Dr. Cyrus Mills comes back to his hometown after inheriting his father’s failing veterinary practice. Cyrus intends to market the practice and escape city as fast as he can, however when his 1st patient-a down-on-her-luck golden retriever named Frieda Fuzzypaws-wags her method through the entranceway, life instantly gets complicated.

By using a black Labrador gifted in the art of swallowing underwear, a Persian cat determined to expose her owner’s lover like a gold digger, and the allure of a feisty, pretty waitress from the neighborhood diner, Cyrus gets swept up in a fresh community and its endearing residents, both human and animal. Sensing he might have misjudged days gone by, he begins to understand it’s not simply his patients that need healing.

The Patron Saint of Shed Dogs is a winsome tale of new beginnings, forgiveness, as well as the joy of finding the right path home.
