The inspiration for "Rescued" was the tragic situation with pets during the Katrina disaster - thousands refusing to leave without their pets, and many animals dying due to official indifference to these "disposable" creatures. Extensively trained in animal rescues, Allen and Linda Anderson interviewed hundreds of volunteers, hurricane survivors and government officials for this book. "Rescued" offers both hope and practical suggestions, as well as the latest information on official policy and how to help in future catastrophes. It goes beyond the recent tragedies to talk about the various rescue and sanctuary operations, what volunteers and staff do and how to help. "Rescued" puts attention on an unheralded world of animal shelters, organisations and brave individuals who made a difference during the largest animal disaster in American history.
