Adoption Books

Describes the care, training, and rehabilitation of previously owned or formerly homeless dogs, focusing on their special problems and needs.

Synopsis:
Buying a shelter dog can save a fine animal from destruction, while bringing a good new friend and pet into the household. This three-part book describes the dog shelter scene, offers advice on choosing the right dog from a shelter, and gives detailed instructions on dog training, health care, and how to provide a good home environment for the new pet. Full-color photos & illus.

This book is the first of its kind to begin where the adoption process itself actually starts. The Adoption Option tells you how to be sure that this option is the right one for you, and then goes on to help you figure out what kind of dog will suit you best and how to make sure you're using a reputable shelter. Obviously, these issues are just the beginning of your life with your new dog, so the book provides especially helpful information on what to expect from a dog with a new life "on the outside." As a compilation of invaluable information and adoption success stories, this book is a wonderful resource for the conscientious new pet owner.
