"Out
of Harm's Way"
by Terri Crisp
The amazing autobiography of Terri Crisp, who since 1983, has
devoted herself to saving animals during disasters. From her early volunteer work with the
Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley, helping stranded pets during local San Francisco Bay
area floods and fires, to her recent full-time job as director of Emergency Animal Rescue
Services, Crisp's dedication and determination are undaunted. During her first rescue
mission, she learned first-hand how to aid animals during a flood. The experience
changed her life forever, and she vowed to create something that was sorely lacking--a
nationwide animal rescue plan that could be followed during any catastrophe. She
spent six months organizing clean-up efforts for seabirds and otters after the Exxon
Valdez oil spill in Alaska, helped place innumerable homeless animals after Florida's
Hurricane Andrew, and set up animal relief services during the devastating St. Charles
flood in Missouri. An appendix lists invaluable tips for safeguarding your own dogs, cats,
birds, and horses during a disaster. |

Found Dogs
by Elise Lufkin, Diana Walker (Photographer), Peter Mayle
Every year, millions of dogs are abandoned - at racetracks, animal shelters or just
on the side of the road. A few are fortunate enough to be found and given a second
chance. And these dogs, many rescued from death's door, seem to have even more than the
usual canine capacity for love and loyalty. You'll meet found dogs who are service dogs,
protectors, and friends, offering solace, aid, companionship and inspiration. Found Dogs
is a moving tribute to the power of love between people and dogs - how that love has
transformed dogs who were lost, and the people who were lucky enough to find them.
Celebrity contributions by the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and Vice-President Al Gore make
this a top-notch collection. |

Lost and Found : Dogs, Cats, and Everyday Heroes at a Country Animal
Shelter
by Elizabeth Hess
Hess, an arts journalist who has written for the Village Voice and the Washington
Post, first visited the animal shelter to adopt a dog for her daughter. A
"series of ramshackle buildings and a shabby trailer, surrounded by a few chickens
and a couple of contented cats," the Columbia-Greene Humane Society grounds were
humble at best. But what Hess found inside the shelter inspired her to write this book.
From the dog kennels and the cat rooms to a puppy mill raid and rides in the shelter
ambulance, Hess introduces innumerable animals and humans who will inspire, educate, and
break your heart. With more than 20 million animals ending up in shelters each year in the
United States alone, Hess's demand to rethink our relationships with domestic animals
couldn't have come at a better time. |
