Find Animal Rescue Groups Around You

By Sally Delacruz


Having a pet usually brings life to us like dogs, cats, birds etc. Become your playmate, friend or even companion. But not all people see them as important or the need of having a pet that is why you will find these animals wondering around in the streets homeless, dirty and hungry because they are their owners do not want/need them anymore or they have never had a home. If you are an individual and want to help these animals find animal rescue groups near you to help these animals.

There are organizations such as animal rescue groups that are formed to take care of animals that are left wandering around. They take care of the animals need in that they feed them, wash them and take care of their every need to keep them healthy. Most of the animals taken in by the animal rescue groups are dogs, cats and even some rats. Other wild animals like tigers, lions, apes, monkeys, leopards are also taken in the rescue organizations.

These organizations are mostly formed by volunteers and most of them are often non-profitable. It should however be noted that an animal rescue group and an animal shelter are not the same. While a rescue group is an organization formed for the purpose of taking care of the homeless animals, a shelter only hosts the homeless animals brought in mostly by the rescues until someone interested in adopting them comes.

The other difference between the two is that in rescues the animals are kept in the volunteers home while in shelters the animals are kept in a single facility. The other is rescues are formed for the sole purpose of taking the homeless pets from the streets and taking care of them as if they own them while shelters only host the homeless animals until they find an owner. Rescue groups also make it their responsibility to educate and encourage people to adopt animals while the shelters do not make this part of their responsibility.

The other type of group that rescues animals are for the purpose of educating school kids and for local or national or even international tourists, who pay to see them. There are also those who keep them as volunteer just for the love of animals.

There are many reasons why one should adopt a pet from shelters or rescues which are; you will get a healthy pet since they are checked by the veterinary before adopting. The second is you will give a lonely homeless pet a home and family, once you adopt it, it becomes part of your family. If an individual decides on adopting a dog the benefit he/she gets is that it keeps thieves or burglars away thus protecting your home.

Reasons that one should adopt an animal through a rescue group other than any other source are that one should sure that the pet they want to adopt is healthy due to the reference from the veterinary. It is cheaper than any other source and the procedures for adopting are simple and easy.

Cleanliness and proper training is also guaranteed in this case. It is also proper for people not to leave animals abandoned and loitering the streets, instead take them to rescue organizations where they get good care, are vaccinated and are kept in a clean and friendly environment.
