A Home For Dixie << Prev page
The True Story of a Rescued Puppy
Emma Jackson

It is heartbreaking how many unwanted, unloved, and abandoned dogs there are in shelters across America. Sadly, most of these dogs end up being euthanized. A Home for Dixie is a great way to introduce children to the idea of adopting a dog from a shelter.

Emma has wanted a dog for as long as she can remember. Her parents finally decide that she is old enough and responsible enough to have one. While researching dogs and where to find one, the family comes across ''Aunt Mary's Doghouse'' and learns about the millions of dogs living in animal shelters. Emma decides that there is a homeless dog waiting just for her.

When the family goes to the shelter and picks out Dixie, Aunt Mary sends them home to think about this big decision overnight to make sure everyone is committed to giving Dixie a forever home. They come back the next day and take Dixie home. The rest of the book is about the strong bond Dixie and Emma build with one another through mutual trust and care.

Aunt Mary's Doghouse is a real animal shelter run by a wonderful lady, Mary Cody. The end of the book tells a bit about this shelter and how to find a shelter in your own area. Let's educate our children early about the plight of unwanted, unloved, and abandoned animals and what we can do to save as many of them as possible. Even if your family is not in a position to have a dog, there are still things you all can do to help—volunteer at a shelter, help out at pet adoption events, or drop off bags of food for the animals. Even purchasing this book helps, as a portion of the proceeds is donated to Aunt Mary's Doghouse.
