"This book is an essential resource for all who are
interested in this rapidly advancing field. I wore out my
copy of the first edition, and I expect to do the same with this
wonderfully updated book. This book belongs in the libraries
of all animal shelters as well as those of veterinarians,
veterinary technicians, and veterinary students who have an
interest in shelter medicine." (Journal of The
American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013)

"An excellent tool for the "real"
world." (Vet Nurses Today, 1 July 2013)

"The result is a fine guide to animal management, the
latest laws, and the newest veterinary practices in a shelter
environment: a 'must' for any veterinary reference
collection." (Midwest Book Review, 1 March
2013)
