With days getting shorter, and more people getting into the moody vibe of autumn blues, it’s only fair we need some warming up to do from the inside out. And while a pumpkin spiced latte and a slice associated with carrot cake will just do a job for a short time, we know the soul warmer that will last for the whole month.

Welcome to Uninterested Panda ’s monthly collection of rescued and adopted woofers and puppers, plus all other critters worthy of a second chance in life. Below you’ll find the most inspiring and soul-soothing stories about lucky pets who found their new forever families and wouldn’t imagine their life without them.

Also, after you’re done reading this article, be sure to catch up on our previous features with more preserved four-legged (but not only! ) cutie pies. Here await the August , July , June and May editions.
