"NEW LIVES", a new book by Joanne Wannan, stories of rescued dogs from shelters and the streets

Joanne Wannan has written a book of stories about 18 dogs rescued from shelters and the streets who go on to work miracles in animal therapy and as sevice dogs.  Her book has been endorsed by the ASPCA and the Humane Society with the forward written by Dr. Marty Becker author of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul.  You can read an exerpt at her blog http://www.inspiringrescuestories.com/.
In a recent email to us Joanne writes "While writing this book, my eyes were opened to how many truly amazing animal shelters and organizations are making a difference.  I also discovered the negative affects ths slow global economy has caused for these groups.  The animal shelters/organizations who are hurting the most aren't tho large nationsl groups.  Its the small local shelters and organizations that are really struggling right now."

As a result, she is donating a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the book to shelters.  There is also a contest where people can tell their shelter stories and win valuable prizes.  2 lucky winners will each have 15% of the profits from the sale of New Lives donated to the shelter of their choice.
