Book Reviews of One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter
Book Review: A Glass Window into What Happens in American Animal Shelters
Summary: 5 Stars
I served as the executive director of an animal shelter for seven years. Frequently the board of directors, the public, elected officials and the donors wanted a spin put on what happened at the shelter. They wanted stories with happy endings. Finally someone has had the courage to tell the entire truth. Some endings are happy, but many take place in the euthanasia room. Marilee Geyer and Diane Leigh have written an absolutely accurate book about why animals come into shelters and about what happens to then there. Their analysis of the attitudes and behaviors which result in pet overpopulation is brilliant. Every American must read this book about our relationship with our "best friends." We must know the entire truth if we are to change it.
