From the publisher

Welcome to the Pet Rescue Club! Zach’s mom has a new patient–a giant dog named Maxi who has been helping her owner train for a marathon. Maxi’s knees can’t handle all that running and now she needs an expensive operation! Time for the kids in the Pet Rescue Club to help! Together they find a way to help Maxi. When Janey starts a blog where people can share cute pet photos and stories, she never imagined she’d 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 can’t just sit by and do nothing… Read a book and help save a life: 5-7% of the purchase price of every ASPCA(R) (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Pet Rescue Club book goes directly to the ASPCA(R) so they can continue their mission of helping the helpless, with a minimum donation of $50,000 through December 2019.
