This was a very sweet story with adorable rescue dogs, a tender love story & an interesting variety of characters. I loved it.

A great love story for dog lovers. I really like the cover. Thanks for the review copy. It was very engaging.

A sweet and adorable read, with romance and doggy’s where can you go wrong, nowhere

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Zoe loves dogs and works tirelessness at a rescue centre finding suitable homes for the dogs. Zoe and her friend who runs the centre devise a brilliant idea, encourage the people in the nearby residential home to adopt a dog. Win win. The dog has a new home and the resident gains companionship and gentle exercise. So far, so good.

When the manager of the home threatened the lives of the dogs if Zoe doesn't offer him sexual favours, I saw red. First for his suggestion. Second, that Zoe didn't protect herself by never being alone with him.

I became so angry that I couldn't read any further. DNF.

Had me at Doggo makes three. I love a book with a doggie. i really liked this book. This was a pleasant book to read and I will read more from her. Liked it all. from start to finish. pure enjoyment.

4⭐️ This was an adorable story that was centered around rescue dogs! I enjoyed the versatility of this book, not only was there a sprinkle of romance, but a dash of mystery and a bit of suspense! I appreciated Zoe’s tenacity to stand up to Mr. Graham so that they could help the local dog shelter, I also enjoyed the budding romance between Zoe and Noah, and the amount of ridiculous jokes and puns was just what this book needed! I very much enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more books by this author!

Thanks to NetGalley, Chapin’s House LLC, and the author, Lee Wheeler for this pre-approved ARC.

Thank you for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

I liked this a lot, really cute story. Recommend it.

What a sweet sweet read. I loved this book! It had dogs and romance and dogs! Lots of dogs being saved while saving the humans they are with, some truly kind and good people trying to do their best to get through the day. Zoe believes she is cursed so gives up on love for herself and only wants to make love matches for her beloved rescue pups. She meets her match in Noah. He truly is an amazing man and through kindness, some amazing food and gentle manners manages to get her to drop her defenses. It’s a truly lovely read that will have you wanting more from this dog loving author. She is so right. Life is so much better with a furry pal in it, and as a pet-mum of FOUR rescues, I can whole heartedly say ADOPT DON'T SHOP. these shelter animals we meet in this book are real, and one could become your best friend. check out your local adoption and rescue agencies for more information, and thank you to the author for addressing an issue so near and dear to this rescue mums heart. 4.5 stars.

Pulled me in
Zoe is running away from her past and has ended up in Michigan working in a retirement community and volunteering at a local dog rescue sanctuary where she meets Noah, who may be the one who can get past the walls she built up around herself
A lot of the time I liked Zoe as a character but at times I really hated her as well, she would do something and I would question why but then she would redeem herself in my eyes very quickly. She is passionate about what she does and although she has walls around herself from past hurts as she starts to let people in she becomes a much more realistic and loveable character who I very quickly adored
The book is set from her point of view and I think I would have enjoyed to see it from some of the others, especially Noah as I struggled to ‘get’ him initially because we see him from Zoe’s side only and her experiences colour her view
Almost all the characters are huge animal lovers and most of the book revolves around the work of the dog sanctuary and the projects that Zoe sets up in the retirement community such as a foster a dog programme for those who can’t necessarily adopt one which is something I totally loved. The joy that the dogs bring to people leapt off the page and I really enjoyed seeing the bonds and the changes that can happen as a result of a pet, some parts even made me cry because I was so emotionally invested in the story and the characters lives
I will admit that at times I did mix up some of the dogs (as there are a lot) but even then it still worked out ok and I was able to follow the storyline which I adored
I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a story of romance against the odds with lots of furry companions who will worm their way into your heart and whose story will stay with you long after the final chapter

A Love Story for Anyone Who Has Ever Loved a Rescue Dog

Who could resist Noah? Smart. Gorgeous. Kind. He can cook. And he LOVES dogs.

Zoe. Zoe can resist him. At least that’s what she tells herself.

It took some time and ingenuity for Noah to befriend Buster, the terrified puppy who’d been abandoned in the woods, but that effort was nothing compared to what it took to gain Zoe’s trust.

Noah tried every trick he knew, but each time he came close, she took a skittish step back. He knows everyone deserves a second chance—just like all the dogs at the shelter. He’ll give her whatever time she needs to realize he’s as trustworthy as a Labrador—which is to say that he will always come when called, always give her kisses and love her unconditionally.

