When you go to the shelter, or when you imagine yourself adopting a new furry friend into your life, you probably have this picture of a perfectly put together pet, with a shining coat of fur, a cute, symmetrical face, and four adorable, functioning paws. But did you ever think of all of the animals that are just as full of light and love, but whose bodies might not be as complete? Handicapped animals will love you just as much as a fully able creature, and these little guys prove that a handicap won’t diminish a pet’s worth one bit.
