Overview

When Diane and her husband Chris began their life together, they assumed they would add a couple of kids and a dog and cat to their family. But neither of them could have envisioned what happened next. Since adopting their first dog in 1968, they have fostered and adopted over 80 homeless dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. Each one has enriched their lives and filled their home with love (and laughs). ""An Ark of Sorts"" shares their stories. This memoir is the product of years of love and labor and it takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the highs and lows of animal rescue. While reading, you will come across stories of Mouse the cat with no eyes, Bob the duck, Chauncy the abandoned black lab, and many more. Every animal has brought enrichment and purpose to the lives of Diane, Chris, and their children. This journey of service brought forth many valuable lessons and introduced the family to the heartbreaking plight of homeless animals. Every experience advocating and fighting for animals has led Diane on her mission to change the system and make the world a better place for all creatures.
