Here are just a few of the amazing and inspirational not-for-profit animal rescues, sanctuaries, and shelters (in no particular order) located all over the world that offer an interesting and very heart-warming visit.
Founded in 1986 by Gene Baur and Lorri Houston this was the original farm sanctuary in the USA. They run campaigns mostly to advocate for institutional reforms and also encouraging a plant-based living.
In Spain they are used as hunting dogs and tragically the gentle and sensitive dogs are thought to be to be one of the most abused breeds of dog anywhere in the world.
