This sweet, touching play loaded with monologues explores the special connection between abandoned animals in need of homes and foster children who often feel alone in this world. 

Tender-hearted Michelle fosters four dogs and one cat.  Social worker Isabelle is the house parent at a children’s home to four children and teens.  As Isabelle starts regularly bringing the young people over to Michelle’s to play with the animals and bonds are formed, it’s clear to see just how beneficial these special relationships are for both humans and animals.  Teenaged Anna doesn’t have a family to take care of her; the dog Petey was left on the side of the road.  Jasmine fears she will stay in foster care because of the color of her skin; the feline Eve knows that black cats don’t get adopted.  Brother and sister Harmony and Blake hope they’ll stay together just like Mo and Tucker, two little dogs who grew up in the same home. 

Top-selling playwright Kendra Thomas beautifully gives everyone — human and animal — a voice to tell their story, and a monologue for each character gives each actor a moment in the spotlight.
