Sinopsis

Part I of Rescue Matters! covers the legal, organizational, and paperwork needs of rescue groups, as well as finding and working with volunteers. Part II deals with the animals themselves: how to evaluate (health issues, personality assessment, type of home needed) foster homes and veterinary care, assessing potential adopters, training, and dealing with behavioral problems. The book offers something for everyone interested in saving homeless pets, from those wanting to help out a few hours a week to those willing to provide foster homes or volunteer their organizational, office, or publicity skills.

De la solapa interior

Rescue Matters! How to Find, Foster, and Rehome Companion Animals: A Guide for Volunteers and Organizers is a compassionate and comprehensive look at the issues that affect both pets in need and the people who work to save them. "Great changes in societies start small," writes Sheila Webster Boneham, Ph.D., in this comprehensive guide to saving and rehoming domestic animals," and while the rescue road is long and often dark and bumpy, we have covered considerable ground." This book offers an illuminated map for groups and/or individuals who want to learn how to start, run, fund and promote rescue. But it doesn't stop there. Drawing on the author's extensive experience as a rescuer, breeder, dog sport enthusiast, and owner of a variety of pets, the book offers helpful advice for anyone who wants to help homeless animals, be it a few hours a year, helping with a special event, or weekly hours of hands-on work with animals.
