Animal rescue refers to the practice of saving and providing care for animals that are abandoned, abused, or otherwise in need of protection. This can involve various activities, including rescuing stray or injured animals, fostering pets until they are adopted, and rehabilitating animals that have faced neglect or trauma. Animal rescue organizations often work to find permanent homes for these animals through adoption programs and may also engage in public education about responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and the need for animal welfare. The goal of animal rescue is to reduce the suffering of animals and promote their well-being, often collaborating with communities, veterinarians, and other stakeholders to improve conditions for animals in need.
