OK, hear me out. An American version of Watership Down, but instead of rabbits...it's prairie dogs. Just a bunch of prairie dogs living in the American West, and they need to flee land developers and find a new home. They have to flee a bunch of predators, cross through roads and near settlements, until they finally find a new place to settle in an empty, field (unbeknownst to them, located in a national park or otherwise protected area). Other animals come to live in and around the town, and they have to figure that out; they may have to deal with rival prairie dogs like in the original story, until fending them off using trickery and...not speed. They have stumpy legs.
I call it Watership Town. Maybe Wolf Creek Town, after the real location in Colorado? Eh? Eh? Eh, it's a work in progress.

Prairie dogs!
Prairie dogs have calls to alert each other of predators. These calls seem to differ depending on the type of predator and some other factors.
