Drawing upon her experience with Greyhound Friends For Life and Companion Animal Rescue Effort (CARE), as well as the Greyhound Protection Alliance, Marie K. Whelan's Rescue Rover! 101 Ways You Can Help Abandoned Dogs is a humanitarian book, offering a wide variety of easy, simple, and useful ways to help unfortunate and abandoned dogs. From shopping for cruelty-free products to donating 30 minutes of one's time at the animal shelter, Rescue Rover! covers simple changes and tasks that anyone can perform to make the world a better place for our canine friends. A highly recommended, "user friendly" resource, Rescue Rover! also lists contact information for a great many canine clubs in states all across the U.S. and is also available in hardcover...

I purchased this book as a gift for my mother who wants to "dedicate her life to animals." This book is a good place to start if you really are interested in helping animals, particularly dogs and cats that end up at animal shelters. It provides alot of practical ideas that require only a small amount of effort on your part but will yield many benefits for these animals. Some of the ideas presented seemed rather obvious (such as spaying and neutering your own pet) but the author also provides other interesting ideas that people may not think of themselves.

The book had some very good suggestions on how to help out the furry four legged friends that so many families have. It had some useful websites, and suggestions that are very simple to overlook. An example, donating bath towels, blankets, and other household items to shelters. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for some, easy ways for both adults and children to make a difference is a dog's life!

I was expecting more from this book. It gives you a lot of little ways you can help, but nothing in the broad spectrum. I would recommend this book for 10 to 16 year olds, but not adults.
