Spring has taken off, and days are getting longer, and yet, after a long winter, we all crave rays of sunshine more than ever.

And while we cannot change the weather forecast, nor can we bring midsummer to your door, we can warm our souls from the inside out. Bored Panda’s loyal readers already know that the best way to do that is getting your monthly dose of these pets' heart-melting adoption and rescue stories.

So welcome to the March edition that features little critters finding their new forever home and happiness. Upvote your favorite pictures and be sure to check out our previous post with more adopted furballs from January.

#4 Frank’s Face After His Gotcha Moment. Halllp!

The shelter said it was the fastest turnaround adoption they’d ever had. My son and I went to the humane society—his mission was to adopt an orange cat. A woman walked thru the door with Frank in her arms, said that the dogs she owned were terrorizing him, he is so loved and happy now!!
