Find Animal Rescue Groups Nearby

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.

The organizations are mostly non-profitable because most of them are formed by volunteers. However, one should note that there is a difference between an animal rescue group and an animal shelter some of them being; while the later get most of its funds from the volunteers and donations, the later usually get its fund from the government.

There are different types of rescue organizations and for different purposes. Some are for research; - this one may be funded by the government or by the nongovernmental organizations or just individuals. In this case, these animals are kept in different cages or rooms depending on the type of research that is to be done on them.

Another is that the staffs in shelters usually receive payments for their work while in rescue groups there is no payment since most of the people are volunteers and the funds they usually get from the donations are for the up keep of the 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.
