Animals are always in need of help. Many different animal organizations like the ASPCA try to get people to commit their time and money to help animals. Some organizations will run commercials showing how dogs and cats are treated so inhumanely. Then rescuers must go in and take the mistreated animals to their shelters. At the shelters, the animals are tended to by veterinarians and other members to try to revive the animals.
However, these treatments all cost lots of money. The only way these organizations survive is through donations from volunteers. Sometimes, animal shelters will have people adopt their animals to keep and pay a nominal amount. Other people will rescue large amounts of animals since they can’t afford to donate money.
