Scrim
Susan Schadt Press, LLC (Verlag)
979-8-9927413-0-8 (ISBN)
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.

Including articles from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times-Picayune and videos from CBS, NBC and Scrim’s Happy Dance and Scooby and Scrim I LOVE Mornings to experience the FUR-ever joy of Scrim finally at home.
Beyond her distinguished legal career, Kaye Courington is deeply committed to community service, serving on the boards of the LA/MS Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Louise S. McGehee School, the Newcomb Institute Advisory Council, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She brings her passion for storytelling and love for animals to her debut book, Scrim: A New Orleans Story of Resilience and Rescue chronicling Scrim’s journey through the heart of New Orleans. In a testament to her dedication to animal welfare, all proceeds from her royalties will be donated to rescue organizations such as Zeus’s Rescue and the Humane Society of Louisiana.
