Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"A really insightful book and a no-BS diary. A lot of diaries sugar coat everything and you put yourself out there for scrutiny in a very candid way. It lets any foster parent know that it is okay to not be perfect and that it is okay to have limits," and "the most honest account of the perils and pitfalls as well as the joy and fulfillment that rescue volunteers face daily." Scream Like Banshee is for animal advocates embroiled in the daily adventures of fostering and rehoming America's homeless dogs. Thayne mixes tips for those who need to step up to foster with tips for those who foster too much, adding a dash of laughter, a pinch of sadness, and a wallop of honesty, for a quick read you might not want to put down! Tamira Ci Thayne is founder and CEO of Dogs Deserve Better, an award-winning national nonprofit working on behalf of America's chained and penned dogs.

If you currently foster dogs, you need to read this book. If you love dogs but think you can't foster, you REALLY need to read this book.

A very original and needed book! There are few to no books that deal with the specific area of fostering rescue dogs. This book does just that. Pet foster care can be very rewarding and challenging. If you have ever considered helping needy animals by becoming a foster parent, get prepared first by reading this book. It's honest and real, by people experienced in the field.
