"Todd has been working for years at the local animal shelter when he learns that it's being shut down. With his best friend, Laura, he struggles to place the animals in homes before the shelter closes, and Todd becomes torn between a dairy job close to home and a dog-trainer job three hours away, a decision that is further complicated when he realizes that he and Laura may be more than friends."--Publishers Weekly.

Description
When Todd, a developmentally-challenged 20 year-old with an affinity for animals, hears the animal shelter is looking for families to foster a dog for the holidays, he's eager to sign up. But his father, George, says "no adoptions"--Even temporary ones -- claiming he wants to protect Todd from disappointment. His wife, Mary Ann, knows better. Something else is troubling her husband -- something he doesn't want to face.
