I was familiar with the authors of this book and the story from watching it on television. Even though I knew the story, I looked forward to reading the book, as I am always more partial to books than film. However, this time I did enjoy the film more than the book. For me, there was just too much personal information in the book. I do love the story and am so grateful for such generous souls as the authors who save as many lives as they can. I thank NetGalley and Harper One for the read.

I went into this book already familiar with Danny and Ron's rescue after watching the documentary on Netflix awhile back and being amazed at what they have accomplished. I was excited to read this book and loved getting more of their story. These two are among the most generous of people, both with their time and their money. Having done just a bit of fostering for my local shelter, volunteering at the shelter and having my own (often high maintenance - I know how to pick 'em!) furry crew, I get a firsthand glimpse into the amount of work put in to rehabilitate all these dogs in need and the heartbreak of not being able to help them all. While not everyone is in a financial position to do what Danny and Ron have done, we can all learn from their selfless and loving attitudes. Please consider fostering. If you can't foster, adopt! Can't make a lifelong commitment? Volunteer at your local shelter or rescue! Short on time? Donate! Check with your local shelter to see what their needs are.

For those who want to adopt a Danny and Ron dog after reading this book or watching their documentary, please remember, shelters everywhere are full of amazing dogs (and cats and more) in need of homes. Your new best friend may be just down the road, waiting for you to change his/her fate!

Thanks to Harperone and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Forever Home: How We Turned Our House into a Haven for Abandoned, Abused, and Misunderstood Dogs—and Each Other by Ron Danta, Danny Robertshaw, and Larry Lindner is a wonderful and heartfelt book.

It was a bit hard to read because I just lost my rescue German shepherd doggo suddenly after 10.5 years.

Forever Home is the poignant story of how Danny and Ron found each other during a time they each needed rescuing and how they transformed their home into a haven for dogs in need. A beautiful book that is a must-read for any animal lover.

I highly recommend this book. A 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a wonderful book! So much love between the rescuers and the animals. I really enjoyed this one.
I have also rescued dogs, so I understood the commitment it took. Be sure to read this one, it's great!

Thank you so much, NetGalley, the writers, and the Publisher for giving me the chance to read and review this great book!
