Dog Adoption: Will You Be My Fur Mommy? 

Thoughts From A Dog Living In A Rescue Shelter

Dear Future Fur Mommy,

I’m writing to you from our rescue shelter tonight. 

From the corner, I can see Bruno, an Aspin just a year older, sleeping in a cage he is sharing with 3 others. 

Our rescue shelter is full. 

Every space is taken. 

I don’t always know how we make room for all these dogs, but by the grace of God, tonight we found a way again. 

Bruno came to us tonight, exhausted, his eyelids barely able to stay open. 

He’d been trying to sleep near the subdivision gate, in the tricycle station, near the school. 

He’d rested his head on a neighborhood sari-sari store where 3 men are drowning their sadness in Red Horse.  Finishing the last kropek pulutan, they were eyeing Bruno in a queer way. 

One sneaks behind Bruno while another rushes to hold his paws and punch him in the head.  Bruno’s loud yelps and cries woke up a neighbor who begged the drunkards to let the poor dog go.

It was the kind-hearted neighbor who fed Bruno and brought him to our shelter.

We made space for him in the kennel, offered him some food, and licked the bruises he had on his paws. 

Bruno is now asleep, too tired and traumatized from the experience. 

Bruno is safe tonight because of people like you who care about rescue dogs.

For the rest of us who have been living in the shelter for quite some time, we have not lost hope.

I for one know for sure, that somewhere out there is my Fur Mommy and she is looking for me.

As long as there are people like you, I know that I will find my forever home who will treat me like family.

For now, I will be here waiting for that day when you come and take me home.

I hope it will be soon …

Waiting for you,

Snowy
