Everything You Need To Know About “Collage to the Rescue”

"We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." — Immanuel Kant

Imagine a world where what’s seen as broken or unwanted can be transformed into something breathtakingly beautiful. That’s the essence of Collage to the Rescue, a powerful and heartwarming book that brings together two transformative forces—art and animal rescue. This isn’t just another book about creativity or compassion; it’s a call to action, a reminder that the discarded can be saved, nurtured, and given a second chance at life.

Wendy Tigerman’s Collage to the Rescue is dedicated to every animal that’s been abandoned, abused, or simply forgotten. These innocent creatures, waiting in shelters for someone to see their worth, deserve the chance to live in a home where they are loved and cherished. The book also celebrates the people who open their hearts and homes to these animals, proving that love truly can heal all wounds. For anyone who has ever adopted a rescue animal, the bond is indescribable—a mutual understanding that both lives have been forever changed for the better.

In the same way that rescue organizations give animals a new lease on life, collage artists breathe new life into materials others might toss aside. These artists, through their creativity, take fragments of paper, photographs, and found objects and create something new and extraordinary. Similarly, rescue workers take animals in desperate need of care and find them loving homes. At its core, Collage to the Rescue shows us that art and rescue are about seeing potential where others see none—about giving second chances and finding beauty in the unexpected.

This same spirit of transformation is evident in the work of collage artists. Artists like Henri Matisse and Hanna Höch, two pioneers of collage, understood the power of taking disparate materials and turning them into something that sparks joy or thought. The book highlights the work of numerous contemporary collage artists who have poured their creativity and passion into the pages of Collage to the Rescue.

The book doesn’t stop there. It features an incredible lineup of artists like Renee Wilson, Laura Orsini, Jack Bucholtz, James Herbst, Robin Isley, Terry Sand, and Sandy Oppenheimer, each contributing their own style and vision. These artists have given their time and talent to help promote a cause they believe in—animal rescue.

But Collage to the Rescue isn’t just about celebrating the work of artists; it’s about making a real difference. In a true act of generosity, 50% of the profits from the book will go directly to non-profit rescue organizations like the SPCA, Best Friends Animal Society, and Pet Orphans of Southern California. These organizations are dedicated to finding loving homes for animals in need, and your purchase of this book helps support their vital work. The remaining profits are split between the artists and the creator of the book, ensuring that everyone involved in this project benefits from its success.

What makes this book stand out is the way it brings together art and activism in a meaningful way. When you purchase Collage to the Rescue, you’re not just getting a beautiful piece of art—you’re becoming part of a movement to save animals. Each page is filled with vibrant, soulful artwork that captures the heart and spirit of rescue. The pieces are powerful and emotional, much like the stories of the animals themselves. You’ll find yourself moved by both the images and the cause they support.

Each piece in the book tells a story, just as each rescued animal has a story of their own. Some animals come from loving homes where circumstances changed, while others are pulled from abusive environments. No matter their past, they all have one thing in common—they’re looking for a fresh start, just like the fragments of paper and images that make up a collage.

As you flip through the pages of Collage to the Rescue, you’ll see how art and rescue go hand in hand. Both are about seeing the potential in something that’s been cast aside and helping it reach its full potential. Whether you’re an art lover, an animal advocate, or someone who just appreciates a good story of transformation, this book will resonate with you.

Ultimately, Collage to the Rescue is more than just a book—it’s a call to action. It reminds us that we all have the power to make a difference, whether through adopting a rescue pet or supporting the artists and organizations that work tirelessly to save them. And with 50% of profits going directly to rescue organizations, every purchase of this book helps save lives.

So, whether you’re looking for inspiration, beautiful artwork, or a way to contribute to a meaningful cause, Collage to the Rescue offers it all. And remember—there are only good dogs.