In the meantime, they’ll work together rescuing dogs, and he’ll keep trying, taking slow steady steps toward her, holding out his hand, palm down, hoping one day she’ll come to him. Maybe then she’ll tell him her secrets—like what’s deal with those red cowboy boots.

Zoe delights in watching the rescue dogs learn to love and trust again, and she’s tempted by Noah, but she knows love can hurt. It takes a brave little poodle named Harriet to teach her that if you take a chance on love, you might end up sleeping on a satin pillow with yummy food for breakfast.

And Doggo Makes Three is a story about second chances and the love of dogs. Come meet Buster the GSD who was abandoned in the woods, Herman the JRT who’s smarter than all the humans, dear Lovey who’s love changed many lives and a cast of delightful dogs who will chew on your heartstrings . . . and your shoelaces—if they can find them.

Who doesn't love a book with a doggie match maker. And guess what a family be that of two people who love each other and their dog.

And Doggo Makes Three is a book about dogs and love! This is the perfect book for fans of dogs and romance books. Noah and Zoe work together the give dogs a second chance after a chance encounter. Noah wants Zoe to trust him, but she's been hurt before and is slow to trust. Using every trick in the book, Noah works on getting Zoe to put down the walls she has around her heart from the last time someone got hurt by their love.

Zoe and Noah are were made to be, they both love dogs and want to help at the shelter. This was an easy read and was writer very well. All the characters were loveable, with the exception of Zoe's, who does everything he can to make Zoe's job hard and uncomfortable. The dogs were also great, and this is a must read book for readers who enjoy romance and dogs. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a book with dogs in it?!

I rate this book as 4 🌟!

I'd like to say a huge thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I will tell you right now, I will read any book that contains a dog, has a dog in the title, or is "narrated" by a dog. Noah and Zoe work together rescuing dogs. Zoe is afraid of love and Noah is trying everything he can to get her to not be. Zoe also works at an assisted living facility with a group of characters. I instantly fell in love with this book and wish it was longer, I didn't want it to end!

I’m a huge dog lover, so when I saw this book and read the description, I knew I had to read it! And while it was cute and full of some of my favorite breeds, unfortunately I had trouble getting into the story.

At the beginning of AND DOGGO MAKES THREE, it feels as if you’re immediately thrown into the middle of things. We meet the main character, Zoe, a dog-lover from Texas now living in Michigan who works at a retirement village where she wants to implement a fostering program in order to get dogs out of the shelter she volunteers at so others can take their places. All of this is casually mentioned by Zoe and her boss, Ellie in the first chapter along with plans to parade the dogs in an annual fall festival and conversation about another volunteer who is working very hard to gain Zoe’s attention, even though she very clearly doesn’t want to date him for reasons related to her past.

The book is very dialogue heavy, and while this will appeal to a lot of readers, I personally would have liked a bit more show rather than so much tell. Because of this, the characters ended up feeling a bit flat.

However, where AND DOGGO MAKES THREE excels most is in its message that animals are precious and should be treasured, not only because their antics can raise spirits and serotonin levels, but also because they enrich the lives of those who love them and are loved in return.

I love the concept of this book. Rescue dogs and romance. Also loved the retirement home aspect. Some of the characters seemed one-dimensional and almost like caricatures but overall this was a cute, quick read.

I am always pleased when a romance/dog-lover book has more “dog” than “romance”. This one did not disappoint; I absolutely fell in love with all the characters (even the human ones!) If you enjoy reading about rescue dogs and those who campaign for them fiercely, you will adore this book! I am really hoping for a sequel, soon.!
* Thank you, Netgalley, for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are strictly my own.*

A cute romance story. Zoe left Texas, and works to help shelter dogs and elderly people. Liked this one, and enjoyed the dogs too. Did get a bit swimmable in parts, but otherwise highly recommend.

Cute story about the trials, tribulations, and joys of Zoe while she struggles with love, strays, and a bad boss. Her deepest desire is to home all of the dogs from the shelter and to get over her fear of love.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A lovely book that was enjoyable to read. I’d like to read more by the same author so will look out for some. Well done.

Oh my... I'm in love with this book. It's about rescuing dogs. Did I mention dogs? Oh a bit of romance. And dogs.
There are dogs everywhere.

This is like a second chance novel. For dogs. Oh and for the humans too. It's a romance, but you'll fall in love with the dogs too.

It's a nice pleasant read. Not hard to follow. And it's fun.

Enjoy!
