A Special Day at the Shelter

Visiting the Shelter

Today is a special day. I went to the pound, an old home for stray pets. Every one of them has a story, and they deserve another chance. There were rows and rows of animals begging me with their eyes as I walked past. All of them yearned to be found and taken back home by someone who could love.

Finding a Friend

There he was, of all the little paws shaking behind iron bars. The stare, staring at me quietly and invisible in his kennel. He was a small brown and white dog. I immediately felt his kind spirit While the other dogs barked and bounded around, he just sat there quietly yet with a knowing smile. I felt a connection, I knew he needed me.

A Moment of Choice

I bent down to his level and held out my hand. He smelled my hand and wagged his tail half-heartedly. I felt a burst of happiness at that moment in my heart Miga was asking me to know more about him. A shelter worker walked up to me and said, “His name is Max. He told us the story of how Max had been found wandering around alone, terrified and also famished. My heart ached at his story. I so badly wanted to give him the love and security he needed.

Bringing Max Home

Since the day I have known Max, he became a new best friend of mine. I completed the forms and so, it started that I bring him home. The worker smiled and said, “Congrats to you. I felt happy and excited. Max would no longer be alone. He would have a family.

Today was truly special. I met someone else that needed a friend, and I am glad to be able to help him have another chance at living his life. Me and Max are excited for us to begin our new life together of love, laughter!
