There are three main aspects to animal rescue:
-- rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of animals
-- humane education for all ages in the community
-- spay and neuter, vaccinations and affordable medical care
There are many organizations in place to deal with rescue and adoption, so Sparky's Pals (a 501(c)(3) Texas corporation) focuses on education, vaccination and spay and neuter - what I would consider the preventative side of animal rescue.
