Shelter: Lost and Found
Description
Homeless and shy teen Peggy Dillan is on the run from a secret past. After daring to save a stray dog from a tormenting gang, she finds herself running right into the Farroway Animal Shelter and into something unexpected. There she meets an eccentric group of misfits in charge of the abused and neglected animals: no-nonsense, allergy-ridden Betty; cantankerous cat lady Clara; caring animal cop Joe; and Terry—the optimistic, patient, and diplomatic warden.
Enlisted into their ranks, Peggy learns to navigate the run-down, problem-ridden shelter while searching for a way to save the stray dog, Lucky, from his abusive owner. As Peggy struggles to help save the sinking shelter, she learns it’s possible to change the world “one corner at a time” with courage and conviction.

“a wonderfully crafted story of rescue and hope, both animal and human…the story was so captivating that it was hard to put it down.”
— Cindy Carver, NetGalley Reviewer
“Ms. Conroy tells a story of humans and animals who have been abused and damaged by humans who should be incarcerated for their crimes. It was a very difficult book to read, but an important one that should be read by anyone who has the power to legislate against abusers. I’m glad I read it.”
— Judy Hartman, Librarian
