A Shelter Dogs Poem

Once upon a time, you see there was this little pup
For reasons unbeknownst to me, his family gave him up
 
Maybe it was chewing everything that he could find
Maybe they were busy and just didn't have the time
 
They took him to the shelter and they just left him there
Outside, alone, in the cage shivering and scared.
 
Even though they knew inside if he went through those doors
He may never have the chance, to find a home like yours.
 
He sat there crying silently, wondering what he did
That was so bad that they just had to leave him like they did.
 
However fate was smiling on that little pup that day
Because a lady saw him, and she whisked him right away
 
He got a second chance at life that others may have not,
And now he's in a loving home with everything he wants
 
Every day he gets that love that he was looking for
And silently is thankful for when she walked through that door
 
Others may not have this chance, so open up your heart
And adopt a shelter dog to take and give a brand new start
