A RESCUE DOG TALE
A rescue dog will have a tale to
tell
It may be sad, or of a life of Hell
It may be a story of a once loved
pup
Who found herself homeless when a
marriage broke up
...
Or a faithful companion, who's
owner's passed on
And the poor little dog doesn't know
where they've gone.
Or of a dog that’s been beaten,
never had the chance to ‘live’
And yet gain his trust - he’ll have
so much love to give.
A pup that grew out
of the cute, cuddly stage,
Has grown big and unruly and is now
at ‘that age’
So he gets given away, it’s such a
shame
When it’s the lack of training
that’s really to blame.
Some rescue dogs may
be quite old
Just need a nice home, out of the
cold
A warm cozy bed, for weary old bones
No dog should spend it’s last days
on it’s own.
Rescue dogs can be
misunderstood
Often seen as damaged goods
But a ‘pre-owned’ dog has much to
offer
And compared to a pup, can be far
less bother
A rescue dog may not
know how to play
But a little bit of kindness should
show them the way.
Some rescue dogs will have great
credentials,
Others show promise and heaps of
potential.
Some need guidance,
to learn how to trust
For others, some training will be a
must
But what you put in, you’ll get back
tenfold
A loyal friend, with a heart of gold
He may be pure, cross
or mixed breed
But one things for sure-he’ll be in
need
Of a loving home, a new 'mum' or
'dad'
Surely with this, he'll stop being
so sad.
A rescue dog is a
breed apart
Please find space for one in your
heart.
