| Well I walked right in the front door
|
| Started moving down the rows of so many cages
|
| All the faces staring back at me
|
| Each and every one with a sad story
|
| I wonder how they got here, where did they come from
|
| Somewhere somehow someone didn’t want them anymore
|
| I paused at cage number 23
|
| As a dog with a sad but hopeful face was looking up at me
|
| I said I’ll take you home someday, but not today
|
| And if not by me, by some other family, I’m sure
|
| Hang tight my little friend while I figure it out
|
| A better life waits for you just around the bend
|
| Hang tight my little friend while I figure it out
|
| Just wait for me and you’ll soon be free
|
| Every year, approximately 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters
|
| nationwide. |
| Sadly, over 2 million of these precious animals are euthanized
|
| before anyone comes to give them a home. |
| Together, we can change these tragic
|
| statistics
|
| In Cage 23 and beyond — they’re waiting — waiting to offer their unconditional
|
| love, their loyalty, and a bond that can’t be put into words. |
| Will you make
|
| room in your home, and in your heart — to change not only their life — but very
|
| likely, yours too…
|
| So when I finally found the time to take him home with me
|
| I walked back to find an empty cage 23
|
| They said nobody came to rescue him
|
| His time ran out, I’m sorry he’s gone
|
| Oh how I miss that special soul in cage 23… |
