The Animal Sanctuary
The Inspirational Story of a New Zealand
Animal and Wildlife Refuge
Shawn
Bishop with Allison Jones
Renaissance Publishing - $29.99
Meet Shawn Bishop – she and her husband Michael own a
substantial block of land north of Auckland. But that’s where the similarity
with other rural landowners begins and ends, because Shawn had a special
purpose in mind when they bought their property: to establish an animal
sanctuary. Over the last 10 years she and her husband, aided by a dedicated
team of volunteers, have invested huge energy and resources to rescuing and
rehabilitating a wide variety of animals in need.
Abused farm animals, injured or orphaned native birds,
rescued battery hens and other miscellaneous creatures have all come under
their care. From ponies to pigs to penguins to parrots, they all receive
the love and attention they need to turn their sad stories into happy
endings.
The Animal Sanctuary, with its
foreword by well-known journalist and animal welfare supporter Wendyl Nissen,
is a generously illustrated and deeply inspirational account of Shawn and
Michael’s commitment to providing a better life for so many animals from such a
large range of different backgrounds.
Note: More than
just an account of how so many animals have been saved from abuse and, in many
cases, death, The Animal Sanctuary is
also a fundraising project. For every copy sold, Renaissance Publishing will
donate $3.00 directly to The Sanctuary to help Shawn and Michael continue their
work.
