SCRIM: A New Orleans Story of Resilience and Rescue— chronicles the heartwarming and epic story featured in The Times-Picayune, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Mail, ABC, CBS & NBC News. Scrim became a hero for New Orleans,..."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 is for animal lovers who empathize with the obstacles all rescues face and endure. 

Author Kaye Courington, a lifelong animal lover and advocate, shares her inspiration for the book: “I 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.”

More than just a book—SCRIM is a testament to resilience and the lifesaving power of pet rescue. In an inspiring gesture of giving back, the author  is donating 100% of her royalties to local rescues to support animals in need.

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 ix-inch snowstorm
