We are full of German Shepherd-level excitement (that means we’re jumping with joy & maybe a bit of anxiety) that Lucy’s Search for a Furever Home: A Rescue Dog’s True Story is officially an award-winner!

Told from Lucy’s unique point of view, this heartwarming tale follows one unforgettable dog’s journey from confusion and fear to belonging and love. Young readers will laugh at Lucy’s misadventures (like “fixing” freshly made beds and standing on coffee tables), learn fascinating facts about German Shepherds and working dogs, and discover that sometimes the perfect family is worth waiting for. With humor, honesty, and hope, Lucy’s story shows that being different isn’t a problem when you find people who love you exactly as you are.
Perfect for animal lovers, rescue dog families, and any child who has ever felt like they didn’t quite fit in, this engaging early chapter book celebrates the unbreakable bond between dogs and their people. Lucy’s Search for a Furever Home reminds us that every dog (and every kid) deserves a place to call home.
