After watching that really sad ASPCA commercial, I thought it would be a good idea to start a local animal shelter, and start an animal rescue group.There is only one problem, I’m only thirteen years old, and have no way of getting money to start one.
Can someone tell me how I could try to start an animal shelter/rescue group?
i’m 13 too and successfully i also did a shelter, there was a plain empty lot near to ma place, no construction going on, nothin so i decided to build a shelter there. we planted the whole place with grass. and then made a huge fence around the area thanks to a lot of help and support by my family and friends. my father hired a constructor to build the liittle building and we put up new signs and i’m still working on the website!we divided the building into different categories for different kinds of animals and brought houses for the animals . now, people are still dropping off animals and we hired vets there.
u can do the same if ya want i had lotta fun on it!
good luck!

I graduated for something completely different- animation.. But I really love animals. I can do freelance for my other job, but I’d love to be an animal rescue person.. What steps should I take to do this? I want to help animals, and I think a rescue person would be great.. What does it entail?
watch the animal rescue shows on animal planet and go to their website…also, look for animal shelters in your area and see if you could help out!! you would be a great animal life saver!! :]

I want to start an animal rescue sometime,where I can take in any kind of abused and abandoned animals and give them a chance. Around how much would it cost to get started,how much land would you need,do you need a special license to do this? Any help would be great! Thank you.
Starting up a Rescue
It is important that no one start up a rescue without first having a nest egg from which to withdraw. When the word is out that you have a rescue, the animals will start to come. By registering yourself as a rescue it will be assumed that you will have the money to provide care where others could not, and this includes emergency medical care. I know that like myself some rescues have started from scratch with no funds, straight from home, with no help from the public and practically nothing to start with and have somehow survived.
In order to keep a rescue operating, there has to be a continuous cash flow. The best way to do so is by fund rasing, but if you are a small rescue, it may be impossible.
You need to keep up to date records of where the funds raised go, as nothing makes a rescue look bad than not opening the books to its members, the public, or to people who want to make a donation and would like to see where their money is going. By keep accurate and up to date records. You should make sure to separate your own personal expenses from those of the rescue, the rescue should not be their to pay your food or phone bills.
The success or failure of your rescue will depend of the number of volunteers, try to get as many as possible so that one or two people do not end up doing all the work. You need to be able to delegate work so that if you need to have time away, the needs of your animals will be taken into consideration, feeding, cleaning, grooming, etc.
Your rescue needs to set your self a realistic goal and something to stand for, how many animals are you going to rescue each year. If you reach that point, are you going to be able to say "NO", or have a situation where you may need the help of other rescues to be able to continue your work? You need to put your goal in writing so that every one can see it, then once you have reached that goal you can then say we are full and if we take in more animals we will become over crowded. No rescue will run successfully if the goal is disregarded and more animals are taken in. If you are looking for congratulations each time you take a pet in or re-home a pet then maybe you should look at why you are rescuing animals.
Anyone who takes donations at events or accepts donations of just £2.74p per day over a year will be taken over the £1000 barrier.

What are the main advantages of being a charity?
The main advantages are that charities:
* do not normally have to pay income/corporation tax (in the case of some types of income), capital gains tax, stamp duty, and gifts to charities are free of inheritance tax;
* pay no more than 20% of normal business rates on the buildings which they use and occupy to further their charitable purposes;
* can get special VAT treatment in some circumstances;
* are often able to raise funds from the public, grant-making trusts and local government more easily than non-charitable bodies;
* can formally represent and help to meet the needs of the community;
* are able to give the public the assurance that they are being monitored and advised by us;
* can seek advice from us;
* can get information from us, for example, our range of free publications.

“10-10-2007 Brescia
Tonight 2 rabbits, 13 ducks, 2 rats, 10 mice, 9 hens/chickens and about 200 chicks have had their lives changed, freed from the cages of a vivisection lab and safe from the experiments and death they were destined for. For these animals the dream to live free, play in the grass and enjoy sunlight, has come true.
The lab where we took these animals from is in a basement of the “Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Lombardia e dell’Emilia Romagna,” in Brescia. IZS is a state-funded research centre, a huge complex with many buildings, warehouses, offices, sheds and research labs.
The experiments the animals undergo at this centre are carried out for the benefit of farmers. Private animal abuse businesses are sustained and supported by research centres like IZS, where the torture of thousands of animals is paid for with public money.
Many of the animals we saved were used for experiments on vaccines; the Gumboro disease for chickens and MEV for rabbits.
THESE DISEASES POSE NO THREAT TO HUMAN HEALTH
Just a glimpse of what these creature are undergoing: the rabbits inoculated with MEV die of hemorrhages, their organs are then used to produce MEVAX, a vaccine patented by the same IZS of Brescia. During the still ongoing experiments rabbits have died while blood samples were taken directly from the heart.
Mice are infected with a flu virus, a low risk stock, but we handled them with care anyway and they will live isolated from other animals.
A scare created by IZS or the usual defenders of vivisection should be seen just as a pathetic attempt to cover the dirty business of researchers and discredit the actions of those moved by compassion. If there is anyone putting at risk human health it is the scientists, reckless individuals who play with viruses, and farmers, owners of concentration camps where diseases spread easily due to the intensive farming conditions.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all this fury toward sentient and helpless beings, and all this ridiculous science made up of trials done thousands of times with no results, finds its only excuse for existence in fighting diseases spreading in farms due to infections caused by overcrowded conditions, bad hygiene, and stress, all of which help to create a fertile ground for viruses. The only solution is the end of these concentration camps.
Saving these desperate beings was not difficult: we studied the routine of the guards and found the best way to enter one of the labs, in this case a small window at the back, near the railway. Many times we entered to inspect the rooms, finding segregated animals, many in aseptic conditions inside isolators and always with artificial light on. We read through documents about the experiments and took a look at their fridges full of organs, and filmed the sad life of these animals and the agony of dozens of chicks left to die in their cage.
Many animals who we saw in the past weeks were no longer there. They have been sacrificed and we were not in time to save them. To them, and to all those we could not reach, we dedicate this night when passing through the window, scaling a fence, we went out on the railway, towards the dark and the fresh air, towards the end of this nightmare.
Behind us we left an empty and completely devastated lab: isolators damaged, paint on the cages, slogans spraypainted on walls, feed packets destroyed, sinks clogged and rooms flooded.
Untill the last slaughterhouse and the last vivisection lab is burned to the ground.
