Whether you want a dog or cat, it’s always a good idea to adopt a rescue before considering the pet store. these darlings have had storied lives before they came to the shelter — their past histories often showing through the names they had before getting adopted.
Ana Marie Cox is a writer and well-known TV personality on Twitter. She and her husband once went through a pile of old papers, and found the adoption papers they’d filled out for their rescues. The old names for their pets, Luke and Leia, made the couple laugh.
Husband came across the adoption papers for Luke and Leia, had forgotten they were named “Tiger” and “Josie.” They have better names now.

Soon after, her followers began sharing photos and stories of their own rescues, their old and new names too.

Seems like this one’s rather shy about her big paws. We’re sure they’re quite adorable.
@anamariecox Mabel's original name was Lucy Big Paws. We already had a Lucy, so Mabel it was. She's got big paws. pic.twitter.com/BuSz7dOR0d
