The term Pet Rescue refers to the process of saving pets that have become homeless. Pet Rescue groups were born out of a need to save dogs and find them homes. Years ago, shelters were the place most strays and unwanted dogs ended up. When the shelters got full and a dog was there too long, the dog was put to sleep to make room for other more adoptable dogs coming in. It was, and still is, a very sad situation when a healthy pet is put to sleep as a direct result of humans. The staff working in shelters are still forced to make incredibly gut wrenching decisions everyday. Mostly caused by pet over population and the failure of too many to recognize that pets should be spayed or neutered. Bob Barker, the host of The Price is Right ended every broadcast of the show with a plea to spay or neuter your pets, starting in the 1970's. But even today, there are those that just don't bother.
