straydog by Kathe Koja

Description: Rachel is happiest when she's volunteering at the animal shelter, especially after she meets the
feral collie she names Grrl; they're both angry and alone. When a teacher encourages her to write
about it, Rachel finds another outlet for her pain and frustration. But writing about Grrl is much
easier than getting Grrl to trust her. Grrl is so aggresive she may have to be euthanized. And
when Griffin, the new boy in school, devises a plan to spring Grrl from the shelter and bring her
home, Rachel finds that the dog isn't the only one who must learn to trust...
