- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Getting ready to adopt a dog from a shelter can be a joyful experience if you have a good plan and have everything ready for the new arrival at home. If you've never adopted a shelter dog, you'll find this book invaluable. It is written in an easy-to-read-and-understand style and is well organized so you can refer back to your favorite topics with ease. While I believe this book would be a good reference resource to have in a dog owners library, I believe it to be extremely valuable to the reader that has never brought home a shelter dog. With the adoption of a shelter dog, you'll have little to no information about it's past training, behaviors, and health issues. This book will guide you through the process of adopting a shelter dog.
