animal sheltering

Animal sheltering refers to the practice of providing refuge, care, and rehabilitation for abandoned, neglected, or stray animals, primarily dogs and cats. Shelters typically offer various services, including medical treatment, food, and socialization, while striving to find these animals permanent, loving homes through adoption. They often work with the community to promote responsible pet ownership, spaying and neutering, and education on animal welfare. Shelters play a crucial role in reducing overpopulation and providing a safe environment for animals in need.
