✦ Synopsis

Animal shelter manager Tyra Haines is absolutely committed to the pets under her care. Despite having limited resources and staff, her boundless compassion and patience make her good at her job. But when the county decides to drastically cut the shelter's funding, the lives of her beloved animals hang in the balance. Tyra is ready to do whatever it takes to save her shelter and the animals she loves.

Software engineer Jackie Keppel took the plunge and adopted a child from the foster care system. Seven-year-old Mia is a sweet girl, perceptive and smart. But she's old enough to know she can't just trust anyone, and Jackie struggles to connect with her. Remembering her childhood dog, Jackie takes Mia to adopt her own, determined to give her the love she never received from her own parents. But when they arrive at the shelter, Jackie meets beautiful, easygoing Tyra, unearthing feelings she thought she'd buried—feelings of being attracted to women.

Jackie finds herself returning to the shelter again and again just to see Tyra. When she learns about the budget cuts, she finds that she's invested in both the shelter and the passionate woman who runs it. But can Jackie overcome the legacy of her parents' bigotry? And can Tyra find a way to save the lives of the shelter pets?
