The existence of Animal Shelters may still receive less attention from some people, but Animal Shelters have a noble mission to help dogs and cats that are abandoned or abandoned by their owners. We can help them by adopting one or more of the animals in the Animal Shelter .
Here are 6 interesting facts we need to know about Animal Shelters !
1. Have a Noble Mission
What is the fate of animals that are abandoned without legal protection? This is one of the big missions that shelter activists want to achieve , namely to save the lives of abandoned/abandoned animals so that they can later be better cared for by you or the surrounding community.
2. Shelter Activist, More Than Animal Lover
Liking animals is not enough. Commitment, hard work and a lot of money are needed to support the shelter activist’s mission to save animals. Often, these costs are spent from the shelter activist’s own personal funds because of their high love and concern for abandoned animals.
3. Controlling Over-population
As more stray dogs and cats breed, more of them end up abandoned or thrown out on the streets. In shelters , rescued animals are immediately sterilized. This is done to control the overpopulation of stray animals.
4. Existing assistance is still minimal
The assistance that shelters usually receive is a discount from the vet or a discount on pet food from pet food manufacturers. You as an individual can also help them by donating (can be in the form of money/goods/medicine), becoming a volunteer in animal rescue, a foster parent for abandoned animals, or even adopting one of the animals in the shelter . All of this will mean a lot, Pet Lovers !
5. Professional Animal Rescue
The shelter has a procedure to check the health condition of animals found. If no health problems are found, the animal will be immediately vaccinated & sterilized. However, if the condition of the animal found requires surgical treatment, surgery will be performed immediately. After the animal has recovered from surgery, vaccination and sterilization will be given so that they are ready for adoption.
6. Anyone Can Adopt, Of Course Under Certain Conditions
Everyone can adopt an animal at the shelter as long as they have a strong commitment.
There are stages of the process that will be passed before you can adopt an animal from the shelter . Prospective adopters must take an interview and shelter activists will also conduct a survey of prospective adopters. After the adopter adopts an animal from the shelter , the shelter team will occasionally check the condition of the adopted animal.
