Description
Stories of rescue animals and the people who were saved by them
Sheltered explores the power of love between people and their adopted animals, and how those individual animals have changed and enriched people's lives.
There's Kaylee the kelpie cross who had been mistreated so badly she'd lost all trust in people before a family's love, patience, and devotion restored her faith in herself and humanity. Marvin, rescued from a violent home as a kitten, became an unlimited source of joy for his human family but amazingly also a carer and 'guard cat' for puppies and pregnant horses. Ollie, a timid staghound, transforms into an outgoing 'goofy pooch' who inspires his human rescuers to help other animals in need. And a pony, Creature, who becomes a hero for horse welfare and proves to his rescuer that happy endings happen, even against the odds.
These real-life, heartfelt stories showcase the deep bonds forged between rescue animals, whether they be dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, rabbits, or donkeys, and the people who give them a second chance. Uplifting and inspiring, Sheltered is for the animal lover in all of us.
PRAISE FOR SHELTERED
'This heartfelt book shows that companion animals, just like us, need a warm home. Melody Horrill has written inspiring stories of hope.' β Dr Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, UN Messenger of Peace
'A heartwarming and uplifting collection of stories about rescued animals β dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, rabbits or donkeys β and how they changed and enriched the lives of the humans who gave them a second chance. They will have you wondering who rescued who.' β Who Magazine
'This delightful book tells the stories of people's love for animals and how so many rescued individuals connect with their saviours. Both animals and their human companions find great love and peace and form very special relationships with one another. Read it and understand.' β Lady Primrose Potter AC, Patron of the Lost Dogsβ Home
'Each lifesaving story is an affirmation that when we give so freely of ourselves it is returned to us tenfold.' β Sue Hedley, Founder of Saving Animals From Euthanasia Inc
