Dogtown: A Sanctuary for Rescued Dogs

As depicted in the popular National Geographic series, DogTown is part of the largest no-kill animal facility in the country. This book takes a look at the endearing dogs who are rehabilitated there.

Dogtown, a tie-in to the popular TV series of the same title, depicts the heartwarming stories of the dogs who are rescued and rehabilitated at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the largest no-kill animal facility in the country, located in Southern Utah. Readers will learn about the relationships that flourish between the dogs and the trainers and how happy endings can happen for these dogs. The first TV series was so successful that more episodes were produced. They will air in August, 2008, with promotions for the new episodes starting in June.

This inspiring new book gives readers an inside look at the dogs who are rescued and rehabilitated by Best Friends Animal Society at Dogtown, part of the largest no-kill animal haven in the United States. This sanctuary hosts hundreds of dogs from around the world (including 22 pit bulls who were rescued from their painful lives with Michael Vick), as well as cats, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, and various other animals - between 1,500-2,000 animals in all. Dogtown is the subject of a television series on the National Geographic Channel; new episodes will begin September 5, 2008. Like the TV show, Dogtown depicts the engrossing stories of the dogs that are rescued and rehabilitated at the facility by its top-notch staff of veterinarians and trainers. Readers will learn about the relationships that flourish between the dogs and the trainers, and see how happy endings are possible for these dogs.
