Is there anything more heartwarming than a story about a neglected pet that’s been given a forever home? We don’t think so, and as you probably have already guessed, it’s time for Bored Panda’s monthly post of some of the most adorable rescue animal pictures.

Reddit users are sharing images of their newly adopted furry friends and they are so cute, we just can’t seem to stop smiling. From tiny newborn kitties to long-sitting shelter dogs, these little critters were saved from the hardship of living on the streets and are leading a full and happy life.

If you wish to end this year on a more wholesome note, continue scrolling! And if you’re in the mood for some more cute animal pics, check out our earlier posts celebrating rescued pets and their rescuers here: November, October, September.
