Grammar issue presented: modifiers

Finally rescued from the streets is a modifier. It must be placed as close as possible to what it describes.

Finally rescued from the streets, the shelter provides the dogs with food and routine exercise.

The modifier is misplaced because it is next to shelter. The dogs are what is rescued from the streets, NOT the shelter.
