Need help finding a book title

[Beachball]

When I was a student in middle school in the 90's, I discovered a book in the school's library about a teen girl finding a young deer and wanting to keep it for a pet so she made a pen in the woods and kept the deer in it. Near the end of the book, the deer gets shot by someone the girl may or may not have known but the shot didn't kill the deer. The girl finds the wounded deer and I think she shoots it because it had lost too much blood to survive. Could someone please let me know if they know the book's title?

It isn't The Yearling, is it?

That sounds like the Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings to me, but it is a young boy that adopts the fawn, not a girl.

Yeah it does sound like The Yearling.

Hi, guys. I'm pretty sure I found the book's title. I was searching again on Google and came across a book called "Cross Creek" and it turned out to be about teen girl raising a deer and naming him Flag. The book is written by the same author of "The Yearling". Thank you, guys, for trying to help.
