“If having a soul means being able to feel love, and loyalty, and gratitude,
Then animals are better off than a lot of humans.”
James Herriot
Both of them were so thankful
In a home, with so many friends
Both of them, had been homeless
And their misery was now at an end
Little Jack the Dog, had been dumped
He had been starving, out on the street
His new love and loyalty, are enormous
He’s an immensely grateful pup, so sweet
Young Valentina the Cat, had been all alone
Living under a cold loading dock at a factory
She had known only loneliness and hunger
Now, every day, she purrs her thanks, to me
And both of these former homeless waifs
Have been welcomed by our other pets
All of them are still extremely grateful
They haven’t stopped thanking us yet
All of our pets are most appreciative
Of the loving home they all now share
But so many today, are not as fortunate
There are far too many homeless out there
America’s animal shelters, are overflowing
There are far too many ‘foreclosed’ pets
Who all now want a second chance at life
Who have so much love to give someone yet
Please visit the Home 4 The Holidays website
Their goal is to find a million pets a new home
If you can find it in your heart, to adopt, just one
I would truly love to read their new adoption poem
“And they will be your friend,
For always and always and always.”
Rudyard Kipling
