“Perfect to read on the beach.” –The Boston Globe

A burned-out veterinarian takes a much-needed beach vacation, where a charming surfer makes waves in her love life, and a unique foster pup renews her passion for her work.

 
Exhausted veterinarian Morgan Pearce is feeling overworked and under-thanked, so when two favorite clients ask her to watch their special needs senior dog in their Nantucket home, she jumps at the chance for a summer break. She hopes her time on the island will be a reset from the stress of her everyday life, but her chill vacation vibe takes a hit when she gets roped into fostering a challenging, anxious dog and helping plan the local rescue group’s glittery annual fundraiser.
 
Her trip starts to feel more like a vacation when Morgan begins falling for Nathan Keating, an irresistible entrepreneur who thinks every problem can be solved on a surfboard. Just as the summer is shaping up to be the magical refresh she needs, thanks to a fling that feels like the beginning of something real and Hudson, the foster dog who reminds her how much she loves her job, a visit from her estranged brother and the discovery of who Nathan really is changes everything. Morgan finds herself at a crossroads, trying to determine if mistakes from the past must define the future, or if she should forgive, forget, and grab hold of a chance to finally rescue herself.

Praise for this book

"This book was a page-turner. The characters were so real and their problems so relatable, I was cheering for them through every twist and turn. Timely topics like career burnout and the long-lasting effects of childhood hurts were balanced by dogs and sun and surf. I didn't want this charming summer in Nantucket to end, but this is one of those books that leaves you with a sense of joy and hope long after you've read the last page." - Caro Carson

"I was happily caught up in Dog Friendly from page one. The dogs are adorable, of course, but there are very real and weighty issues for Morgan and Nathan to face and overcome. Readers are there, with them, watching the sunset from the sandy dunes, holding our breath as Hudson struggles with anxiety, and falling in love--the kind that lasts. Victoria Schade delivers an easy-breezy read, balancing emotional punches with warm fuzzies--for the humans and their canine compatriots." - Sasha Summers
