The Rescues: Finding Home (The Rescues #1)

Finding Home is book 1 in the warm, confidence‑building early reader series about rescue pets learning how to belong in a new family. 

Told in short, accessible chapters and supported by full‑color illustrations throughout, the series is designed to help beginning readers build fluency while exploring themes of friendship, kindness, and home.

In Finding Home, shelter dogs Moose and Bear are patiently waiting to be adopted. While at the shelter, they become fast friends—and when Cathy decides to take them both home, their new life begins.

As they adjust to unfamiliar routines and a new family, Moose and Bear discover what it really means to belong, and their friendship grows stronger with every small step forward.

Gentle and reassuring in tone, The Rescues will appeal to readers who enjoy classic early reader series like Henry and Mudge, with relatable moments, short chapters, and lovable animal characters.

The series is perfect for emergent readers and continues with The Rescues: Best Day Ever (The Rescues #2).
