30 special animals that were given a second life (31 photos)

All animals deserve love - including those who were born with developmental disabilities or acquired some defects. After all, not all of us are ideal, and sometimes even in this “imperfection” there is so much beauty. Let's take a look at the touching photos and stories of animal rescue that touch the soul.





1. The dog lost his paw to cancer, but is full of energy.



2. "Here's my cat. He doesn't have a paw, but he's still handsome."





3. “The shelter said that this baby is the weakest of the entire cat litter, and is unlikely to survive.. And now she is our queen!”



4. "Our dog caught distemper when he was a puppy. Doctors said he had a 10% chance of survival. But he survived. Although he has serious motor impairments, he is already a year old and he is an adorable guy!"
