17 abandoned cats and dogs that found a loving forever home
Life can be tough for many cats and dogs. Thrown out on the street or taken to a shelter, their future doesn't always look bright...
People who rescue and foster these animals in distress or look after them when they are in an animal shelter are real life-savers, but can only offer a temporary solution. Shelter and foster homes quickly become overcrowded, so the search for a forever home is an on-going priority. And the change in these four-legged friends is incredible once they settle down with their new family.
