The Babysitters Club-with dogs! The beginning of a new paperback original middle grade series about friendship and family. The Roxbury Park Dog Shelter is in trouble-and it's up to Kim to save the day! Kim is great with dogs. She's the only person who can get her neighbors' dog, a sweet but lazy Basset Hound named Humphrey, to go on his daily walk, and she makes it look so easy that her brother calls her "the dog whisperer." So she can't wait to start her seventh-grade volunteer project: working at the Roxbury Park Dog Shelter with her best friend, Sasha. But then Sasha invites her new friend, Taylor, to volunteer with them. Kim's not sure their perfect duo will survive turning into a trio. Even the shelter's newest resident, an adorable floppy-eared puppy named Popsicle, can't cheer her up-and feeling left out is the least of her worries. The dog shelter is running out of money, and it may have to shut down. Kim is determined to save it. But this may be a problem even the dog whisperer can't solve...
