Please Help Our Humane Education Efforts by Handing Out Bookmarks

The best way to change people's hearts and minds is to give them a good reason to see things differently. We've heard many reports of people not only adopting after reading the wonderful stories in our books, but some have even volunteered with a rescue or given their time and talents in other ways to make this world a better place for our furry friends.

One way you can help is by handing out our bookmarks and encouraging people to visit our website. We've go plenty of free "stuff" on here - like the Mill Dog Manfiesto and previews of all our books - and if they pick up a book, money from the sale goes back to support rescue. It's a win-win all the way around.

So go ahead, order some bookmarks! All we ask is for help covering the cost of shipping and printing (no additional charges will be added to the prices you see below - they include shipping).

Dog Blessed

Praise for Dog Blessed: “WARNING: if you are a true pet lover, you can’t help shedding tears of joy or tears of sorrow, or repressing a smile or a big laugh when you read the stories in Dog Blessed: Puppy Mill Survivor Stories.

Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspiring Stories About Beagles

Excerpt: My mother-in-law lives next door, and while my husband and I were out running errands, she heard a commotion coming from our home office. One by one, our Beagles were jumping out of our home office window like paratroopers! Now, you have to picture a 73-year-old woman trying to convince seven mostly self-absorbed Beagles to come back into the house after just a few minutes of unbridled freedom. She managed to wrangle two or three of the more compliant hounds and get them back inside before my husband returned home and rounded up the rest. Lesson learned. Thanks to our Beagle gates (not just for babies anymore!), our dogs have been safely secured ever since. -Paula Roy

Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspiring Stories About Great Danes

Excerpt: When we first brought Bella home from the rescue, our 10-year-old English bulldog, Tonka, did not appreciate her enthusiasm to become instant best buddies. Bella’s quieter approach the second time we introduced them went well, and though Tonka remained the boss, they reached an agreement. Tonka quickly learned that Bella had many talents; for example, she could shield him from the rain when he used the bathroom. His strategy was to wait until Bella did her business and then quickly run down the stairs and stand under her to pee. “Bella Umbrella” tolerantly waited, checking between her front legs to make sure she was covering him completely. She’s his perfect “big” little sister. Debbie, Scott, Kaitlyn, and Ben McIntyre

Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspiring Stories About Pugs

Excerpt: After foster Fanny busted through the kitchen baby gate, I found her upstairs in the bedroom with a shredded a box of tissues littering the rug. I was furious and determined to kick her out for this and previous antics, but the rescue politely asked me to hold her one more day, as they thought they had a family for her. Upstairs as I cleaned the mess, I realized it wasn’t actually tissues at all. Fanny had peed on the rug and tried to dig to China to cover it. What I thought were tissues were actually white shreds of carpeting that were dug up from the bottom of my purple rug! Although I was really ticked, I must admit the ridiculousness of it all made me laugh. Knowing her imminent return to the rescue approached, Fanny started her "please don't give me back, I love you," routine by approaching me and putting her head on my shoulder. My heart melted and I decided to let her stay…forever. -Rose Van Der Velden

Lost Souls: FOUND! Inspiring Stories About Chihuahuas

Excerpt: Sandy suffered badly from seizures and was concerned about collapsing alone at home or being embarrassed by one in public. She discovered that while her husband, Bud, couldn’t be with her all the time, a seizure alert dog could. Only a handful of dogs have the ability to alert their guardians when a seizure is coming, and it turned out that five-year-old Ben, who was about to be euthanized for outstaying his welcome at a shelter, did. Since adopting Ben, Sandy is more confident about going outside and being at home by herself because she knows he’ll tell her when a seizure is coming. Ben went from almost losing his life as an “expiring” pound puppy to giving a woman a whole new “leash” on life. What a dog! -Barb Rabe and Debra J. White
