Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

An avid reader, Liz began writing in early childhood although those efforts were probably unreadable. She has since written more than 80 books. Most are nonfiction books about dogs and other pets. A number of her books, including "Puppy Love" and "The Howell Book of Dogs" have won awards for excellence.

Recently Liz began writing contemporary romance and has found her calling. As a long time reader of the genre, she enjoys writing the stories her characters tell her. Her friends know to be careful because anything - anything - can end up in a novel.

A former Marine and a Marine Corps widow, she is now living in Kansas on a small farm. She lives with three English Shepherd dogs, fosters orphaned kittens, and gardens when she's not writing. Her three goats are a never ending source of amusement.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of What to Expect with Dog Rescue/Adoption
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is a good book for anyone interested in adopting or rescuing a dog, especially an adult dog. This book presents you with the pros & cons, how to choose wisely, how to find a good rescue, and what to do after you bring the dog home. If you've never adopted before, I recommend reading this book to prepare for the ups & downs and avoid some of the potential negatives. If you had dogs, but they were not rescue or shelter dogs, I recommend reading as well to get an idea on how adopting/rescuing is different than buying a dog from a breeder.

This book was used to help with a dog that was dumped alongside the road near our home. We love it and this book has been a great help.

I enjoyed reading this book. It helped me to understand my English Springer Spaniel a little better. I got a lot of useful information about training my little guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on adopting a rescue dog!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2008
I've read several different books lately on adopting a rescue dog, and this is by far the best one. It thoroughly addresses all the issues surrounding this subject -- how to choose the right dog and the right rescue group for you, going through the sometimes-complicated adoption process, handling behavioral problems that can arise when a dog has come from a difficult prior living situation -- and gives specific, useful advice about everything it discusses. The author obviously knows a lot about this subject and she shares her knowledge in an engaging and very helpful way. Great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A helpful book for every dog owner
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 1998
My fiance and I recently adopted a rescued Cairn Terrier with no advance notice. Like many rescue dogs, he had some emotional baggage which expressed itself in bad behavior; we knew we'd have to turn him around if he was going to stay. "Save That Dog" gave concrete tips on how to deal with dog behavior problems that affect many dogs, not just rescued dogs. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering adopting a rescue dog and dog owners in general.
