Every month your body is bum-rushed with urges to procreate, and what better way to divert those feelings than by laser focusing them on adorably depressing animals. Sure, you might want to have kids someday, but you’ve got a lot of “no kid” living left to do! In the meantime, add these pups to your feed until there are enough sad-eyed “babies” to fill the child-sized hole in your heart.

This teeny-tiny rescue is looking for a loving home and apparently a whole new wardrobe! You don’t need a tiny reflection of yourself to dress up; you need a tiny Chihuahua to dress up. At least she has your husband’s beautiful, dark eyes! Close enough.

These two pups are having a bit of trouble because their dog momma is on pain pills and can’t nurse them. Hey, maybe you could nurse them! With a bottle. We meant with a bottle.
@ILoveFamilyDog
Look at that sweet face! Ahhhh! You don’t even care that she’s deaf. Think of all the noisy bars you’ll take her to where people will find her lil’ quirk endearing. Everyone will want to pet your quirky little baby! Erm, dog. We meant dog.

Old dogs may be even cuter than puppies! That adorable grey muzzle means he needs someone (some saint like yourself) to care for him through his twilight years. Adopting him would be the merciful, loving choice, and so so so much less of a commitment than a baby. Pumpkin!

Theron Humphrey’s dog, Maddie, is a rescued coonhound with a great personality and a talent for balancing. She’s traveled all over to promote her aptly named book, Maddie On Things. It’s hard to imagine a more kind, compassionate thing to do for a dog than to get it a book deal.

Karma is your new favorite pit bull. You followed her journey from being found chained, battered, and dangerously ill to cuddling up with her rescue mommy and daddy. See? You can be a mom to a dog! Motherhood means so much more than birth, so why can’t people open their minds to the possibility of adoption (particularly you adopting) at a distant future time? There’s always time to adopt, right? Right?
It’s clear that any dog can satisfy the maternal feelings you’re having and so much more! Then again, between work and the gym and all the vacations you have planned, who has the time to deal with a dog? Well, you’ll at least throw these rescues a donation every time they make you cry, if you can afford it.
