Share a "Tail"

Let's honor your wonderful adopted dogs and cats by featuring their stories in a book!

You can submit information for one of several sections in our books. Longer stories (600-1200 words, please!) will be considered for features. Shorter stories, preferably no more than a paragraph in length, will be considered for our "short break" sections. For this section you can tell us a funny or heartwarming anecdote about your dog or cat, or describe a challenge you had (medical or behavioral) and how you overcame it. We are also open to poems, recipes, and of course, great photos.

It is not necessary that your dog or cat came from a rescue group. The only stories we will not consider are those about dogs and cats who were bought from a breeder or pet store - the point of our books is to encourage rescue and adoption.

Both Purebred and Mixed-breed dogs and cats are welcome! We like to include some stories of mixed-breed dogs in our "Lost Souls: Found!" books - just let us know what your dog's dominant breed is. At this time our cat books are not organized by breed.

Have more than one adopted dog or cat? Tell us about them all!

The best stories are emotional. They make the reader laugh and/or cry. They generally begin with a problem (often the dog or cat is in a bad situation), involve some kind of rescue situation, there are some ups and downs including one main crux, and then the story is resolved and everyone lives happily ever after. This is NOT always the pattern, but most stories that are accepted for the books resemble this pattern to some extent.
