A Rescue Dogs Christmas Story
 

Tis the night before Christmas
and all through the town,
every shelter is full,
we are lost but not found.

They'll come to adopt us,
and give us a call,
"Come here Max, and Sparkie
Come fetch your new Ball!"

But now we sit here and think
of the good old days,
when we were treated so nicely
because of our young puppy ways.

Once we were little,
but we grew and we grew,
Now we are no longer young,
and no longer "new".

So out the back door
we were thrown out like trash,
our owners reacted so quickly,
why were they so rash?

We, "Jumped on the Children",
"didn't come when they're called"
"They bark when we leave them"
and "climb up the wall".

We should have been neutered,
we should of been spayed,
now we suffer the consequence
of the error THEY MADE.

If only they'd trained us,
if only we knew...
we'd have done what they asked us,
and worshipped them too.

we were left in the backyard,
or worse left to roam
now we're tired and lonely,
and left without a home.

They dropped us off here
and they kissed us good bye,
"Maybe someone else,
will give you a try."

So now here we are,
all confused and alone,
in a shelter with others,
who long for a home.

The kind workers come through,
with a meal and a pat,
but with so many of us here,
they can't stay for a chat.

They move to the next kennel,
giving each of us a smile and some cheer,
we know that they worry,
how long will be here.

We lay down to sleep,
and sweet dreams fill our heads,
of a home filled with love,
and our own comfy beds.

Then we awake,
our eyes full of tears,
seeing our friends filled with
emptiness, worry and fear.

If you can't adopt us,
and there's no room at the Inn,
Could youhelp bay the bills,
and fill our food bin?

We count on your kindness
each and every day of the year,
can you give more
than just hope to all of us here?

Please make a donation,
to help pay for the heat,
it might also help us,
get a special Holiday Treat!

The shelter that cares for us
wants us ALL to live,
and more of us will...

If more people give.



Please support your local shelter.
