Before Diane was vegan, she was a companion animal rescue advocate. She wrote three books about dog rescue, two for kids and one for adults, which you can learn about below.
She is still a rescue advocate, yet realized that all animals (not just dogs and cats) deserve compassion which inspired her to go vegan. If you know anyone getting ready to adopt a dog, these books can be helpful (and enjoyable!)

About the Book:
Maya has wanted a dog for as long as she can remember. Just when her parents decide to buy her one, her Uncle Jerry finds a homeless puppy that he can’t keep. Although Mom is skeptical about keeping a dog from the street, she agrees to take in the pup and they name him JJ. Before long, JJ warms his way into their hearts, and Maya and her family learn about homeless animals and how they can be a part of the solution to end pet overpopulation.
Through Maya’s eyes, the reader learns of alternatives to buying dogs from a breeder, or worse, from a pet store that gets dogs from puppy mills. The book addresses many aspects of the problem including stray animals, animals at shelters and rescues, what to do when you find an animal, and basic animal care. JJ The American Street Dog is appealing to children five to nine years old with its colorful illustrations and six-year-old heroine. The story is exciting and uplifting, and teaches that adopting a rescue animal is a win-win. JJ gets a loving home, and Maya gets a dog that she always wanted.

Award Winning JJ Goes to Puppy Class
Priceless lessons for families getting ready to train a puppy!
About the Book:
Maya just adopted her puppy JJ and couldn’t be more excited! JJ is excited too and you know what that means… he’s digging holes in the garden, jumping up on furniture, having an occasional accident in the house and many more puppy-like things! Maya’s mom signs the whole family up for puppy-training class, where they will have fun learning how to keep JJ and those around him happy and safe. Plus the bonding time spent together is priceless!
JJ Goes To Puppy Class is a beautifully illustrated story that helps pet loving families teach their children about patience, consistency, kindness, responsibility and unconditional love — just some of the important values parents and educators endeavor to impart in school age children.
In JJ Goes to Puppy Class, Maya and her family enroll JJ in positive obedience training so he can learn what is expected of him inside and outside of the home. Perfect example setting for the five to nine year old reader. The training methods described in the book encourage Maya to be gentle and comforting towards JJ in his new environment. JJ exhibits all the typical puppy behavior: accidents in the house, pulling on the leash, unwanted chewing, etc. and trainer Lyssa teaches Maya and her family how to work with JJ on each behavior in a humane and patient manner.
