DOGGEREL - The Moving Memoirs of Rescue Dogs and Their Second Lives, in Poetry and Prose

Product Description

Author - Angela Patmore - Publisher - Spring Hill

Foreword by Joanna Lumley. Often rescue dogs have been thrown out by owners who could no longer afford them, found them inconvenient or naughty, or simply could not be bothered with them any more. Many have just seven miserable days behind bars before they are put to permanent sleep by council-appointed agencies. Unwanted dogs are desperate. They yelp and whine and cry out for someone to love and save them. The lucky fifty who appear in this book have emerged triumphant and wagging, often against apparently insurmountable odds, to make their new owners very happy.

The rescue charities are at crisis point. They need people to come forward and give these dogs a chance. Rescuing a dog can change not only the dog's life but yours, and this book explains how. It also tells you everything you need to know about finding the right dog at a shelter near you, and getting him or her used to you and your home. DOGGEREL is being sold in aid of the Association of Dogs' and Cats' Homes, which embraces many of the UK's animal charities large and small. Right now they need your help.
