These animals are often found in shelters, foster homes, or rescue organizations, and they can include dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and other types of pets. Rescuing an animal can be a rewarding experience, as it gives the animal a second chance at a happy life and can bring immense joy and companionship to the adopter
