Here is but one example (for those in the mid-Atlantic in the USA):

I'd like to know what people think of animal rescue, in the milieu of companion animals such as pets but more generally also.

As far as pets go, my girlfriend and I have 3 dogs and 5 cats. Of these 2 dogs and 3 cats are rescues. I think if ones able to care for the animals rescued than it is a very good thing. Our animals are truly spoiled.
As to rescuing larger animals, such as horses, donkeys and the like, you need a bit of property, proper housing and a good knowledge of how to care for these animals. Not to mention the extra money and time that it takes to properly care for them.
Kindest wishes, Dave

Everyday problems teach us to have a realistic attitude.
They teach us that life is what life is; flawed.
Yet with tremendous potential for joy and fulfillment.

If your path teaches you to act and exert yourself correctly and leads to spiritual realizations such as love, compassion and wisdom then obviously it's worthwhile.

Certainly, yes. (The link above is for a couple trying to find a home for a pair of ferrets.)
I know there are ways to adopt feral horses & burros ("wild horses") in the West of the US. That's a serious commitment, but also a great service to beings.

If I'm not mistaken you can "adopt" these wild horses and burrows.
I know there is such a program in the west for the wild mustangs.

As it turns out, the ferrets are still available and free of charge. FWIW.
