Here I sit inside this cage, and I've done nothing wrong,
All I want is a forever home; I've waited far too long.
I'm very sweet and lots of fun; I promise to make you smile,
Please take me home and let the shelter put my card in the 'adopted' file.
I remember a nice, warm home with lots of food to eat,
Sleeping on the sofa curled around my owner's feet.
Then one day I was in a box and placed inside the car,
We went for a drive, but it seemed unusually far.
My owner carried me to the door and rubbed my fluffy ears,
And when they drove away from me, I could see their flowing tears.
So, now I'm here, and not sure why; what could I have done,
I had someone to love me once and now I have no one.
Please look at me and see the need in my big, bright eyes,
I need you to save my life, I know you hear my cries.
I might be older, and not purebred, but I'll love you to the bone,
Just give me a chance by giving me a final forever home.
