Poking a sleeping tiger with a stick is not always a wise thing to do, but that act, along with rescuing animals from abusive or neglectful owners, is what this book is about. A house full of rabbits running loose, wolves sloshing around in flooded cages at a so-called sanctuary, and people with odd and unusual pets are all stories that the author has encountered during his more than thirty-year career as an SPCA inspector. Who knows what animals their neighbor is keeping in their house, garage, or garden shed? Perhaps a six-foot long boa constrictor is loose in the crawl space, an adult cougar is tearing up the sofa, or the house is full of Pomeranians These are the animals that make up some of the fascinating stories shared in this book by a man who has spent a lifetime working with and on behalf of all animals.
In this book, I will share first-hand experiences we have had with cat-and dog-rescue. I will tell you about two community groups we have worked with and a little of how they operate. You will get some information about poisons, plants, first aid, disaster planning and a few recipes added for those that have time to cook for their pets. A list of websites and phone numbers are included, as well, to help you when you need it the most.
