About the Expert
Just like the people I wrote this book for, my husband and I started our pet rescue efforts on a very small scale. We responded to a craigslist ad by a local rescue organization that was trying to rehome an abandoned dog. We contacted the administrator and adopted the dog. As we spoke, she gave us some back-ground on her charity and explained how many dogs and cats are abandoned and homeless, and end up being euthanized at the local shelter.
Through her and social media, we became more and more interested in doing our part, and basically went through the same steps I have outlined in this book. You can visit us on Facebook at PlanetNub (Nubbins was our beloved rescue cat who died at only two years of age of a severe seizure disorder). I would love to hear from you and hope you find the information in this book helpful. Thanks so much for reading it!
