animal rescuers

Creature salvation workers

Animal rescuers are people who save animals from dangerous, abusive, or neglectful situations.

The term typically refers to volunteers or workers who retrieve strays, rehabilitate injured wildlife, or remove animals from hoarding cases and puppy mills.

Animal rescuers pulled dozens of dogs from the flooded shelter.

The work often involves fostering animals until permanent homes are found.
