Countless strays that would otherwise be roaming the street seek refuge in an animal shelter. Some creatures that end up at the shelter are there because they have been ill-treated by their owners. In other cases, they have been illegally kept as pets or injured in the wild. These animals aren’t able to return to the wild so they rely on animal shelters to keep them safe.
Dogs, cats, wolves, huskies, farm animals, horses along with other wildlife rely on animal shelters to adopt them and care for them. You can get up close and get to know the community of the shelter or rescue center when you decide to volunteer.
