Starlight Animal Rescue

""I've run away seven times — never once to anything, just away from. Maybe that's why they call me a 'runaway,' and not a 'run-to.'""

- Dakota Brown, Runaway

Welcome to Starlight Animal Rescue, where problem horses are trained and loved, where abandoned dogs become heroes, where stray cats become loyal companions, and where people with nowhere to fit in find a place to belong.

The books follow four protagonists, Dakota, Wes, Kat and Hank. Dakota and Hank are the horse people, Wes is the dog boy, and Kat is the cast girl. They're the adoptive kids of "Popeye" and Annie.
