I am the proud owner of a totally adorable black cat named Goobler.
She was a rescue car who was abused as a kitten, and she was about to be put down at the shelter for biting someone at a pet store event for shelter cat adoption.
When I first adopted her, she was terrified of people; she wouldn't come near me. It took months and months of patience and hard work to get her to trust me.
Now she's a total lap cat. She loves everyone; never runs away from people...she's always talking and purring and snuggling.
Rescued animals are the best! I have a beautiful border collie/kelpie cross who had been so badly treated before I got her that she was scared of the whole world.
She's still a bit crazy (matches her owner) but very different to how she was over 4 years ago.
I was also traumatised when I got her and I really believe we've helped to heal each other. There are no humans I want to live with, but i'd be lost without her.
She needs a lot of exercise and walking her has helped a lot with depression and also with social isolation because of the other dog owners I meet on our walks.
I love cats too but haven't had one for years because I live near bushland and can't afford a cat run to protect local wildlife from a cat or cats.
That's my friend's cat, Ralph...he's kinda like a substitute kitty, since mine can't live with me right now. My apartment is too small for her, so she's staying with family in a big house...I miss her all the time.

I agree! Rehabilitating an animal takes a lot of patience, but you get back what you give a hundredfold.
Your dog sounds so cute ;)
Who's the kitty in your profile pic?
