(I've also put disabled whumpee under some of the links – this is a disability that isn't PTSD or I'd have it for all of them!)
Pets of the Silver Screen
In the silent film era and the early days of the WRU, young pet number 95, real name Eloise, is bought by film producer Hayes Fletcher to star in his productions. A few years later, he hires Agatha from Foster Montgomery to be her stunt double (read: to scar in scenes where it's necessary, because Eloise is too valuable), and the two young woman strike up a somewhat unwilling friendship.
Over a decade of working on- and off-screen later, it's the roaring twenties, pet liberation is starting to grow, and they're more than ready to leave. Enter Ira Waterhouse – a woman who's had just about enough of the pet industry and is willing to take in two runaways. But WRU is expanding, and running a newly-acquired safehouse in London's docklands isn't a piece of cake. Especially when the two former pets Ira's running it with are a) famous, b) wanted for burning down a film studio, and c) even more traumatised than she originally assumed...

Anita and her grandmother Indira are thrown into the world of pet ownership when Theo, a profoundly deaf unwanted box boy, is mistakenly delivered to the animal shelter Anita works at.
Meanwhile, 785, Theo's bonded, is now struggling to survive Eleanor alone.
As long as she's useful, anyway.
When 785 is refurbished and sold, meeting a defiant illegal pet named Cass along the way, she ends up living alongside a Pet who seems to know her far too well. Meanwhile, Theo discovers that the person he cares about most in the world barely remembers his existence, and Anita is in way over her head.

After being kidnapped, dumped at WRU, and shipped to the USA, Cass isn't having a good time. And then Tyrone takes him to be his ring-fighting Guard Dog, alongside Aaliyah, a Romantic he already owns. Now he's definitely not having a good time, and nor is Aaliyah. After losing everything, they need to build their lives again, but with Aaliyah not remembering her past and Cass unable to reach his, it's a challenge, even with assistance.

Following a series of scandals, WRU UK has introduced a new policy where some pets confiscated by its abuse investigation teams for will be sent to trained rehabilitators and allowed to reintegrate into society under a new identity.
A smokescreen, a sham, or WRU actually making amends — everyone has a different opinion.
Enter Maia, who's in for the shock of her life when she realises how little WRU (and her fellow rehabilitators) are who they claim to be, and Joy, her new ward and former pet, who really just wants someone to care about them who isn't being paid to. They'll settle for the cessation of their former owner's beatings though.
