Although many people in this world would be happy to give a darling animal a good home, it's also true that the number of critters who need them can seem pretty overwhelming.
And since they're all pretty lovable in their own way, a lot of shelters have felt the need to start getting creative in how to make their animals stand out from the others.
It's through such thinking that one cat found a home after her shelter told the world she was a jerk and "the world's worst cat," while another was promoted as the "chonkiest" by a different shelter.
And while one Virginia animal shelter didn't have a similar bid for publicity in mind when they found themselves with an unusual number of pregnant dogs, one worker's idea has since snowballed into something big.
