Summary: Beautiful-Mesmerizing-Unforgettable!
Comment: I could not get enough of this book. I found myself stealing away to read it at odd times as if it was the latest best selling fiction novel. From the first sentence to the last, Elizabeth Hess sweeps you into the world of the county animal shelter. Although the Columbia-Greene Humane Society, of which she writes, is extraordinary in its first rate interest in the animals in its care,the stories of the animals there are those of the millions and millions of discarded animals that end up in shelters everywhere. In addition to being an extremely atmospheric and captivating read, Hess does an excellent job of telling it like it is with a good balance of the bitter and the sweet. Buy this book for yourself and all those who care about the welfare of animals- THIS BOOK WILL STAY IN YOUR HEART FOR YEARS TO COME, I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT!

Summary: Required reading for all current and wannabe pet owners
Comment: Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I'm among those who do know what kind of responsibility it takes to own a dog. I'm the happy 'Mom' of 2 terriers, one of which is a rescue dog. It is true about rescued animals - they know they've been given another chance and will give you their love many times over.
Elizabeth Hess was down to earth in showing the trials and successes an animal shelter goes through. If you know someone who's not sure about getting a pet, I highly suggest they read this book. It'll make them think twice. If you know someone with misconceptions that all shelter animals get homes, give them this book as a wakeup call! A pet can take up as much or more of your time than a human baby, but the human race has made dogs, cats and other animals disposeable. There are happy endings as well as sad in the book, but it's worth buying. As the kids would say, we give it a 2 paws up!

Summary: A very realistic view of an animal shelter
Comment: I've volunteered at the animal shelter in my town for a few years now, but have never had quite as much insight as this book provided. I get the feeling the shelter in the book has a smaller volunteer base than the shelter I have dealt with based on the details they were willing to share with her. This was a very uplifting book that explained a lot about why shelters work the way they do (ie rules about who can adopt, what happens when they get lost pets, etc.). Unfortunately, it is most likely to be read by the people that already understand these rules and why they exist.
