As she gets to know all of the dogs, it becomes clear to Laura that each dog has a sad story to tell about how they ended up there. The dogs themselves try to remain hopeful about their situation - even though adoptions are few. Laura then strives to find a way out of the shelter for all of the dogs - even as its future is threatened by a cash-strapped city government and the dogs remain trapped in an uncaring system with an uncertain future . . .
