I Rescued a Human Today

Western Plains Animal Refuge adopt a dog

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peeringapprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew Ihad to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn'tbe afraid.

As she read my kennel card, I hoped she wouldn't feel sadabout my past. I only have the future to look forward to, and want tomake a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and madelittle kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head upagainst the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck;she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her check and Iraised my paw to assure her that all would be well.adopt a cat Western Plains Animal Refuge animal shelter humane society no kill shelter

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that Iinstantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. Iwould promise to always be by her side. I would promise to doeverything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

Iwas so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are outthere who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved.

Atleast I could save one.
