"Dallas Pets Alive!, a no-kill dog rescue in Texas, began spreading their mission through #Muttbombing. The gist: The rescue has started a feed of daily photos, where they photoshop a dog into famous people&amp;#039;s Instagram shots. They&amp;#039;re certainly raising awareness and cuteness levels on social media. Even Ryan Gosling looks better with a dog by his side:  Another big story making its rounds online: A family adopted a puppy from the Santa Cruz SPCA, and it immediately fell in love with their youngest son, snuggling up with him regularly during naptime. Mom Jessica Shyba began documenting their cuddle-sessions, and decided to use their immediate popularity to give back to the shelter that had brought their dog, Theo, into their family. Through Valentine&amp;#039;s Day partnerships with E-vite and Instagram call-outs for users to submit their own photos, Shyba has managed to leverage this cuteness to donate funds to SPCA, in hopes that other pups will find equally loving homes.         Hard to believe it&amp;amp;#39;s only been 10 weeks. #tbt #theoandbeau A photo posted by Jessica Shyba (@mommasgonecity) on Jan 23, 2014 at 12:35pm PST             Daily Zen #theoandbeau A photo posted by Jessica Shyba (@mommasgonecity) on Feb 22, 2014 at 1:23pm PST     Puppies aren&amp;#039;t the only ones feeling the love online. Brandon Stanton, the man behind the photo blog Humans of New York, started a new initiative inspired by his adoption of a senior dog, Susie. To encourage others to welcome these elderly pets into their home, he began Susie&amp;#039;s Senior Dogs, a Facebook page of aww-worthy pictures of aging pets looking for homes. Below, see Tanya, a 7-year-old dog and Shiloh, an 11-year-old Beagle:         NEW YORK CITY: This is such a simple dog story it makes it special. But you really must watch to video to fully grasp Tanya&amp;amp;#39;s life - it&amp;amp;#39;s more than worth your next three minutes of time. http://youtu.be/Kx3M3qmtRQ8 This short film shares the simple details of Tanya, she is a very regular dog who has only known an irregular life. Tanya means so much to Elli from @mrbonesandco_rtr\uFEFF that she is willing to travel anywhere in the United States to find Tanya&amp;amp;#39;s perfect forever home. What Tanya really needs is an extra compassionate, kind, and patient human, one who is not going to give up on her. Serious applicants only! &amp;quot;In this video I state that I will travel anywhere in the continental US for the right home. I will absolutely do this for this very special dog. She has waited her entire life, 7 1/2 years, for a home of her own. She was picked over likely due to breed, color and then the stigma of being picked over and still in the shelter. Remarkably, her spirit is not broken. She deserves this- a few days of travel for me is nothing if it means she can have one amazing life, once and for all! I figured I would ask anyone living more than 4 hours away that wants to adopt her to send a video of their home and their family and tell us all about themselves so that I don&amp;amp;#39;t drive to Timbuktoo and realize the home won&amp;amp;#39;t work for her. Maybe we can we can get 2-3 great options for her and I can make a connect-the-dot road trip and then pick the best home for her, the one she&amp;amp;#39;s been literally waiting for her entire life. Where ever it takes us, I&amp;amp;#39;m renting a car because I&amp;amp;#39;ll definitely be flying back for the return trek!&amp;quot; Please email Elli at elli@mrbonesandco.org. Share with her as much information as possible and why you think you and Tanya are soul mates. You can change Tanya&amp;amp;#39;s life today! \u2764 #seniordog #adopt #adoptme #needhome #willtravel #foreverhome #dog A photo posted by Susie&amp;amp;#39;s Senior Dogs (@susiesseniordogs) on Feb 26, 2014 at 9:26am PST             A sweet thank you note from the Hussey family to all of you: &amp;quot;We already had a dog, and didn&amp;amp;#39;t have the intention on adopting a second one in the near future. But right around the holidays, my husband was at the pound when he saw this older Beagle (she was about 11). She was a stray and had been picked up by Animal Control. She has been at the pound for over a month, and due to her age, we knew it would be difficult for her to find a home, so we welcomed her to our family and named her Shiloh. We could tell that she was house trained, but also that she had been abused in the past. Shiloh also suffered from nightmares. Over the weeks, that got better, and she looked happier and more comfortable with us. We are thankful to have her in our family. And thank you for spreading the word that senior dogs need love and a home too!&amp;quot; -The Hussey Family \u2764 #seniordog #lovestory #beagle #foreverhome #adopted A photo posted by Susie&amp;amp;#39;s Senior Dogs (@susiesseniordogs) on Feb 13, 2014 at 12:55pm PST     Last, but not least, The Shelter Pet Project is filling Facebook feeds with a recent series of ads that we know will create a lump in your throat. Each image imagines what the rescued pet&amp;#039;s new family first said when they met, like this one:    If that doesn&amp;#039;t make you want to run out right now and adopt whole new fur family, these adorable photos just might.
