Book excerpt: A fascinating look at rescue dogs--where they come from, why every dog lover should consider adopting one, and how to make them part of your family. America's leading undercover animal investigator, Pete Paxton, has, among other exploits, infiltrated more than seven hundred puppy mills, worked undercover to close one of the largest and most infamous puppy mills in the United States, and shuttered the most notorious trafficker of dogs for experimentation in history. In this book, he shares stories of the amazing dogs he has rescued and brought to loving families, and also offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone living with rescue dogs. Far too many people think rescue dogs have irredeemable anxieties, behavior issues, or other problems. In truth, rescue dogs can--and do--become wonderful companions. This groundbreaking book will help readers understand these dogs' unique ways of thinking, learning, and loving, and leaves no questions unanswered about the plight of dogs commercially bred in the United States--and what every dog lover can do about it.

Book excerpt: In what promises to become an "Omnivore's Dilemma" for dog lovers—breed devotees and adoption advocates alike—The Dog Merchants is the first book to explain the complex and often surprisingly similar business practices that extend from the American Kennel Club to local shelters, from Westminster champions to dog auctions.Without judging dog lovers of any stripe, The Dog Merchants makes it clear that money spent among these dog merchants has real-world effects on people and canines. Kavin reveals how dog merchants create markets for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed light on an industry that most people don't even realize is an industry.Kavin’s goal is to advance the conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal can be improved by understanding the business practices behind selling dogs of all kinds. Instead of pitting rescue and purebred people against each other, The Dog Merchants shows how all dog lovers can come together, with one voice as consumers, on behalf of all our beloved companions.

Download or read book The Doggie in the Window written by Rory Kress and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brilliant and unflinching." —Peter Zheutlin, New York Times bestselling author of Rescue Road and Rescued When journalist Rory Kress met Izzie, she didn't think twice about bringing her home. She found the twelve-week-old wheaten terrier in a pet shop and was handed paperwork showing Izzie had been born in a USDA-licensed breeding facility—so she couldn't be a puppy mill dog, right? But a few years later, as Rory embarked on her own difficult journey to become a mother, her curiosity began to tug at her. Sure, Izzie was her fur baby, but who was her dog's real mother, and where was she now? And where did Izzie pick up her strange personality quirks? Like so many people, Rory had assumed the young puppy was a clean slate when she bought her. Those questions led Rory—with Izzie by her side—on a nationwide investigation, the first of its kind. From a dog livestock auction to the laboratory of one of the world's leading animal behavioral scientists all the way up to the highest echelons of the USDA, they sought answers about who we're trusting to be the watchdogs for our pet dogs. The Doggie in the Window is a story of hope and redemption. It upends the notion that purchased dogs are a safer bet than rescues, examines how internet puppy sales allow customers to get even farther from the truth of dog breeding, and offers fresh insights into one of the oldest bonds known to humanity. With Izzie's help, we learn the real story behind the dog in the window—and how she got there in the first place. "Seldom have I been as moved and as educated by a book about dogs." —Clive D. L. Wynne, PhD, Director of Canine Science Collaboratory at Arizona State University

Download or read book My Old Dog written by Laura T. Coffey and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. You’ll meet endearing elders like Marnie, the irresistible shih tzu who has posed for selfies with Tina Fey, James Franco, and Betty White; Remy, a soulful nine-year-old dog adopted by elderly nuns; George Clooney’s cocker spaniel, Einstein; and Bretagne, the last known surviving search dog from Ground Zero. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A puppy mill is often a dirty, ill-maintained factory for producing ill bred and diseased puppies. As much as America claims it has a love affair with dogs, puppy mills are still tolerated. The mothers are kept in cages with no access to veterinarian care and no exercise. Their dietary needs are minimally met and only sufficient for them to whelp another litter. These inhumane conditions should not be tolerated. Reputable breeders and shelters for unwanted pets can easily provide enough dogs to meet demands. This book explains puppy mills to children while touching on service dogs for those who need them.

A memoir detailing the horror of Amish puppy-mill auctions and the truth behind the puppies in the pet store windows. Bark Until Heard teaches readers the importance of finding their passion and fighting for their cause. Living quietly in suburbia, writing for an international animal-welfare organization, I suddenly found myself on assignment in a dark Amish barn at a puppy-mill auction, looking into the eyes of a dirty, scared Chinese crested powder puff. In front of me wasn't just one dog needing rescue from a miserable life of constant breeding - there were hundreds. In that horrific moment, face-to-face with animal cruelty, I found complete clarity. With tears streaming down my face, I felt my soul open up. In the days and years that followed, I found my voice and the courage to passionately fight for thousands of silenced dogs force to live a life of neglect. A journey that taught me the importance of being true to a cause and of never giving up. **The author will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to groups that rescue puppy-mill dogs and organizations that improve the lives of breeding dogs.
Download or read book The Puppy Mill written by June Debassige and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characters and events in this book are fictional. The individuals, both human and animal, came to life after a turbulent night in dreamland from which I awoke compelled to put pen to paper. The events penned in this story are fiction; however, the focus of the book is based on fact. Puppy mills, puppy barns and animal abuse happen. I cannot condone nor will I apologize for the illicit actions of my fictional characters; however, I can offer this advice: take the decision to purchase a family pet seriously, do your homework and buy from a reputable breeder. If you are not looking for a pure-bred, look at adopting a rescue, and chances are you will find your perfect match. Newman, the dog on the cover, is real, the non-fiction in a fiction novel. I chose him from the many shelter and abused dogs I have encountered. Newman is one of the lucky ones-he had a real-life champion on his side, and I thank each of you sincerely for that. The reason I chose Newman was simple: his expression, which at first glance you may think it is comical, but there is nothing funny about Newman. That look is terror, a reaction he had when anyone came close to his space. Maybe he anticipated another beating? Newman was rescued by a woman in Florida who used her own time and money to save animals from abuse. She never refused an animal in distress. Kudos to KB.
