Thursday, December 14, 2006

Max the Shelter DogMax, The Shelter Dog is a new children's book by Nicole Rivera which tells the story of a misunderstood, playful, and energetic pit bull named Max who is placed in a shelter by his owners.

The reader is taken through the process and emotions a dog goes through when they enter a shelter. It promotes the importance of volunteering, of adopting from a shelter, and the plight of the beautiful bully breed.

A portion of the proceeds is donated to charities and shelters that help the plight of the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Staffordshire Terrier.

At just 44 pages in length, this book would make a great bedtime story for your kids.

  • This sounds like a great book to help people understand what goes on at shelters and that it is very important to adopt rather than buy from breeders.I am a volunteer for a rottweiler rescue and just like the pit bull they are so...misunderstood.
    Thanks.

  • If you took the time to go to a shelter you would would see that it is not all love, but some hatred goes on!

  • If you ever visited a dog shelter you may well have become concerned as to the condition of all the dogs there, especially pit bulls. Helping people understand the plight of these misunderstood dogs is to be applauded.

  • I adopted a pittbull out of a shelter in New York, mistaking him for an offspring of my friend's dog. We learned later that day of his parentage and his birthday. That was my introduction to this loving breed. Unfortunately, he passed away the day before his 9th birthday. I now have 3 poodles and 2 shepherd mixes, all of whom are better watchdogs than my pitt was. His looks alone were enough to discourage anybody with bad intentions.
