The Adoption Option : Choosing and Raising the Shelter
Dog for You by Eliza Rubenstein, Shari Kalina Every year there are ten million dogs in shelters across the U. S. Of these, about three million (25%) get adopted. For many dog lovers, shelters are an ideal place to find a pet: they are saving a life, spending less money, and getting lots of dogs to choose from. The Adoption Option explores every stage of adopting a dog, from deciding if a shelter dog is right for you, to tips for starting life together on the right paw. Specific chapters help readers decide how to assess what kind of dog will suit them best and how to make certain that the shelter is a reputable one. Invaluable information regarding what to expect from a dog with a new life "on the outside' and stories of successful adoptions punctuate the text, and make it clear that, with a little wise advice, a shelter dog will become your best friend.

Shelter Dogs : Amazing Stories of Adopted Strays by Peg Kehret, Greg Farrar Animal lovers will enjoy these eight short stories about shelter dogs going on to do great things. Among the dogs featured are Tracker, who was adopted by an animal trainer and has starred in TV commercials and movies; Ivan, who was trained by a hearing-impaired woman and ended up saving the lives of both the woman and her daughter when the fire alarm sounded; and amazing Bridgett, who can predict an epileptic seizure up to 20 minutes before it actually happens. A black-and-white photo of the dog and its owner begins each story, and a short section on a related topic (such as fire prevention) ends the segment. Kids will find the heroics appealing, but the book's greatest achievement may be its potential for increasing adoptions from shelters.
