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!

Everyone looks better wearing a smile, so the second week of August has been chosen as National Smile Week to promote dental care. However, it’s not just humans who look good flashing their pearly whites. Animals do too. Seeing happy Sanctuary residents, including dogs, cats, pigs, horses, a goat, gopher and even a tortoise, grinning from ear to ear is sure to put a smile on faces as well.

Know what else brings a smile to your face? It’s the companionship of a beloved pet.
