The shelter says there has been a massive influx of people looking to adopt after seeing the images online.

A spokesperson for the shelter, Rachel Kelly says, "Since we have started utilizing social media, we had a record-breaking number of adoptions, placing over 10,000 animals into homes in 2014.
