I am a shelter dog, waiting for the day
When someone will come along and pick me
Take me home, forever I will stay
Until that day here I am in this home
She cares for me, she took me in
Now I am no longer alone
This is not bad although she says it’s only for a short time
Why not forever I ask?
I think this house is rather divine.
I love rolling in the dirt and chasing the black cat
Snoozing the sunny days away, lying on my comfy mat
One week passed and sadly she said it was my time to go
I did not want to return to that place
I wanted this to be my home
She looked into my eyes and that was when she saw
The love that I was capable
And that was what made her sure
I was battered and broken
No spirit left in me
She wanted to restore that
She had faith in me
So off she went back to that place
She signed the forms with a huge smile on her face
She returned home and said to me
“You wont return, you don’t have to worry
Everything will be fine you’ll see.
We’re in this together, you and me”
Sharna was my very first foster dog and the very first dog that I ever adopted. She was with me for two and a hlaf short but wonderous years. She will always hold a special place in my heart and I am honoured to have know such a special dog.
This is extremely unexpected, I hardly ever write in my diary since I went to the bridge but I did write an entry for the Adopt 09 Contest recently. Thank you HQ for this honour!
Well last year I entered and mum put her everything into my entry, there is no way we could top that so this year I'll be entering in the new category.
My mum has been working with animals since she was 11 volunteering for a year at the local horse riding place. She sure did love it there but she wanted to move onto her true passion which was dogs. Mum had to wait until she was 12 to start voluneering at the shelter but before she would go with her mum to spend some time with the cats and give them some loving since people tend to pay more attention to the dogs.
Then one week after her 12th birthday she went in to volunteer for the first time and it was amazing. She loved being around all the dogs and doing things to help them even if some of the jobs were not very pleasant. She felt fantastic when she would adopt a dog out knowing they were getting their happy ending.
Over the 5 years mum was at the shelter she saw alot of things, some too cruel for words and some too amazing and happy for words. There are still certain dogs that she grew attached too and will always love. It is so great when you run into the adopted dogs with their new families and seeing just how happy the dog is and knowing that you helped that.
The happiest moment are when the dogs that have been at the shlter for over a year get adopted. There are always tears when a dog that has been in the shelter care for so long gets adopted, they are both sad and happy tears because this dog is finally getting a second chance at life.
Mum was even interviewed for the newspaper about her work at the shelter. Of course she saved Shandi, Zara and I from the shelter. Mum also recently held a contest on dogster to help raise money for the local shelter. She also takes Shandi to the Million Paws Walk every year, where all money goes to the RSPCA to help animals in need.
Now she is studying to be a vet nurse and has almost completed her first year. Now she can help save lives of animals in a different way. The clinic has a perminant "adopted" dog, she wasnt adopted from a shelter but she was saved from a life of pigging.
