Stories of rescue animals and the people who were saved by them 
 
Sheltered explores the power of love between people and their adopted animals, and how those individual animals have changed and enriched people’s lives.
 
There’s Kaylee the kelpie cross who had been mistreated so badly she’d lost all trust in people before a family’s love, patience and devotion restored her faith in herself and humanity. Marvin, rescued from a violent home as a kitten, who became an unlimited source of joy for his human family but amazingly also a carer and ‘guard cat’ for puppies and pregnant horses. Ollie, a timid staghound, transforms into an outgoing ‘goofy pooch’ who inspires his human rescuers to help other animals in need. And a pony, Creature, who becomes a hero for horse welfare and proves to his rescuer that happy endings happen, even against the odds. 
 
These real-life, heartfelt stories showcase the deep bonds forged between rescue animals, whether they be dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, rabbits or donkeys, and the people who give them a second chance. Uplifting and inspiring, Sheltered is for the animal lover in all of us.
