Just Like Home #3: Professional Good Boy

By Erin Soderberg Downing

Walter the labradoodle is ready to find his furever home in book #3 in the Just Like Home series

The Babysitter's Club meets Puppy Place in this heartwarming and fun middle grade series about a unique animal sanctuary, the full-time family (of both human and animal variety) who live there, and the rotating stable of animal guests who will come to the farm with an injury or challenge but will leave knowing what it really feels like to be loved and cared for.

Ruby and Henry welcome their next guest when an adorable, fluffy dog has to be rehomed when his owner moves into an assisted living community.

After a short stay on the farm while they try to help ease the transition from a life the pup is used to, the kids soon discover that what Walter needs help with most is finding a way to help others. And that's not going to happen on the farm. But when Ruby and Henry get the idea to work with a local agency to train Walter as a service pup, they begin to see just how much joy he's able to bring to others.
