After winning the lead role in a play, acing a spelling test, and finding money, second-grader Ellie wonders if the Critter Club animal shelter's newest animal--a little pink pig--is bringing her good luck.
In Dogtown, a shelter for unwanted canine and robot dogs, an extraordinary bond develops between Chance, a longing three-legged dog, Metalhead, an empathetic robot, and Mouse, their friendly ally, as they strive to find forever homes.
In rhyming text, Retriever Reg, a long time resident at the shelter, supervises the other dogs, watching while all the different breeds are adopted until only he is left--and than a final human arrives, looking for a friend for life.
On adoption day at the shelter, Buttons, a young cat, loses his nerve when it comes time to show off his talents and learns that just being himself is good enough.
