PublishAmerica July 9, 2007 8vo softcover 261pp very good. Signed by Author on half-title. This uplifting book is about my experiences in an extraordinary no-kill animal shelter. This tiny shelter is special because life-saving miracles happen there daily. There are not enough adjectives to express the enormous amount of generosity, kindness and good that takes place in this modest structure run by all volunteers twenty-four/seven. I will tell you how I got involved, give you a candid look behind the scenes, our many struggles, policies, protocols, and how well we care and advocate for our animals. There are not enough high words to describe the selfless volunteers. The variety of authentic animal stories throughout the book will keep you glued. It is about abandoned, abused, mutilated, neglected animals rescued into our no-kill shelter. We do not turn away the elderly, diabetic, disabled, deaf, blind, etc. The uniqueness of this book comes in the stories about what happens to these unfortunate creatures.
