POV.... A shelter dog's thoughts

A poem from a pound dog….

Today is the day that I shall die
My life was short and I don't know why
I don't yet know that this will be my fate
the humans just stood there at my gate

And in their eyes I saw their sorrow
They told me I had no more time to borrow
My 7 days have been and gone
I'm yet to know what I've done wrong

I greeted the humans with a waggling tail
But with their resolved seemed to fail
I did not understand why they cried
They told me again that they had tried

But rescues are full and I'm on death row
and this meant that I had nowhere to go
Except from that room at the end of the block
It was only then that I took stock

I've seen others go in and never come out
And it was at this point that I had no doubt
Today was the day that I would die
And yet I still did not understand why

As they lead me kindly into that room
I knew my life would be over soon
The needle comes out and the drugs take effect
The humans hold me kindly with respect

This is the end I'm going to die
and then suddenly I understood why
I was bred without a care, without thought or reason
Only because my mum came into season

I was bred to be sold, bred for money
At first my new family thought my antics were funny
but as the days past by and the bigger I grew
Left home alone all day I began to chew

Soon they said this is not the place for me
so up went my ad onto Gumtree
Family dog free to a good home
Five months old and no fault of her own

Next the place was even less fun
Kept in a cage with no hope of a run
soon came the day of my first season
And now I was the one bred without reason

My pups were soon sold and I was alone
I really hope they have all found a loving home
Shut up in a cage alone and in the dark
For hours on end, I would just bark

Once again I became too much trouble
so up went my ad on gumtree
the double work commitments forces sale
Only 10months old its a familiar tale

The next people seemed nice at first
But it was not long before the bubble burst
In this place I was trained to fight
But they gave up on that as I refused to bite

They spoke to me as I was taken back to the crate
If you won't fight we'll use you as bait
I was chained to a post by my collar
When other dogs attacked I would holler

this life went on like this for quite some time
But I was soon told I was past my prime
I thought we might have been going for a walk
Yet in the car was no talk
​
And slowly the car came to a halt
I was thrown out the door with a jolt
I stood and watch as the car speed away
It was cold and dark and I had nowhere to stay

It was by this road that I was eventually found
And was taken away by the local pound
And here I lie as I take my last breath
I have one thing to ask as I accept my death

YOU CAN HELP SAVE OTHERS FROM MY FATE
SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR DOG BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!

Our society has a "disposable" mindset that has fostered an epidemic of people who run from their commitment to their pets. The excuses from, "I don't have time", to "he got too big, or too old" has caused rescues and shelters to be in a capacity crisis! People have to stop with the excuses that are putting their pet's lives at risk, as well as preventing rescues from helping pets who are in dire or abusive situations! Where is our society headed when people have no heart or conscience for the life they committed to caring for? 💔😡😢

Sadly true. Bred for specific tasks by humans, it is now humans who take away their innate characteristics and unintentionally abuse the breed by denying them their natural ability. 😢💔

Thank you to the caring staff of who saved Pismo from running into PCH traffic. Everyone pitched in to care for her for nearly 3 weeks while we searched for her owner. We discovered her owner of 15 years wouldn't be caring for her anymore, so we found Boston Buddies rescue to help and she will be loved now for the rest of her life. ❤️ 🐶

Help your local feral cats!! ❤️🐱🐈‍⬛

Someone sent me this poem today. Brought tears to my eyes. This is for all stray cat, feral feeders. We devote hours every single day for these cats. The picture is of one of my colonies.
"I may never be a lap cat,
Or one who comes when called,
I may resist the hand that tries to touch,
And some may think I’m flawed,
I may prefer my freedom,
To your warm and cozy house,
I may reject the bowl of finest foods,
For the chance to chase a mouse.

But the box you put out for me,
Feels safe and warm and dry,
And I raise my eyes to thank you,
When I see you walking by.
And I eat the food you give me,
And I listen to your voice,
I may never be a lap cat,
But you offer me that choice.

One day I’ll see the winter,
One day I’ll see the rain,
I may grow old not knowing,
That there is freedom from this pain.

But I know you try to help me,
And although my days will end,
I may never be a lap cat,
But I know you are my friend.
