Book Cover & Preview Text
Many animals have come into and gone out of my life having forever left a mark, just as they probably have in yours. Most of them were either strays or were unwanted and uncared for by the humans responsible for them. According to the ASPCA, “an animal is beaten or abused every ten seconds.” The knowledge of this physically sickens me and quite often keeps me awake at night. My brain knows that no one person can save every discarded, unloved animal in this world. My heart believes that I have to try. After all, each in their own way saved me. And so, I vowed to record their stories one by one, so that each has the opportunity to touch others just as they have touched mine.

About the Book
Some people collect cars, exquisite paintings, antique furniture, and fragile china sets. While Melissa Wolf appreciates and occasionally enjoys a few of those things, she collects something different: living and breathing beings with four feet, a tail—which in some cases wags—and an endless capacity for love. For as long as she can remember, Melissa has always loved animals. In a collection of personal stories, she honors the lives of the animals that have left a mark on her heart over the years. In each tale intricately woven with emotion, she highlights the highs and lows she experienced as she loved, cared for, and attempted to save animals of every kind that included dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, ducks, chicken, goats, pigs, and even a cow. But as her stories tenderly reveal, Melissa never imagined how each animal, in its own way, would save and forever change her. Angels with Fur shares a collection of stories that provide a loving tribute to the animals one woman rescued from an uncertain fate and reveal how each ultimately transformed her life—and her heart.
