The Impact of Rescue Organizations
While Spay It Forward is working to prevent the “unwanted” in the future, we must help those that exist in the present.
Rescue groups take in owner surrenders and abandoned cats and dogs thus preventing them from ever entering animal control. Rescue Groups raise their own funds privately, do not receive government funds and are almost all volunteers. Rescued dogs and cats are spayed/neutered and brought back to health by receiving vaccinations, proper diets and medical attention. Many are treated for malnutrition, heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas, ticks, ear mites, blood parasites, mange and other skin issues including allergies.
Others are also given emergency treatment for Parvo and upper respiratory illnesses and provided surgery for broken bones, hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament disease and internal injuries.
Rescued animals are socialized, given basic obedience and house training. They are loved, rehabilitated, marketed and found responsible, loving homes. These animals are given back to our community as non-reproductive, loving family members who increase the quality of life for their families and do their part to help the local economy through veterinarians, pet stores, boarding facilities, groomers and dog trainers.
Bless our area rescue groups, their volunteers,
and those who support them!
