Books and Booklets

So many pets are brought into a home without much thought, and sadly, a large percentage of those pets end up being relinquished to the shelters or rescues. With that in mind, the books available on this website are written specifically for new pet owners who would like to learn what should be considered before bringing home a pet or offers advice to current pet owners on ways to keep their pet safely with them.

Other books will be forthcoming, so we would encourage you to sign up for our e-mails so that you will know when a new book is coming out!

Independence Day for Pets

Today Americans celebrate our Independence Day, Independent from oppression and those who rule from across the pond. From those who would rule over us and not in a caring fashion. In giving this thought, I wish that there was an Independence Day for pets. Independence from being abandoned, unwanted, neglected,  misjudged, and misunderstood. Going forward, let us work together to help pets by becoming a more aware and compassionate country. Read more: https://www.itsdoggoneawesome.com/blogs/news/independence-day-for-pets

  • REVIEW

    "Hayes’ books, Before You Get a Pet, Top Reasons Why People Get Rid of Their Pets, and Keeping Your Pets should be required reading for anyone considering getting a pet or giving up their pet. The books are concise and to the point about being a responsible pet owner, mincing no words about the importance of our role in the well-being of our pets." ~ Elizabeth Coalson, Founder, National Canine Advocacy Group

Pet Support Program

It's DogGone Awesome's Pet Support Program will develop several initiatives to help lower the pet population in shelters and rescues. They are:

  • Establish more accessible education programs for the general public

  • Provide quality information that potential new pet owners can easily study to help them decide if they are ready to bring home a pet

  • Establish programs nationwide that will assist pet owners when they have any type of issue that may put another pet in the shelter or rescue system

  • Establish a nationwide program that will assist those pets whose owners may need hospitalization, moved to a nursing home, or have passed away

  • Encourage the human-animal bond and help create more awareness of the unique qualities and rewards of pet ownership

Profits of all sales will be put toward the purchase of an appropriate facility, development of the programs listed, and establishing a 501(k) non-profit organization to assist those in need. Learn more about us here: https://www.itsdoggoneawesome.com/pages/about-us
