700+ FIVE STAR Ratings Rescue Matters is the amazing true story of how an unlikely group of people saved thousands of animals out of one man's garage and changed the landscape of animal rescue forever. As soon as you purchase this book, you are saving a life. A portion of the profits go directly back to Turtle Mountain Animal Rescue. C.J. English takes readers inside the emotional and bittersweet world of animal rescue in a remote part of North Dakota. A heart-wrenching and deeply moving story that has much to teach us about responsibility and compassion. Woven with riveting and inspiring real-life rescue stories, Rescue Matters tells a larger tale of tragedy-meets-redemption in this gripping account of how a garage rescue grew into a mighty force that inspired the nation. When Keith Benning accepted the job as a deputy in a small North Dakota County, he had no idea he was about to face the biggest challenge of his life. Four years and four thousand dogs later, he lost his marriage, a fellow officer and nearly his own life. By rescuing seventy starving and unwanted animals out of his garage each month, Keith and a small team of volunteers have changed the world for thousands of dogs and tens of thousands more to come. Rescue Matters is alive with meaning and purpose, proving that that it doesn't take a law or government to change the world, just a few people trying to make a difference can spark a revolution. "The compassionate reader will want to peruse this book right away. Anyone who loves animals at all, and certainly anyone with a heart, will love this book." - Judge 29, 27th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
