"Brite Star Ranch has always been a safe place for animals, but more and more keep arriving, and space is running out!”
Missy asked, "I love that animals know they can come here, but we need to make sure we can take care of them all!"
Sam said, "We need a plan!"
Nana nodded, "Every good rancher knows that caring for animals means thinking ahead."
"Taking care of animals means making sure they have enough food, space, and shelter. Mr. G and Tom are always working to keep the ranch running.”
Tom said, "We need stronger fences to keep everyone safe."
Mr. G added, "And more food! These critters eat a lot!"
Harley barked in agreement while Lucky wagged his tail.
"The girls decide to help by building extra shelters for the animals.”
Brooke said, "Pass me the hammer!"
Whit groaned, "This is hard work!"
Missy replied, "Yep, but the animals need us."
Clover and Biscuit nuzzled their new shelter, happy to have more space.
"Hard work makes you thirsty, but Nana always knows how to help!”
Nana smiled,
"Building for animals is a big job! You all deserve a break." Ken said, "Thanks, Nana! But we still have more to do."
"Some animals, like Whiskers the cat, find their own cozy spots to rest.”
Missy
laughed, "I think Whiskers has the right idea—he made his own bed!" Whiskers purred in response.
"But as the ranch fills up, Missy starts to worry about food.”
Missy asked, "We’re
almost out of food! We need more supplies if we want to keep helping animals."
Sam frowned, "But food costs money… and we don’t have much."
Whit suggested, "What if we sell something to raise money?"
"The 4 Sisters come up with ideas to raise money for the ranch.”
Ken said, "A

Brooke added, "Or a petting

talk to Mr. G and see what he thinks!"
"Mr. G listens carefully and smiles.”
Mr.
G said, "You girls are smart. If we work together, we can make this happen!" Missy cheered, "So… let’s do it!"
"That night, Missy feels hopeful. They still have work to do, but with a little help, Brite Star Ranch will stay a safe place for all animals.”
Missy whispered, "Goodnight, Star.
Tomorrow, we make a plan!" Star neighed softly in response.
"The next morning, the girls got to work spreading the word.”
Sam
said, "Let’s make sure everyone knows about the fundraiser!"
Brooke added, "I’ll post it online, too!"
Missy grinned, "With
the whole town’s help, we can make this happen."
"When the big day arrived, people from all over came to support Brite Star Ranch.”
Nana smiled, "Look at all these wonderful people helping out!"
Mr. G nodded, "This ranch isn’t just about animals—it’s about community."
Missy beamed, "And together, we can make sure Brite Star Ranch is always a safe place for animals."
"At the end of the day, the girls counted up their earnings.”
Ken cheered, "We
did it! We raised enough money to buy more food and supplies!"
Missy smiled,
"This is just the beginning. We’ll keep working hard to make Brite Star Ranch the best home for every animal."
