This book shares information about Dogtown at Best Friends Sanctuary. It is an uplifting book that shows what
people are doing to help dogs with behavior problems, health issues to become whole and hopefully find a
forever home. With all the news about the abuse of animals, it is encouraging to read about people working
to be the solution. While we cannot all start a program as expansive at Dogtown, we can at least support
such facilities so they can continue to rescue dogs that people have abused or abandoned.Dogtown: A Sanctuary for Rescued Dogs

For a species dubbed Man's best friend, canines are sadly horribly abused by their so-called friends. "Dogtown: A Sanctuary for Rescued Dogs" is the story of the country's biggest no kill animal sanctuary. The sanctuary focuses on keeping animals in loving homes and off the streets and away from cruel masters. An uplifting tale that dog lovers will relish, "Dogtown" is enhanced with more than eighty full color photos, earning it an enthusiastic recommendation.

This book has wonderful photos of rescued dogs and heart warming stories of dog rescues. I really appreciate the hard work of Best Friends Animal Society and all the awareness they bring to the needs of homeless animals.

i bought this book because i am huge supporter and lover of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary... this book is a beautiful collection of pictures and stories about the dogs at the sanctuary, some of which i even got to meet!! i would recommend this for ALL dog lovers, and anyone interested in rescue. this place is BEYOND special... definitely buy this book

All the things in it that best friends does, but just not long enough . Left me hungry for more.

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is a "10" and any reading material having to do with what the Sanctuary does gets an automatic 5-Stars! A wonderful book about rescued canines. Among the "tears" are some very happy endings that are really beginnings for these dogs that are unwanted and abused.

Lots of great photos and stories of dogs who were given a second chance for a happy life by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The work they do to rescue, rehabilitate and literally save dogs is incredible. If you like dog stories with happy endings, this is one book that will give you what you're looking for!

I got this book for a co-worker who is an animal lover and it was a hit. Nice color pictures, a nice story about the rescue of these dogs and the price made for a quality gift for around $10. I recommend it to anyone who loves animals and I also bought the cat book- The Cats of Kittyville for some cat lovers I know. Both make great gifts.

This is a heartwarming, uplifting book about a sanctuary for dogs in Kanab, Utah. Dogtown workers go out on nationwide runs to rescue abandoned and abused dogs; dogs from closed puppy mills and dogs from disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.

The efforts of these humane and dedicated workers have stretched worldwide. In 2006, Dogtown workers airlifted many dogs from Lebanon who had been left to fend for themselves after a war had broken out.

This humane and compassionate facility for dogs will certainly touch all hearts. Older animals who are less likely to be adopted are housed in a separate area for senior pets; nationwide adoptions are held and workers continue their tireless efforts to save and in some cases rehabilitate dogs with special needs.

Hats off to Dogtown!

The stories about the dogs are very uplifting. The photos are simply beautiful. I really liked how the author included the blueprints for the kennels. Bob Summerville's work here is really well thought out. I know this book is an inspiration to dog owners & people who want to adopt dogs.
