There are many volunteer-driven rescue groups across America that are more than doing their part in the lives of homeless animals. These organizations depend on the big hearts of their volunteers and the pocketbooks of their sponsors, and with all of that they are able to save many wonderful, loving animal companions that would otherwise be euthanized due to lack of resources.
How do they do it? By contacting many shelters that do put their animals to sleep, these rescue groups organize transport chains, often covering hundreds of miles, to bring these animals to the local volunteers who will foster the pets until a home can be found. With just a magnetic sign on the side of their family car, and a car seat cover in the back seat, someone’s future best friend is brought to safety. See if you too can make a difference and look for a No-Kill Rescue Group in your area to support. One really good one is The Last Resort Rescue in Hewitt, NJ. www.thelastresortrescue.com. You will be happy you did!
