October Adopt-a-Dog Month Book Giveaway

October 11, 2010 by 5 Minutes for Books

Did you know that October is Adopt-a-Dog month? Me either. However, I can say that I’m a big fan of adopted dogs. We’ve had two. Our first one had some issues, but we loved her. Grace was that that dog before kids who IS your kid, so she made us a family. We’ve had Shadow for about ten years now. You’d never believe that she’s that old, and everyone agrees that she’s the best dog ever.

We are definitely fans. If you are looking for a pet, check out your local shelters.

Hachette Publishers always puts together great themed giveaways, and this is no exception:


Katie Up and Down the Hall

    Both of our dogs and our cat are rescues adopted from shelters. I am thankful that I could give them a life that they might not have had. The return for our family in terms of loyalty and companionship is certainly a three-fold blessing!

    That is so funny… I JUST ADOPTED A DOG… AND IT IS OCTOBER! We had to put our amazing 14 year old dalmatian Dottie down in September. This past Saturday we adopted a rescue – Emma, a deaf dalmatian. We are learning how to work with a deaf dog, slowly but surely, and training is CERTAINLY around the corner…. so nice to see this contest!

    Oh would I love to win these! Our whole family are pet lovers & dogs have always been a part of my life & now my sons & grandchildrens lives. Long ago when I was a little girl,my Dad would pack up my sisters & I every Sat. & we would go to the local animal shelter ( which was the ASPCA) & walk dogs & clean cages & just help out in any way we could. And believe me that was long before many people were aware of the plight of shelter dogs & cats. Please,please adopt a shelter dog!
