These kind of go together. Three books from the children's series Wild at Heart
by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Homeless
Sunita: Socrates is missing! We've looked everywhere. But instead of finding
Dr. Mac's cat, we found a pack of feral cats-hundreds of them, living outside
in the wild, foraging for food. Homeless. Dr. Mac says that they're meant to be
wild, but I don't think anyone would want to live like that. I can tame them
and find them homes. I know I can.
Say Good-Bye
Yum-Yum is an amazing therapy dog. He visits cancer patients at the children's
hospital and cheers them up with his tricks. But Dr. Mac has just found a tumor
in his mouth and wants to do a biopsy. Cancer? It just can't be! Who will cheer
up the kids at the hospital if Yum-Yum has to say good-bye?
Trickster
David: I've just got to ride that horse. Trickster, I mean. It was love at
first sight when I saw him. Mr. Quinn made an emergency stop at the clinic.
Trickster's horse trailer had been hit on the highway. Dr. Mac treated his Leg,
but he needs time and care before he can run again. Maggie says pigs will fly
before I get to ride him, but I have a plan. Since I'm already shoveling manure
at Quinn's Stables, I'll watch over Trickster and help him get better. I'll
show Mr. Quinn that I'm responsible enough to ride Trickster. Just wait and see.

"I want to be successful like everyone does, but through my idea of success. I
don't just mean that I will make a lot of money and be known for what I do, but
that I make a difference in someone's life."
