A Place to Call Home

In a world of vast emotion, stands a pup so brave,

A shelter dog with longing eyes, seeking love to save.

Through the bars of confinement, a hopeful gaze does peer,

Yearning for a warm embrace, a home to hold them dear.

They've known the bitter winds of life, faced trials and despair,

But still, they wag their tails, displaying love beyond compare.

Their paws may be worn and tired, from wandering alone,

Yet their spirit remains unbroken, in the depths of the unknown.

They dream of open fields, where they can freely run,

With a family to call their own, under a glowing sun.

Their hearts ache for a gentle touch, a tender voice to hear,

To know that they are cherished, to know that they are near.

In the shelter's dim-lit walls, they patiently await,

For that special someone who'll see their worth, their fate.

For a shelter dog holds treasures, hidden deep within their soul,

A love so pure and unconditional, that can make a heart feel whole.

They may not have a pedigree, or papers to define,

But they possess a loyalty, that is truly genuine.

Their eyes reflect resilience, a spirit that won't break,

And with each wag of their tail, a thousand hearts they wake.

So let us open up our hearts, to these dogs in need,

To give them comfort, love, and care, their wounded hearts to heal.

For in the shelter dog, we find a friend so true and kind,

A companion for a lifetime, in their eyes, pure love we find.

Let us be their shelter, their guiding light and friend,

To offer them a second chance, a love that knows no end.

For in the embrace of a shelter dog, we discover love anew,

And they, in turn, remind us of the goodness we can do.

So let us not forget the power, a shelter dog holds,

To mend the broken pieces, to heal our wounded souls.

In their journey to find a home, we too find solace there,

For in the shelter dog, we find love beyond compare.
