TierHeim - Schicksal oder Chance?!

Animal Shelter - Fate or Opportunity? This is the question posed by Sabine Neumann, a dog trainer and dedicated animal rights activist, as she delves deeply into the topic of dogs in shelters. In her book, she compiles statistics and facts, highlighting the challenges that often hinder good and species-appropriate housing for dogs in shelters, while simultaneously urging improvements in living conditions so that dogs can feel comfortable there. She presents ideas for activity programs, room furnishings, staff training, and many other aspects of dog care in animal shelters. Her standard for every dog is that it should be treated as one would treat their own if it were to end up in a shelter for any reason. The numerous case stories vividly describe the fates of the animals that come to a shelter, whether temporarily or for a longer period, and ideally are treated as guests, with efforts made to make their stay as pleasant as possible after they have lost their familiar environment and caregivers due to surrender. This book is a treasure trove for anyone involved in animal welfare—whether as a shelter employee, the responsible veterinarian, a volunteer dog walker, or as someone interested in giving a dog from the shelter a new home.
