Animal rescuer and author, Debi Pace, has referred to her home as the “Kennel of Last Resort.”
Wherever Pace has lived, she has volunteered at the local shelter or humane society, and for the last fifteen years she has taken in the hardest cases and worked hands-on to rehabilitate and rehome animals―and kept a running cast of characters in her life from collies to kittens to a cockabeagador. These stories celebrate the countless dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other creatures who have made their homes with her and that she has restored to health, rehomed with new families, or helped over the “rainbow bridge.”
About the Author
Debi lives in the small community of Vaughn, Montana with her family of rescued critters. When she is not working at her full time job, she is active caring for her resident and foster dogs and cats. Many of the stories in this book were written during the Camp Collie rescue in 2002/2003 with the idea of compiling them into a future book. Unfortunately the book idea took a back seat once the “rescue” bug bit. What started as baking cookies for the occasional shelter bake sale turned into a passion for helping animals by fostering, working at adoption events and helping to organize spay/neuter clinics. These took up most of her time and the book became a will do someday bucket list item.
As Debi got more involved in animal rescue she had little extra time to sit in front of a computer. But once started, the stories wrote themselves and in only a few months, PawPrints looked like it would become a reality. These stories sometimes heartbreaking, often funny and heartwarming will hopefully inspire others to go the extra mile to help an animal in need.
This is Debi’s first book of what she anticipates will be other books on animal rescue. All the animals in this book left lasting paw prints across her heart. Her hopes are the readers of this book will identify with precious animals that have left large, tiny, muddy, and hairy paw prints across their hearts. 50% of the proceeds from PawPrints Across My Heart will go towards animal rescue.
