A pet can become his owner’s very best friend. Your tailed companion will always wait for you to come back from work, make you laugh, give you their warmth and gratitude. Sadly, many pets end up abandoned and have to live on the streets. Yet not every story has to end joylessly and some of the animals are lucky enough to meet people who are ready to rescue or adopt them and give them a new home.
