Summary
Details

Second-Hand Dogs showcases rescue dogs in the way they truly deserve. The majority of shelter dogs adjust to domestic life with love, patience, and occasionally a little additional work, to become very special companions.

Heartwarming stories by adopters with lovely photographs tell how they found their rescue, and how the dog settled into their new home. There is the occasional uphill struggle but the stories are about the fun and love the dogs have brought to their families. Meet

- Josie, who inadvertently became a hearing aid dog to her owner

- Little Max whose love helped his family in so many ways

- Tommy who shared his special brand of love as a therapy dog

- Young Freja with the googly eyes, who had to learn how to live her life from scratch

- The very special multi-dog families with their happy bands of rescues

Words of Wisdom, chapters advising on how to choose a dog, introducing him or her into their new home and life, socialising the animal with babies, children, and resident pets, and training advice make this book an informative and enjoyable read about how rescue dogs can bring their special brand of love to homes, changing lives for the better.
