description: A heartwarming collection of true animal rescue stories from Wildlife Waystation, a unique refuge for wild animals near Los Angeles. "Small or large, common or endangered, every wild animal in need finds a haven at Wildlife Waystation". That's the motto of the one-of-a-kind West Coast sanctuary for wild animals, and the real-life stories collected in this fascinating book prove it lives up to its word. Wildlife Waystation will appeal to all animal lovers and conservationists, especially since the animals here are exotic (they include tigers, zebras, bears, lions, and chimps) and have escaped harrowing, abusive situations, thanks to the dedication of Martine Colette and her staff and volunteers at the refuge. With many of the approximately 1000 animals sponsored by well-known celebrities, among them Betty White, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Drew Barrymore, and Candice Bergen, Wildlife Waystation is the only place available for certain creatures to live out the rest of their lives in dignity. This fact, coupled with lively writing that brings the individuality of each animal vividly alive, makes this book a moving and memorable reading experience.
