rescue organization
Emergency aid agency
A rescue organization is a group that takes in abandoned, abused, or unwanted animals—typically dogs or cats—and places them in new homes.
Unlike shelters, rescues often use foster networks rather than central facilities: We adopted our dog from a local rescue organization.
The term occasionally applies to groups rescuing humans in disaster or conflict zones.
