16 of the Best Kind of Before and After Photos
A while back we re-posted a story from buzzfeed about rescue dogs, showing their before and after photos. The response was so overwhelming that when we came across another story of rescued dogs, we knew we needed to share.
Warning: the before photos will break your heart, don’t worry though, the after photos will put it back together.
Rasta – from the streets of Montreal, he cleans up very nicely.
Miley – found in a trash pile, unable to walk is now happy and healthy.
Kenzi – an abuse case from San Antonio is now loved and cared for.
Ellen – now 2 pounds lighter from matted fur, she’s ready for a new beginning.
Dolly – 10 pounds of fur lighter this charming girl will never have to eat out of trash cans again.
Theo – after being abandoned by his owners and spending a year on the streets, this dapper dog is quite the charmer.
Little Betty – abandoned by her owners, Little Betty now has a lot of love.
Woody – scared, hiding, and blind in one eye, this pup let love save him.
Treasure – her hair was so matted she couldn’t walk, but rescuers uncovered this diamond in the rough.
Alana – a matted mess, this beautiful pup now has a loving home.
Boo – looking more like a wet rat than a dog when found on the side of the road, this pup cleans up nicely.
Iggy – barely alive with a nasty eye infection on the streets of Mexico, people of facebook banded together to get him shipped to the U.S. and cared for – now he’s so fancy!
Vita – close to death in a junkyard in LA, this dashing dog is fully rehabilitated and ready for a new life.
Cedar – found hairless and bone-thin, he now has a great new home with great care.
Olivia – these photos, only one year apart, take a sad and rail thin pup to a happy, healthy, adorable dog.
Shrek – after hair removed and wounds healed, this adorable dog is anything but an ogre.
I had never noticed how expressive a dog’s face could be, but looking from the before to the after photo you can see it in their eyes, in their tongues lolling out in happiness and in the tilt of their heads. Donate to your local animal shelter, volunteer your time at a rescue center, or adopt.
