"Sofia has wanted a dog for as long as she can remember. When a litter of puppies is born at the local animal shelter, Sofia's mom says they might be able to adopt one--but only if Sofia proves she can take care of a puppy. Sofia thinks puppy care will be a piece of cake. But then one thing after another goes wrong"--Back cover.

"[Lety Mu?oz] loves volunteering at the Furry Friends Animal Shelter . . . When the shelter needs a volunteer to write animal profiles, Lety jumps at the chance. But grumpy classmate Hunter also wants to write profiles--so now they have to work as a team. Hunter's not much of a team player, though. He devises a secret competition to decide who will be the official shelter scribe. Whoever helps get their animals adopted the fastest wins. The loser scoops dog food. Lety reluctantly agrees, but she's worried that if the shelter finds out about the contest, they'll kick her out of the volunteer program. Then she'll never be able to adopt Spike, her favorite dog at the shelter!"--Provided by publisher.

"Declan O'Brien always had a gentle word to share, odd phrases he liked to repeat, and songs to sing while he played basketball. His favorite song was Dona Nobis Pacem, 'Grant Us Peace.' His family loved him deeply and always knew they were loved in return. But a terrible accident one day changes their lives forever, and Fiona and Finn O'Brien are left without a father. Their mother is at a loss. What words are there to guide them through such grief? At the suggestion of their friend Luke, Fiona and Finn volunteer at an animal rescue shelter, where they meet two sweet dogs who are in need of comfort too. Perhaps with time patience, and their father's gentle words in their hearts, hope will spark once more"--Jacket flap.
