This book can't decide on its audience. It intermingles advice for rescuers and advice for adopters, which doesn't work. These two different groups have different experience levels and needs for guidance. For rescuers, much of the information is too basic. For adopters, some of the information is irrelevant. Having to pick and choose the information that matters makes for difficult reading.
This book also vacillates between positive, more modern methods and traditional advice. It is written by two authors - and it shows. A paragraph on bonding with reward-based training might be followed by a paragraph on electric shock collars.
I strongly recommend "The Adopted Dog Bible" to meet all your adoption needs!Petfinder.com The Adopted Dog Bible: Your One-Stop Resource for Choosing, Training, and Caring for Your Sheltered or Rescued Dog

Every homeless animal is an individual just waiting for the person who will understand and love him for the unique being he is. Your Adopted Dog is a thorough guide to uncovering the one-of-a-kind personality and discovering the one-of-a-kind love each rescued dog wants to share, if he is only given the chance. Filled with helpful advice and successful techniques to tailer to each dog's needs, this book will help anyone who undertakes the profoundly compassionate act of saving a life by rescuing or adopting a homeless dog.

Your Adopted Dog is an amazing compilation of information, tips, strategies, training instructions and dog psychology, sprinkled with the most touching real-life stories of rescued dogs. If you buy ONE dog book, this one should be it! Jody Cramer
