Reviews of my books by Elizabeth Coalson - Founder and CEO, National Canine Advocacy Group, Inc.
Last year I had "met" and chatted with Elizabeth Coalson - Founder and CEO of National Advocacy Group, Inc., based in Denver concerning a book that I am working on that covers what people should consider before bringing home a pet. I had asked if maybe she could read it over. She was interested, but mentioned that she didn't know anything about pets in general, as her experience was with dogs. So, as I was stuck on the Miniature Pig section of my book, I decided to pull the main information together and bring in only the dog information and created a book that is written for the potential dog owner.
Within that last year, I have pulled specific information out and created several smaller books, rewriting and emphasizing certain information for the individual book. Recently, I asked if Elizabeth would be interested in reading through these books, as I am seeking feedback from those who are actively involved in the pet and rescue world. She agreed to read through them and offer me her thoughts, so I sent them along to her, including a notebook that is designed to be paired up with my book Keeping Your Pet - 10 Essential Strategies to Care for Your Pet During Difficult Times.
The texts that I received from her were all encouraging, and she agreed to write reviews for the books. Imagine my absolute delight when she sent them over to me with very powerful and positive thoughts. I am including them here for your perusal.
"Hayes’ books, Before You Get a Pet, Top Reasons Why People Get Rid of Their Pets, and Keeping Your Pets should be required reading for anyone considering getting a pet or giving up their pet.

You will find the four books under the Books link for purchase. The notebook is still being worked on, but will be available soon! I welcome inquiries from clubs, rescues, shelters, breeders, and those who may be involved in the pet world who would like to use these books to help educate potential owners and help lower the number of animals entering the shelter system.
It is It's DogGone Awesome's ambitious goal to lower the number of animals entering the shelter and rescue system to 20% overall by 2035. I know with a solid community effort, these numbers can be reached! I look forward to hearing from you and how you would like to be join us and help move this forward!
