I wanted to let you know how important your book was to us and to our rescue. We were lucky enough to receive your information before we did our very first adoption event. For that, I will always be grateful. You offered us a step by step plan for success, an “out of the box” path for successful adoptions. We …

Your book has given us insight on what is “outside the box” that can be used to bridge the communication gap between dog and man, and its simple and has been there all along, it took you to bring it to the fore front, I forward all your writings to people having adopted my dogs and to rescue groups and …
Thomas Cole Shelter Revolution, Exec. Director
In Selling Used Dogs Robert Cabral reveals what it takes to bring out the best in dogs. Every shelter director should put into practice this easy-to-follow road map.
Animal Sheltering Magazine The Humane Society of the United States
Cabral’s book takes a friendly but no-nonsense look at what people can do to impact euthanasia rates, taking on topics ranging from which animals rescuers should focus on to save more lives to how rescues can build better relationships with shelters. It’s sensible, direct, and compassionate about both the animals and the people working to help them.

I loved reading Selling Used Dogs – Every Executive Director should have this book on their desk; not a day goes by when I’m not thumbing through it for ideas to help find forever homes for our temporary residents.
Barb Hutchinson Executive Director MCPAWS Regional Animal Shelter
This book really nails down what a shelter needs to do to get dogs adopted – it was full of great ideas!

It is in the process of getting passed around by staff who are all very excited about the ideas. Rather than take it back and read it myself, I have just …
Dan Olsen, CAWA Animal Services/Code Compliance Manager Town of Truckee
I like how it’s not just another “dog training book” it’s geared toward the dogs who are in need of our help the most. It’s clear and concise.
Dawn Johnson, MS, RD Executive Director Humane Society of Genesee County
Desperate Dogs Determined Measures lays down specific techniques that I believe will get even some of our most difficult dogs adopted more easily. Your expertise in dog behavior and training was helpful throughout the book and has something for everyone….. It will be very easy to pull information out of your book and in-service the staff on some basic techniques …

I am currently a volunteer trainer for high risk dogs at Spokanimal C.A.R.E. animal shelter in Spokane, WA and I want to thank you for taking the time to write “Desperate Dogs”. This book needed to be written and I can only hope that shelters across the U.S. will make this required reading for ALL employees and volunteers. You have …
