"A heartwarming and absorbing account of matching a human and a canine."- Kirkus Indies

A memoir of second chances, healing, and how rescuing a dog rescued me Having never had a dog of his own before, Don was not prepared for what it meant to adopt one of the most behaviorally difficult rescues in the shelter. But something about Barbie, a mutt that everyone had given up on and so fearful and unresponsive that she was within days of being put down, convinced Don to open his home and his heart for the first time to a canine companion, changing both of their lives forever.

Interspersed with Don’s most poignant memories of volunteering at his local animal shelter, The Mutt for Me follows the many misadventures of Don and Barbie on their mutual journey of growth and healing. You’ll see Barbie transform from the terrified, despondent recluse to the lively and almost always well-behaved dog she is today.

As the first-time dog dad of a pup in need of significant behavioral development, Don shows that with enough love, patience, and dedication, anyone can provide a home to a rescue animal. The Mutt for Me is a heartwarming story about how our pets have the capacity to transform and heal us as much as we can do the same for them.

Rescue A Dog

This is a wonderfully written book that’s fun & entertaining even in the troubles. There’s difficult times to navigate for both man & dog. It’s a massive learning curve for Don & Barbie. I’ve rescued dogs on two continents & it’s very rewarding as Don discovered. A dog really is man’s best friend. If you’ve never taken a rescue dog home, now’s your chance to enjoy an adventure. This book will encourage you as you journey together. Happy times ahead for Don, you & the dogs.
I received a copy from the author via WLM & I’m writing an honest voluntary review
