Animal Rescue refers to the organized effort to save and rehabilitate animals that are abandoned, abused, neglected, or in danger due to various circumstances. This practice involves the rescue of domesticated animals, such as dogs and cats, but can also extend to wildlife species. Animal rescue organizations work to provide shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation for these animals, with the ultimate goal of finding them permanent, loving homes.
In addition to direct rescue efforts, many animal rescue groups participate in advocacy, education, and awareness campaigns to promote animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spaying and neutering to prevent overpopulation. Animal rescue is often volunteer-driven and may operate through shelters, foster homes, or rescue networks. The term encapsulates a compassionate approach to addressing the plight of animals in society, highlighting the humane responsibility of individuals and organizations to protect and care for them.
