| Can you imagine the life of an abandoned pet? From the day of your birth, you were all alone on the face of this earth When you are hungry and cold, not a soul in this world cared, or so you were told When your love to someone was given with joy, you were cast aside, like a worn out toy When you were hungry and needed to eat, all you could find were scraps on the street When you wanted to give someone your love, there was no one there, just the dark sky above When you were feeling ill, there was no medicine, not even a pill You cannot talk, you cannot plead, that just a little love is all you need You were confined to a 4 foot cage, not knowing you were about to die, at a very young age Then someone - a stranger - a person who cared, came to your rescue and your life was spared This stranger fed you and sheltered you and ended your grief, for the rest of your life, however brief This person will soon come to know, that your love for them will forever grow You will not lie to them, cheat them, or steal them blind, for you are an animal, and can only be kind You will love them so much for ending your strife, and protect them from harm, at the expense of your life Hopefully my friend, this will happen to you, this stranger will come calling, right out of the blue They will love you, feed, you, and care for you too, and know that you love them as much as you do And through your loving, they will learn this someday, that when its time for them to die... ...the only thing they can take with them, is what they gave away. © Walter Muharsky 1998 |
| DO I GO HOME TODAY? By Sandi Thompson My family brought me home cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me, and said I was full of charm. They played with me and laughed with me, they showered me with toys. I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys. The children loved to feed me; they gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them all snuggled in the sheets. I used to go for walks, often several times a day. They even fought to hold the leash, I'm very proud to say. These are things I'll never forget- a cherished memory. I now live in the shelter without my family. They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe. But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new. The kids and I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug. So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bedroom rug. They thought that I was out of control, and would have to live outside. This I did not understand, although I tried and tried. The walks stopped, one by one; they said they hadn't time. I wish that I could change things; I wish I knew my crime. My life became so lonely, in the backyard, on a chain. I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane. So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why. They said I caused an allergy, and then kissed me goodbye. If I'd only had some classes as a little pup, I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up. "You only have one day left," I heard the worker say. Does this mean a second chance? Do I go home today? |
| Please Remember A Pet will require a lot of time and effort and even money- Just like a human child.. If you don't have the resources to offer and to treat the animal the way it should be for it's entire life, then DON'T GET A PET. And please spend the time to train your pet because it will make your lives a lot easier in the long run. Thank you for opening your homes to a new family member- not just a new toy! |
| Help STOP animal overpopulation- SPAY AND NEUTER your pets to prevent unwanted Puppies. If you can't afford it, then you shouldn't have an animal, but in any case, many local shelters will help you in case that situation arises. There are plenty of puppies in the shelter to choose from!

| Don't Buy pets from Pet Stores- the majority of these poor beings come from Puppy Mills where the conditions are atrocious. You may think you are helping the puppy by buying him- but if you give them money, then it will enable them to continue with the horrors that we can't even imagine. Please do your part and adopt- or buy from a reputable breeder that has good intentions. |
| THE ANIMALS' SAVIOR: I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter- the cast-offs of the human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "This is terrible! Why don't You do something?" God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly. "I have done something," He replied. "I created YOU." `Jim Willis, Copyright 1999 |
