Full Description
SCRIM: A New Orleans Story of Resilience and Rescue chronicles the heartwarming and epic journey of Scrim the terrier throughout New Orleans in picture book form for animal lovers everywhere. A true story, and originally featured in The Times-Picayune, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS & NBC News and more, Scrim became an instant hero, "a living, panting embodiment of the spirit of New Orleans." -The New York Times
This touching and beguilingly nuanced illustrated book, the story of a terrier-mix rescue who overcame trauma and hardships and kept going despite it all, is sure to be cherished, collected, and gifted by dog lovers and those who empathize with the obstacles all rescues face and endure.
Author Kaye Courington, a lifelong animal lover and advocate, "wrote this book because Scrim's story represents the resiliency and strong community of New Orleans. So many people came together to find and help Scrim—I'm not sure that would've happened anywhere else."
Michelle Cheramie, founder/owner of Zeus' Rescues, coalesced a community of volunteers for some nine months to aid in Scrim's ultimate journey to his forever home. That journey (documented by a srimtracker.com) encompassed evading death at a former shelter, surviving a hurricane, two gunshot wounds, dodging a train, crossing an interstate highway, and the 2025 New Orleans six-inch snowstorm.
More than just a story, SCRIM is a testament to resilience and the lifesaving power of pet rescue. In an inspiring gesture of giving back, the author is donating all of her royalties to local rescues to support animals in need.
