One at a Time:
A Week in an American Animal Shelter
is a project of No Voice Unheard, a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded by the authors, who are former shelter workers.
We have no paid staff, carrying out our work
with a small group of dedicated volunteers who come together out of a deep love of and respect for animals, and who believe in the potential
of One At A Time to create a better world
for our animal friends.

"One at a Time is like a Shindler's List for pets. In poignant pictures and tear-inducing text (both sadness and joy!) it personalizes a sampling of the estimated 15-20,000 pets that are euthanized every day in this country and showcases that success at shelters is within our collective reach. Take to heart the message of this one-of-a-kind book, and then take action to help all the hopeful animals that await our rescue."
