The Importance of Dog Rescues and Charities Around the World

There are countless dog rescues and charities around the world that support dogs in need. These organizations provide a vital service, as they help to rescue dogs from abusive or dangerous situations, provide them with necessary medical care, and find them loving homes. Without these rescues and charities, many dogs would be left to suffer alone. At Jasikini Swimwear, we are passionate about dogs. We believe our furry counterparts all over the world deserve a life that keeps them happy, healthy, and safe. That's why we support dog rescues and charities by donating 5% of each sale directly to global dog rescue organizations. They all save the lives of abused dogs, as well as raise global awareness against animal cruelty. 

Improving Pet Health

One of the most important reasons to support dog rescues and charities is that it helps improve pet health. For many dogs who are rescued from abusive or dangerous situations, the fight for life is just beginning. These dogs may have been malnourished, neglected, or even physically abused. They may also have been exposed to diseases or parasites and may need to overcome dangerous infections before they can start living a normal happy life. Rescues have the capability to give these dogs the treatment, care, and patience they need to recover. From complex surgeries, physical therapy, and foster care, dog rescues help rehabilitate these abused animals so they can be ready for their new life in a loving home. However, the road to recovery is an expensive one, that's why dog rescues need the support of their community to help them continue to provide adequate care to abused animals.

They Are the Front Line for Animals After a Disaster

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes, often leave animals stranded and injured. While rescue workers work tirelessly to save families from such devastation, it is their job to prioritize people over animals. Without local animal rescue teams on the ground, many of these animals would be left to find their own way to survive. For example, in 2017 during Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas there were hundreds of dogs who went missing from their homes due to the heavy rains and flooding. As soon as the storm was over, local animal rescues immediately sprang into action posting pictures and information about lost pets on social media sites, like Facebook, so owners could easily see if their dog had been rescued or not. Animal shelters also set up temporary kennels where they provided food, water, blankets, and toys for the displaced animals. In times of crisis, it's crucial that people support their local animal charities so they can provide life-saving aid to as many animals as possible.

Bringing Communities Together

While support for dogs all over the world is, of course, very important; one thing that often gets overlooked is how support for animal charities can help strengthen communities. Dogs are a part of many families around the world and when these animals need support, people come together to rally behind them. Whether it's showing support at events, volunteering time and energy, or donating money; every contribution helps these charities support sick animals in need. Local animal rescues also act as a place where people can volunteer and make new friends who share the same passion for helping dogs. Not only does this strengthen communities but it also helps improve people's mental health by providing them with an opportunity to help others and focus on the positive impact they are making, instead of dwelling on their own problems. Animal charities also play a big role in making communities more dog-friendly by scheduling events that owners and pets can enjoy together.

They Help Create New Best Friends

When people support dog rescues, they are often helping to create new best friends. Dogs who have been through difficult times need extra love and support, and what better way to provide that than by opening up your home to a rescue dog? By adopting a dog from a rescue, you are giving them a chance at a new life in a loving home. You are also freeing up space in the shelter for another dog who might need it more. And finally, you are creating an incredible bond with another living being that will last forever. Shelters also reduce the need for unethical breeding establishments like "puppy mills" where dogs are often kept in poor conditions and produce puppies with poor health. While shelter dogs are not the purebred breed that can cost you a fortune, they are still loyal and loving and make excellent new members to your home.
