Jasmine & Fozzy Rescue teams are out in full effect all around the world in order to save those that cannot speak or act on their own behalf. Not everyone understands what makes the heart of a rescuer beat, and that's ok, it takes a special breed of person to answer the call to rescue.
The majority of animals that are rescued have suffered some sort of hardship otherwise, they wouldn't be in need of rescue. Perhaps they were abandoned, dumped, lost or, simply have lived an outdoor life as their parents before them had. While it's not safe to say that these are "easy" rescues, they are definitely not worst case scenarioes.
An extreme case, for instance, would be a dog that has been neglected to the point of starvation, ribs protruding, eyes begging in a silent scream, why? Or, the injured and uncared for, left to die an agonizing death while their "family" steps over and around them. Or, the pup beaten into submission by owners that know no better than to strike rather than to train. These are rescues of epic proportion and urgency, the Defcon 1 of the rescue world.
