Product Description
Whirlwind of a woman, Randi Berger wraps you in tales of her dog rescues -- more than ten thousand over the past twenty years -- in her new, revised, and expanded My Recycled Pets: Diary of a Dog Addict. A nationally recognized pioneer in the pet rescue movement, Berger takes you from first pet to longest lived twenty-one-year-old dog-of-nine-lives as she magically matches unwanted dogs with the perfect, loving new owners. Along the way, she treats you to laughter, tears, and spiritual insights. Experience the astonishing synchronicities and miracles that gave Ms. Berger her faith. You, too, will see how: Every detour from what we think is right holds a message somewhere for us that everything is in Divine Right Order. The mesmerizing stories held within the pages of My Recycled Pets will forever change your belief system about what is possible for us on Earth. Recognized by Writer s Digest with an Inspirational Award, My Recycled Pets: Diary of a Dog Addict proves what one determined person can accomplish and what power lies within each of us. 100% of the net profits from the sale of this book benefits Recycled Pets Rescue, an all volunteer, non profit 501(c)3 charity.

Very inspirational March 26, 2008

I loved this book! I found it very inspirational and motivational. Thanks to people like Randi, I have the most amazing little rescue dog and I love reading about other successful rescues as well. As a dog lover who also sometimes volunteers for dog rescue in the Bay Area, I was touched by Randi's stories. I also love her spiritual approach, of searching for divine order in a chaotic world. The book has inspired me to begin volunteering/fostering for rescue again, and to give dogs that might appear unreachable a second chance.

A current trend in books about dogs is that the dog(s) serve as a back drop for the author to talk about himself or herself. This book is not one of those books. And Randi Berger does a wonderful job telling the dogs' amazing stories.
I truly enjoyed reading this book about troubled dogs who are rehabilitated by Ms. Berger and end up as wonderful pets.
Inspirational and amazing! December 31, 2007

Berger's stories of her years managing her full-time dog rescue organization are not only entertaining, but inspiring and sometimes painful to read. This is real-life in the dog-rescue world. Very hard work. You really get a sense of the committment and the endless effort it takes to run a successful rescue organization. Berger laces her book with humor, wit, and lots of great dog photos so you can really get a feel for each of the dog characters she writes about. I recommend this book to ANY dog lover...but especially to those who've rescued a dog from the street, a shelter, or a bad situation. You will enjoy this book. A must-have for your dog library!
Totally enjoyable December 29, 2007

This is a most enjoyable book and the first I have read to tell how someone begins a dog rescue group. I got my dog from one and have wanted to know more about these groups. The writer should continue to tell her story of dog rescue and of other such groups as well. Her writing style is entertaining and informative.
An intimate glimpse into the soul of a dog lover December 14, 2007

In her book "My Recycled Pets," Randi Berger shares with her readers a deep and personal glimpse into the life of a self proclaimed "dog addict." Randi is the founder and director of Recycled Pets Rescue, an organization that finds homes for dogs that would otherwise be put to sleep. This book chronicles her life and the many furry friends that aided and helped her along the way.
I think the most compelling thing about this book is that Randi Berger's passion for what she does oozes from every page. In her book, Randi allows her readers to accompany her on a journey that takes her from being self centered young adult to the selfless champion of those discarded pets on doggie death row.
This book is mostly a series of vignettes about the many dogs that have passed through Randi's life. These stories are filled with both joy and pathos. Randi's strength as a writer is the way she connects with the reader and is able to communicate her innermost feelings through the pages of her book.
I found "My Recycled Pets," to be a very touching and readable book. In fact it I was not able to read it a quickly as I would have liked because my wife hijacked it from me and couldn't put it down, leaving it unavailable to me until she was finished.
