Breed Rescue

ByA customeron May 27, 2000

Format: Paperback

After being involved with Breed Rescue for close to a year, I then found this book on breed rescue. It is well organized, succinct and, in my opinion, complete. There is so much to consider with rescue that it is easy to get lost in the activities. I am now recommending the book to others who want to become involved. To be well informed and have each person in rescue with a sense of the same goal and way of doing things helps enormously. Many thanks to the author who took the time to put together such a wonderful reference. I still refer to it from time to time.

A great resource

ByKay M. Marks, Northeast Regional Coordinator, Aussie Rescue & Placement Helpline, Inc. (ARPH)on January 2, 2000

Format: Paperback

Sheila has covered everything about rescue from the ground up in clearly written, easy to understand language. Even after having been involved in rescue for almost 6 years, there were new ideas in it for me.
This book is a "must read" for anyone who is thinking about starting a purebred rescue program. I believe that it would also benefit any rescue volunteer who reads it, from seasoned veteran to brand new recruit.

Covers every aspect including getting organized

ByMidwest Book Reviewon July 5, 2001

Format: Paperback

Sheila Boneham's Breed Rescue: How To Start And Run A Successful Program is a complete and thoroughly "user friendly" guide to launching and operating a dog breed rescue. Boneham covers every aspect including getting organized; finding, training and managing volunteers; acquiring financial and community support; networking with other animal shelters and rescue groups; finding the dogs; screening dogs for medical problems; determining a dog's temperament and behavior; placing rescued dogs; and promoting/publicizing the dog rescue program. Breed Rescue also provides lists of contact names and addresses, as well as extensive collection of pertinent sample documents. If you see a need for rescuing dogs in your community but no current resources for addressing the problem, then begin with a careful reading of Sheila Boneham's Breed Rescue!

The best possible guide to starting a rescue program.

ByA customeron November 1, 1999

Format: Paperback

Breed Rescue is an excellent source for anyone wishing to start a rescue or even small rescues looking for ideas. Early chapters tell you how to get organized, where to find volunteers, and how to get and manage funds. Then you learn where to find the dogs, how to handle health screening, use foster care, and adopt the dogs to the correct homes. Also covered are how to get and use publicity and to take advantage of all the Internet has to offer. Sample forms are included, and sprinkled throughout are pictures of rescued dogs.
So to all of you out there who really think you could set up and run a rescue program, I urge you to start with Sheila Boneham's book. It is the best possible guide I have found.

Everything you need to know

ByLindaon May 4, 2008

Format: Paperback

This clear, concise, well-written book covers everything you need to know about running a rescue program, from initial organization to volunteer training and management to networking to finding financial support to legal issues to the intake, fostering, and adoption processes. Boneham provides advice on presenting your group to the public and on generating press releases as well. Included are several sample forms and formats. While the book focuses on breed rescue, the information is equally useful for all-breed rescues. Strongly recommended not just for those starting a rescue group, but for those working with already established groups.

This Book Will Save the Lives of Many Dogs

ByK. Davison November 1, 2002

Format: Paperback

A sincere desire to do the right thing, combined with knowledge and skill in dog care, are not enough to enable people to successfully run the nonprofit business of a dog rescue organization. In this book, Boneham leads people through the necessary decisions and policies. Her advice will help rescuers avoid myriad pitfalls that stop so many from continuing in rescue.
Boneham sets high standards for rescue, and explains the reasons for each criteria. Volunteers working within these rules will have a greatly increased chance of remaining in the work long-term, and people adopting dogs from rescues run by these principles will have good experiences. Most of all, the lives of dogs will be saved, and that's what makes it all worthwhile.
