The book answers questions like whether dog adoption is right for you, how to adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue group, how to pre¬pare your home for a new member, integrating the dog into your home, family, lifestyle, and more. In five modules, Diane leads the reader through the steps they should take to decide on a dog, then through the adoption process, as well as life¬long care. And, with the shorter lives of animals, she delivers a heartfelt chapter on saying goodbye to a pet.
Diane enjoys reading the JJ books to children in schools, libraries and at adoption events. Her goal is to educate children and adults about how compassion extends to all beings, human and animal. To this end, she founded Team Kindness, a program where children, families and teachers can learn about and engage in kind, and humane educational activities.
She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two children and two rescued dogs.
