Animal Rescue

Animal control offices are busy places. They offer many services, such as pet licensing and microchipping, to make sure the animals within their communities remain safe and healthy. Students will be welcomed inside these vital organizations to see their inner workings and will come to appreciate their importance and purpose.

This volume leaves cities and towns behind to introduce students to the world of wildlife preserves. What preserves are, why they are needed, and examples of preserves from around the world will bring students to a clear understanding of many of the issues endangered animals face and the ways conservationists are helping them.

When you get sick, you go to the doctor. But where do animals go when they get sick? To the veterinary hospital, of course! The history behind these hospitals, a description of a veterinarian's job, and even information about how to become a veterinarian are all found here-making this a heartwarming exploration of the way humans care for animals of all kinds.
