Customer Rating: 

This is a professional reference for animal handlers and veterinarian assistants at animal shelters. It is an edited volume with an excellent index. There are lots of statistics for all types of animals, including exotic pets that occasionally show up at shelters. This is a desk reference that should be available at all shelters, for both veterinarians and their staff, as the title alludes.

Customer Rating: 

Well-written and concise, this manual is an invaluable tool for any shelter organization to have as a reference. Shelter medicine is an area where there are not many publications available. This manual helps to fill that void in the literature with a wealth of information.

Customer Rating: 

For the shelter veterianarian just starting out or those that have been practicing a long time. There are no current quality resource textbooks available for shelter veterinarians. It covers all the animal species most likely to be encountered in a shelter enviroment and all aspects of shelter medicine management. This book is a valuable addition to any shelter veterinarian's library.

Customer Rating: 

This textbook is certainly useful for people involved in animal shelters and rescue groups. It offers detailed, in-depth information about many aspects of animal sheltering. Don't expect cookbook formulas for the beginner though. Shelter medicine is a complex subject with no easy answers, and this is a text aimed at veterinarians and trained staff, so it contains some detailed scientific and medical information. It is a helpful and insightful resource.
