As a Dir. of Human Resources, I read a lot of resumes. When I read Terri Crisp's resume nearly 10 years ago, I knew she was right for a job as HR administrator--but what was this "cat trapping" she listed as a hobby? When I interviewed Terri, I discovered that she spent her spare time trapping and humanely relocating cats and kittens that had been abandoned and gone wild. Sometimes they were sick, sometimes they were dangerous, sometimes people just wanted them "gone." As I grew to know Terri and we worked together, I found out that there was nothing sentimental in her attitude towards animals desperately in need. She loved them, but she recognized their potential danger to other animals, to people and to the environment. Now, many years later, she devotes her time and talents to rescuing animals threatened or stranded by natural disasters. She trains volunteers, takes substantials risks herself, and has become a highly successfull professional. I know, however, that the instincts that inspired her first amateur efforts at cat trapping--a sincere and rational dedication to the rights of animals--still exist. This is her story, and an inspiration to anyone who "loves animals" and wants to put that love to practical, important use.
It's also full of suspense for action lovers. I highly recommend it.

Format:Hardcover
This is a truly wonderful book. Terri Crisp's story is astonishing as she recounts her work saving the other-than-human victims of natural disasters. Some of the stories are heartbreaking- the oiled otters were very difficult to read about in places- but the book is inspiring and uplifting as she shows what can be accomplished when compassionate and determined people work together. This woman is amazing!
Format:Paperback
A friend shared this book with me and I thank her. Terri Crisp is a true hero! She remains positive while cleaning up after countless thoughtless pet owners. When disaster strikes it is the helpless who are left behind in situations that leave them no chance of escape. Terri and company are often the last chance a stranded animal has for life. Terri is amazing. If every pet owner would read this book, the world would be a much safer place for our animal friends. Read this, and pass it on to a friend. It will change your life.
