Animals are searching for their forever homes all over the world. There are so many dogs, cats, and other adorable creatures that just want to be loved and cared for as they deserve. Shelters are overfilled, animals are left behind by their neglectful owners. However, some stories give hope and light up the world.
Lauren Smith Greeno, from the USA, dedicates her life to taking care of animals in need. She helps out in shelters, taking animals into her own home until they find their loving families. Lauren herself had three dogs of her own, but when she saw the saddest picture of Ginnie on the Charlie’s Crusaders Pet Rescue Facebook page, she knew it was time to invite a new member into her home.

This is Ginnie. She was stuck in the shelter for 6 months because nobody wanted her. She was taken away from her previous owners, because she was treated very poorly

Ginnie was kept on a short leash outside and never knew what a soft bed or toys were

When Lauren saw her on the shelter’s Facebook page, she immediately fell in love. After a week of paperwork and getting to know each other, Ginnie was on her way to her new home

Lauren told Bored Panda: “We first saw Ginnie on the Charlie’s Crusaders Pet Rescue Facebook page.
It was a post asking for a new foster/potential adopter. I emailed them that night and then called in the morning to tell the rescue that I was willing to foster to potentially adopt. I called on a Monday and she was in our home that Sunday.”
She met her three siblings and finally felt like she was at home

This is Ginnie the first time she laid on a bed. She fell asleep almost instantly

“I am immensely grateful that I came across her picture. It warms my heart to see her smile and wag her tail; and I am happy to give her all the snuggles, kisses, and belly rubs. All she wanted was a family to love her and I am happy we could be that family for her. She fits right in.”
