This Valentine's Day, forget about the chocolates that will just be eaten and roses which will soon wilt. Instead, consider providing the greatest gift of all - a forever home for a lonely pet. The Dodo and Distractify have teamed up to share some Valentine cards, from pets who could use some love this season:
