7. Lil Bub

Talk about taking pet fame to another level. Bub was a runt from a feral litter and rescued when it was discovered she had several genetic diseases.

She has helped raise over $300,000 for a national fund for special needs pets.

While this may all seem like fun and play, social media is bringing awareness to animal shelters and rescue organisations who are using the internet to reach out to the public for help. We encourage you to spread the pictures of these famous pets, but also to think of all the other animals who need a forever home.

If you see a dog or cat up for adoption, you can tag a friend and encourage them to check out their potential pet. Remember the more awareness to the plight of animals, the better.
