SCRIM: A New Orleans Story of Resilience and Rescue, a touching and beguilingly illustrated book that tells the inspiring story of Scrim, a terrier-mix rescue who overcame trauma and hardships and " kept going despite it all."

Written by New Orleanian Kaye Courington and illustrated by Aileen Bennett, Lafayette, Louisiana, SCRIM will be released May 2025 and is now available for pre-order.

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, author Kaye Courington is donating all 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 (including a scrimtracker.com) to aid in Scrim’s ultimate journey to his forever home, that journey recounted in SCRIM encompassed evading death at a former shelter, surviving a hurricane, two gunshot wounds, dodging a train, crossing an interstate highway, and the 2025 six-inch snowstorm.
