If you happen to Google “pet adoption stories,” be prepared to feel both inspired and uplifted. It’s no secret that people love animals, but it’s possible that a great matchmaking story holds the same power over us. If you’re like other animal lovers, you might get all gooey at the sight of a happy cat or dog. What if this could be you? Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced pet owner, the joy of pet adoption is unlike any other.
