One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter

 

 

Jeffrey Mousaieff Mason (When Elephants Weep, The Pig

Who Sang to the Moon) writes, " A book...utterly

dedicated to telling the truth about shelters which

turns out to be a deeper truth about how we, the

public, care or do not care, for dogs and cats.

Because it is written from the heart, it is an easy

book to read, even if it made me cry, like listening

to a sad but beautiful song. This book has the

potential to save millions of lives... " In honor of

Homeless Animal Day, a day of recognition begun in

Santa Cruz, and with a deep respect for the 10 million

animals who enter shelters each year, join Marilee

Geyer and Diane Leigh for a night of truth and

possibility. With compelling photos and moving

vignettes, One at a Time chronicles a week in an

animal shelter and reawakens our connection with the

animals that bring us joy - if only they could find

their way home. The night will begin with a brief but

utterly endearing Adoptable Dog Show!
