Need a cure for the Monday blues? Our photo feature is here to help provide a brief diversion from your workday routine with a small dose of squee, wow and awwww. Enjoy!

Daylight saving time has come to an end, but the Sanctuary's animals want to continue sleeping, even though they got an additional hour of snooze time. We say let sleeping dogs (and other pets) lie — not only because some extra shut-eye is beneficial, but also because the pics are extra cute.

Nothing’s better than waking up next to a four-footed companion. Adopt!
