Rusty is a dog in your local shelter. He is loving, loyal and waiting on his forever home. This book -- the first in the "Rusty the Rescue" series -- is meant to introduce young readers to the plight of shelter animals and the beauty of adoption. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to North Shore Animal League America (the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization). "If you give him a home and a toy to chew; Before you know it, he'll turn around and rescue you too."
