A fascinating look at rescue dogs--where they come from, why every dog lover should consider adopting one, and how to make them part of your family.

America's leading undercover animal investigator, Pete Paxton, has, among other exploits, infiltrated more than seven hundred puppy mills, worked undercover to close one of the largest and most infamous puppy mills in the United States, and shuttered the most notorious trafficker of dogs for experimentation in history. In this book, he shares stories of the amazing dogs he has rescued and brought to loving families, and also offers invaluable guidance and wisdom for anyone living with rescue dogs.

Far too many people think rescue dogs have irredeemable anxieties, behavior issues, or other problems. In truth, rescue dogs can--and do--become wonderful companions. This groundbreaking book will help readers understand these dogs' unique ways of thinking, learning, and loving, and leaves no questions unanswered about the plight of dogs commercially bred in the United States--and what every dog lover can do about it.

Recensione

"What is a rescue dog? And who does the rescuing? Pete Paxton and Gene Stone's book explains it all through moving stories of dogs and their people, the work done by animal organizations both large and small, and how each of us can play a part. Rescue Dogs is the perfect primer for anyone interested in the work of rehoming pets and the joy brought by dogs who help us define what it means to have a home."
—Ken Foster, bestselling author of The Dogs Who Found Me

“Thanks to undercover investigators like Pete, many more people now understand that despite the deceptive advertising in stores and on websites, puppies sold in pet stores and online usually come from puppy mills, where dogs are raised in miserable conditions solely to churn out puppies for an unsuspecting public. Pete’s tips on how to adopt a rescue dog and his advice for budding advocates will help inspire dog lovers to become part of the change until no more puppies are sold in pet stores and no more homeless dogs go without a family."
—Kathleen Summers, director of outreach and research for the Humane Society of the United States’ puppy mill campaign

“I don’t know the last time I’ve read a book as important as this one—you will leave this wonderfully well-written, totally engaging book with a powerful understanding about the way dogs are treated in this country—and what you can do it about it. Highly recommended!”
—Kathy Freston, New York Times–bestselling author and wellness activist

“What an extraordinary and important book this is—it’s gripping and heartwarming, informative and entertaining. And, I suspect it’s impossible to read without wanting to go out and rescue a dog—or two!”
—Gene Baur, president and cofounder of Farm Sanctuary

“Before you get a dog, buy this fascinating, beautifully written book that’s both an adventure story and a how-to. Once you’ve read it, you will probably want to go right out and rescue a dog—and two lives will be forever changed.”                                                                                                                                        —David Coman-Hidy, president, The Humane League

“Pete Paxton is an American hero: He has done more good work for dogs than anyone could possibly imagine. Inside this book are the extraordinary tales of his gripping adventures in the underbelly of the canine world, and then sound advice on what to do once you decide that you need to bring a rescue dog home. If you love dogs, you will absolutely love this book.”
—Rip Esselstyn, founder of Engine 2 and host of the Plant-Strong podcast

“Rescue Dogs is a must-read for any dog lover. Stories of truth, heartbreak, and triumph are detailed in a way that reflects the puppy mill and breeding industry, educating people who may not know the realities of these places otherwise. Rescue Dogs gives the average dog lover true insight into the realities that some dogs face and animal welfare workers learn.
—Katera Berent, Communications and Events Manager, Austin Pets Alive

“Rescue Dogs gives voice to the thousands of animals waiting in shelters across the country for adoption, and the thousands more who suffer and die to supply pet stores. Yet for all he has witnessed, Pete Paxton never loses empathy for the people who have failed these animals. This may be the biggest contributor to his success as an investigator and an advocate.”
—Scott Howe, Executive Director and CEO, Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons

"This is the book that all readers should buy, study, and give away so that everyone in the world finally understands why they should adopt, not purchase, a dog."
—Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder and president of PETA --Questo testo si riferisce alla hardcover edizione.

Pete Paxton - An Animal Welfare Superhero

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 luglio 2020

Acquisto verificato

I meet some of the most amazing people thanks to my animal welfare advocacy. Most are just normal people like you and me who are on a mission related to animals, using their superpowers for the good of us all. I’ve only met a handful of these folks in person, but thanks to the inter-connectivity of our world provided by video conferencing and email, I still feel as though I know them. And I am proud to say I do.

I first learned about “Pete Paxton” last fall when I learned about this book (co-written with Gene Stone). Pete’s name is in quotes because he’s an undercover investigator who has done incredible work for the Companion Animal Protection Society. I encourage you to visit the CAPS website to help further your education). Pete has been to over 700 puppy mills, hundreds of pet stores, and has worked undercover at some of the biggest mills in the United States. Rescue Dogs aimed at exposing mills and explaining how the public can help fight them by adopting dogs. The book also explains finding a good shelter or foster group, dog training tips, how to rescue stray/abuse dogs, and busts myths about shelter dogs being “broken” in some way.

I have long railed against the commercial dog breeding industry and have long supported rescue and advocacy groups which help dogs saved from mills and which educate the public toward bringing an end to the industry. I’ve worked on local laws which keep national pet supply chains from setting up shop in communities and importing sick dogs from puppy mills which can, in turn, make people sick. I’ve fought state legislation which would allow pet supply chains to grow roots in my state and further erode the humane treatment of dogs in a culture lost in time compared to the values regarding dogs in the rest of the country. When I heard about Pete’s book and his undercover work in the mills themselves, I just had to read it.

The first part of Rescue Dogs was a hard read for me, but not in a bad way. As you would imagine, there is something quite criminal (and, I would argue, nefarious) about the way many people in our society treat dogs for their financial gain. It is heartbreaking, infuriating and mind-boggling. And I say that as a person who has never walked a path remotely close to the one walked by Pete. I cannot possibly imagine the mental and emotional toll taken on people who take on fake identities and put themselves in the bowels of hell in order to take down the very people whose behavior we find abhorrent. I am confident that we cannot possibly understand what Pete and others like him have endured for the sake of dogs and for the sake of all of us. Could you pretend to be someone you are not and work in a place where dogs are abused, neglected or killed on a regular basis all for the sake of money to collect evidence? I know I could not. Which is why I consider Pete one of my animal superheroes.

The second part of the book was incredibly informative. I think that most people in the shelter and rescue world assume the public knows all about rescue dogs, where they come from, how wonderful they are and why adopting a rescue dog is such a compelling choice. Many people just do not know, even if we think they should. Thanks to Pete’s book, now they can. He goes into great depth about where many of these dogs come from, how they think and how to make them members of our families – as opposed to buying dogs from the million dollar industry which has no regard for their well-being, viewing them not as sentient creatures but as things.

I encourage everyone who cares about dogs or who wants to learn where they come from to read this book. It is time well spent and may very well change your world view on some issues which may change some of your own behavior. We can make our society one that doesn’t just cheer for the underdog, but saves them.

Adopt don’t Shop!

There was a chapter of CAPS in the south suburbs of Chicago. I am proud to say I stood by many devoted, compassionate humans outside retailers that sold puppies from these mills. Our mission was to inform prospective customers of the source of these puppies. My state of Illinois, has finally adopted ordinances to stop these retailers from purchasing and selling mill puppies!
This wonderful, informative book is full of factual stories of some of the rescued victims of this horrific industry. Your purchase helps fund the continuing fight to end puppy mills.
