ASPCA kids

Starting a blog where people can share cute pet photos and stories, Janey receives a heartbreaking photo of an abandoned dog and enlists the aid of her friends to start a pet rescue club, in a story based on a true ASPCA rescue.

"While out walking a dog one day, Adam notices a shaggy, lonely pony standing by herself in a field, without food or water. When he continues to see her day after day, he realizes that this is another case for the Pet Rescue Club--four animal loving fourth graders who come together to help animals in need in their suburban home town"--Provided by the publisher.

"Zach's neighbors just had a new baby--and now they're threatening to take their cat, Hallie, to the animal shelter. The kids have been volunteering there since starting the Pet Rescue Club, and they know an older cat might have trouble getting adopted. Can they convince the family to give their kitty another chance--or maybe find someone who truly appreciates all that an older kitty has to offer?"--Provided by the publisher.

"When Janey starts a blog where people can share cute pet photos and stories, she never imagines she'll receive a heartbreaking photo of a skinny, abandoned dog. She calls on her friends Lolli, Zach, and Adam to help--and that's just the start! When these animal-loving fourth graders discover how many animals need help in their suburban hometown, they just can't sit by and do nothing"--Provided by the publisher.
