Wanting to help rescue animals is something I know I get from my family. Every Saturday my mother used to go to Petsmart and help with the adoption process, because Saturdays are the biggest day for animal adoption according to the people who work with Wag, which is an animal adoption agency that works out of Wyandotte, Michigan. Even if you are not in the Wyandotte area, you can still volunteer with them or donate. They work with a lot of the Petsmart stores in the metro Detroit area, and that's how my mom got involved with them.
One day, my mom went to Petsmart to buy dog food and decided to just look at the cat cages. When she walked in, one of the cats that grabbed her with it's claw as she walked by. Obviously the cat stole her attention and my mom began to pet and fuss over the cat. A few days passed and my mom was still thinking about the cat so she made a phone call to Wag, and discovered that this cat was found in a dumpster in Wyandotte and was found with it's sibling, another cat that was from the same litter. The two cats were found together in a dumpster, skin and bones. The organization Wags took the cats in and fixed them and provided them with proper medial treatments from a veterinarian.
My mother, having a soft spot in her heart for animals had to adopt them both because she could not separate these two cats that have been together since the day they were born. Today, the two cats are still inseparable and are now nine years old. Along with those two cats, we have another cat and dog both adopted from the Wags organization.
Something that I urge everyone to do or get involved with is animal rescue. I know not everyone loves animals, however if it is something that are are interested, get involved! Their are hundreds of organization for almost every kind of animal that is desperately in need of some type of donations. If you don't have any money to spare, you can also get involved with volunteering. Any amount of help that these animal rescue organizations receive is greatly appreciated.
The organization Wags, that my family was mostly involved in can be found on twitter, https://twitter.com/WAG_Rescue Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/pages/WAG-Animal-Rescue/125469553530?ref=nf and they have their website for additional information http://www.waganimalrescue.com/
If you are an animal lover, I highly suggest that you look at their Twitter, Facebook, and website for more information and different ways you can get involved if this is something you have a passion for.
However, here are some links to other animal rescue organizations that you can get involved in if you have a passion for animals.
