Rescued: Saving Animals from Disaster: Life-Changing Stories &
Practical Suggestions
by: Anderson, Allen & Anderson, Linda C.
The inspiration for Rescued was the tragic situation with pets during
the Katrina disaster — thousands refusing to leave without their
pets, and many animals dying due to official indifference to these "disposable"
creatures. Extensively trained in animal rescues, Allen and Linda Anderson
interviewed hundreds of volunteers, hurricane survivors, and government
officials for this book. Rescued offers both hope and practical suggestions,
as well as the latest information on official policy and how to help in
future catastrophes. It goes beyond the recent tragedies to talk about
the various rescue and sanctuary operations, what volunteers and staff
do, and how to help. Using a dramatic structure and photos, the book presents
the before, during, and after journeys of people separated from their
animals. Rescued puts attention on an unheralded world of animal shelters,
organizations, and brave individuals who made a difference during the
largest animal disaster in American history. Color & B/W photos. 347
pgs.

Wildlife Search & Rescue: A Guide for
First Responders
by: Dmytryk, Rebecca
Rescuing wild animals in distress requires a unique set of skills, very
different from those used in handling domestic animals. The equipment, degree
of handling, the type of caging and level of care a wild animal receives
can mean the difference between life and death. "Wildlife Search and
Rescue" is a comprehensive guide on 'best practices' and suggested
standards for response to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. This valuable
resource covers the fundamentals of wildlife rescue, from 'phone to field',
including safe and successful capture strategies, handling and restraint
techniques and initial aid. "Wildlife Search and Rescue" is a
must have for anyone interested in knowing what to do when they are face
to face with a wild animal in need, or for anyone involved in animal rescue.
While the book focuses on wildlife native to North America, much of the
information and many of the techniques are applicable to other species,
including domestic dogs and cats. B/W photos. 228 pgs.
