Rethinking Rescue

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the interconnectedness of animal and human suffering, Lori Weise, known as the Dog Lady, has dedicated her life to supporting underserved communities in Los Angeles. She established a new rescue narrative that empowers pet owners and reduces shelter intakes. The book intertwines Weise's journey with the broader U.S. rescue movement, exploring themes of social justice and the challenges faced by a predominantly white movement that often overlooks impoverished pet owners. Through compelling storytelling and investigative reporting, it highlights a transformative approach to animal welfare.
