Sweet Senior Pups (True Tales of Rescue)

Photo-packed nonfiction series explores the stories and science behind animal sanctuaries. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Visit the Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland to meet three very special old dogs--Mino, Buffy, and Jack--who are ready and waiting to make new families very happy. Includes full-color photos, maps, and graphics.

At many animal shelters, older pets are often overlooked in favor of younger ones. But you'll find only dogs over the age of eight at the Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland. Mino, Jack, and Buffy are three dog roommates at SDSM, all in need of a new home. Each character's story is unique, but they all feature the "sanctuary steps" of rescue, recovery, and rehabilitation. Join Mino as he shares stories about Buffy, Jack, and the other dogs and humans at SDSM...and gets ready for his forever family. Other books in the True Tales of Rescue series include Welcome, Wombat, Raccoon Rescue, Anteater Adventure, Go, Goats!, and Tiger Time.

A portion of the author's proceeds benefit the Senior Dog Sanctuary of Maryland.
