WE TAKE CARE OF YOU!

His eyes met mine as he walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.  I felt his need instantly and knew I had to help him.  I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so he wouldn't be afraid.  As he stopped at my kennel I blocked his view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.  I didn't want him to know that I had not been walked today.  Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and
I didn't want him to think poorly of them.

As he reached my kennel I hoped he wouldn't feel sad about my past. 
I only have the future to look forward to, and
I want to make a difference in someone's life.

He got down on his hands and knees and made funny sounds at me.  I shoved my shoulder and the side of my head up against the bars to comfort him.  He seemed so sad..... Gentle fingers caressed my neck; he was desperate for companionship.

I felt a tear down his check and raised a paw to assure him that all would be well.  Soon my kennel door opened and his smile was so bright that
I instantly jumped into his arms. 
With Gods blessings I promise to keep him safe;
to always be by his side,
and to do everything to protect him...
I will work very hard to make the grade!

I was so fortunate he came down my corridor. 

 So many more to be saved!   At least I could save one! 
I rescued a human today!

God put wonderful things inside of us all ...and we need to let them out.
