From Rescue To Rehab When Belle was rescued from her abusing and neglecting owner, she was stubborn around other people.

(From Rescue to Rehab: Belle’s story) After people had started to notice that she was still not comfortable, they took her to a rehabilitation center.

Abuse and violence never solves anything. Animal abuse is a very serious problem in today's world. The ASPCA is an organization that is against animal abuse, its acronym stands for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The ASPCA tries to encourage audience monetary donation by using ethos by their tone, logos and pathos from the pictures and the statistics.

Most of us have pets and consider them part of the family. As a result, we could never imagine the horror some animals are forced to endure at the hands of their caretakers. This particular ad depicts a powerful visual of a neglected dog, in poor health, chained to what seems to be a barrel.

This ad is a public service announcement to bring awareness to the community concerning the horrors of animal abuse, its helpless victims, and to compel the public to make a financial donation to put an end to animal cruelty.

I had no idea that The Misfit would come along and end up killing the entire family. However, once The Misfit came along, I was definitely weary of the story would end. When he showed up and began talking with the grandmother it was evident he was emotionally distraught.

Millions of lives just as innocent as the most generous child; Trapped in the barriers we know as cages, that they know as Hell; Too many lives for humanity to just be a bystander. Each and every day is filled with a million moments and opportunities for us to take a stand and make a change. Animal shelters around the world are constantly filling with new animals; it is simply too much for the small amounts of staff on their own to make sure every animal gets the love they deserve, as well as making sure the shelter is kept tidy and operating. Animal shelters need us, young and old, even if only for an hour. That small span of time can make the world for them; volunteering assures that animals will get daily love, lowers full-time staff stress,
