SHIRA - Labrador mix, neutered female, 8 years approx, medium-large size
| August 17th 2010: Shira gets along GREAT with other dogs. She is heartworm negative, spayed, current on all vaccines, and microchipped. Shira and her eight puppies were filthy and infested with ticks and fleas when they were rescued. She finally has a chance to live for herself, to be loved and protected. She is a sweet and loving dog, who cowered when she first came in and now jumps for joy when it is time for a walk. Please find it in your heart to give this beautiful girl who has been through such a hard life, a loving place in your home. Note: Shira's eyes are not blue and they do not glow in the dark! Area: Miami, Florida. Please e-mail sfr2@dogrescues.info for more information about this dog. |
Too old, too worn, too broken, they say
Way past her time, she can't run and play
They shake their heads and go on their way
An old dog, arthritic and sore
It seems that I am wanted no more
I once had a home, I once had a bed
A place that was warm, and where I was fed
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn't belong
I got in their way, my attitude wrong
Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day
The younger ones are chosen and taken away
When I had come to the end of my rope
You saw my face and again I knew hope
You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age
And felt I deserved life beyond this cage
You took me home, gave me food and a bed
You gently stroked my poor tired head
We snuggle and play, you talk to me low
You love me so dearly, and make sure I know
Although I have lived most of my life with another
You outshine them with a love so much stronger
I promise to return all the love I can give
To you my dear friend, as long as I live
I may be with you for a week, or for years
We will share many smiles, and a few tears
When the time comes, that God deems I must leave
I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve
When I arrive at the Bridge all brand new
My thoughts and my heart will still be with you
And I will brag to all who will hear
Of the person who made my last days so dear
