"A finely written, touching, and important book."
-- Karen Dawn, founder of the animal advocacy media watch DawnWatch.com
"Animal rescue had a defining moment after Hurricane Katrina. Widespread media coverage showing thousands of stranded animals helped to bring about the largest animal rescue effort in history and raised the public's awareness of the bond between the companion animal and his or her human family. Rescued serves as a reminder that saving animals' precious lives is not only noble but also a moral imperative."
-- Gretchen Wyler, vice president of the Humane Society of the United States (Hollywood Office) and retired executive producer of Genesis Awards
"This book offers vital, in-the-trenches information for saving animals' lives, gleaned from hundreds of animal rescue organizations, experts, and volunteers. Rescued inspires individuals, agencies, and the nation to take care of animals when disaster strikes and to make rescuing animals a vital part of healthy and enlightened communities. By relating powerful animal rescue and reunion stories from Hurricane Katrina, the Andersons remind us all to cherish the human-animal bond by preserving it. Read it and reap!"
-- Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on Good Morning America and the author of The Healing Power of Pets

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The inspiration for "Rescued" was the tragic situation with pets during the Katrina disaster - thousands refusing to leave without their pets, and many animals dying due to official indifference to these "disposable" creatures. Extensively trained in animal rescues, Allen and Linda Anderson interviewed hundreds of volunteers, hurricane survivors and government officials for this book. "Rescued" offers both hope and practical suggestions, as well as the latest information on official policy and how to help in future catastrophes. It goes beyond the recent tragedies to talk about the various rescue and sanctuary operations, what volunteers and staff do and how to help. "Rescued" puts attention on an unheralded world of animal shelters, organisations and brave individuals who made a difference during the largest animal disaster in American history.
