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
