Rescue organizations are non-profit groups that work towards saving animals from dangerous or unfortunate situations. These organizations often take in abandoned, injured, 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 prevent animal cruelty by raising awareness about responsible pet ownership, spaying/neutering programs, and promoting humane treatment of all animals. Rescue organizations rely on donations, volunteers, and foster homes to carry out their mission of saving lives.
