Define rescue... I "rescued" my rabbit from death, he was on sale in a pet shop and he hadn't been sold in 6 months and had stopped eating and drinking and no one knew why. My friend's Mum worked in the shop and she let me get him out and we discovered he had funny ingrowing teeth. She said I could have him for free, she checked with the shop owner and she said if she doesn't take him I'll get my husband to wring his neck, no one will want to buy him when he's got that problem so I took him.

I rescued some mice from my work experience placement as they were being allowed to breed continually and then were either fed to snakes or just let out to be caught by the cats. So my friend and I took them, rehomed what we could and then kept whatever was left.

At the Outlet where I work there was a little black and white wagtail who had flown into the complex, once they get in they don't seem to realize they fly down to the automatic doors to get out, the windows don't open or anything so they starve to death. I manage to throw a jacket over this bird and picked him up and let him go outside. Bless him.

The 4 dogs I had..one died last year...were all rescued..
A few years back I had some property and took in what finally amounted to about 20 dogs...I eventually had to give it up because of the cost.
.But I found them all homes...and kept the 4.

Yes I rescused some domestic bunnies that were hopping down the centre of the road.
I also rescued a German Shep from the side of the road in the middle of no-where that was very cold and hungry and scared.

I rescued a baby rabbit once from my cat.
The screams sounded like a baby crying and
I couldn't stand it, so I finally got it away
from my cat and put some peroxide on it's
leg and bandaged it up and away it went.

Some kittens! And have found them new good homes Smile At least could help some of the poor little things, if I see a miserable kitten in the street who needs care, I always rescue it.

I get the urge to rescue a few animals whenever my pantry starts looking a bit empty.

Not really

Once in an autumn we found many small mice in a garden in country. I and my sister, we were small and thought it would be great to have such pets so we took them and hided from parents. We wanted to bring them back home. Parents saw them and we had to let them go
