Wombat waiting [sound recording] / Katherine Applegate.

Applegate, Katherine, (author.). Wilson, Mara, (narrator.).

Summary:

Wombat isn't actually a wombat, but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire destroys a community, someone tags her with the nickname and it sticks. Surrounded by a devastated town, Wombat takes up residence on a bench near the makeshift community center, an old brick warehouse that, for the most part, survived the flames. A small part of the community center evacuation site has been repurposed for the local wildlife rehab sanctuary that burned down. Most of the animals were spared, but the temporary quarters make for some unlikely roommate situations, including an elderly fruit bat and a young Northern saw-whet owl.
