Rescue groups are organizations that work towards rescuing animals from dangerous or unfortunate situations, such as abuse, neglect, or natural disasters. These groups often take in abandoned or mistreated animals and provide them with medical care, food, shelter, and love until they can be placed into a forever home. They also work to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, spaying/neutering programs, and humane treatment of all animals. Rescue groups are often run by volunteers who have a passion for helping animals in need.
