On my way to school I found a kitten on the highway, the poor little thing almost got hit. I ended up having to take him to class with me, but now he is safe and has a full belly. he is the sweetest thing!

How to save an animal
It made me
 "I found a pigeon that couldn't fly (I found out later this was because he was dehydrated); I took care of him til he got his strength back and flew away."
How I did it: I found out (from a web search) that if the pigeon's droppings are dark green, the bird is likely dehydrated. You can search the internet for tips on how to get an injured bird to drink or swallow water - there are many. I was able to give mine some small bits of kibble soaked in water, which got enough water into his system to improve his health. I know most people don't like pigeons and think they're "filthy," but I wasn't about to just leave him lying there helpless to get hit by a car. |

How I did it: I went hiking with friends, and a cat some jerk had abandoned in the woods came up to us about half a mile into the hike. she was so skinny and had a bad wound. we turned around with her, and immediately went all over town findng some place open and willing to help us. she's very happy and healthy now. :) Read how I did it…

Anytime you can save an animal it’s well worth it. Animals are my life and I’d do anything to help them. I’m currently studying pre-vet and one day I want to have a huge rescue center. And I will tell you from expirience, that shelter dogs are the most loving and loyal kind. Somehow they know. They know you saved them and are forever grateful.
“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace.” – Milan Kundera

last christmas i rescued 2 feeder rats, but they got sick and died. one had really weird neurological problems… it was heartbreaking, but at least i tried.
growing up on a ranch we rescued a kitten a bird had dropped that was dying. we kept it for years, i think my mom still has her. lots of dogs people abandoned.
a few years ago i rescued 2 baby birds that fell out of their nest and were covered with ants. turned out when i took them to petco they knew the town “bird lady”, who came and got them.
i think i would feel alot worse if i didn’t do anything, even if the animal doesn’t make it…
i’ve rescued a german shepherd from the pound and found him the perfect home. and i used to work with the feral cat rescue group of north texas in denton.
we took in a flood dog that’s been starving since katrina a few days ago. animals in need of help are everywhere, we have 3 flood dogs here…
everyone should help animals, it’s good for you and good for them, no matter the outcome.
