Notes: Faith Lee is a 13 year old Pekingese. She was recently rescued by AAU with her 'brother' Bubby, an 8 year old Chi, after their owner died and they had nowhere to go but to the shelter. They would be happy together, but also happy with in their own individual homes. Faith Lee is in a bit of a hot mess right now - skin issues, ear infections, underweight, and some structural issues that make her walk a little funny. WE are working on everything in her current foster home and will be spayed when she is feeling better. Her blood work and x-rays looked good. She has a little heart murmur, but just needs time and good nutrition. An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms

ONE BY ONEOne by one, they pass by my cageToo old, too worn, too broken, they say Way past his time, he can’t run and play They shake their heads and go on their way A little old man, arthritic and sore It seems that I am wanted no more I once had a home, I once had a bed A place that was warm, and where I was fed Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail Who wants a dog so old and so frail? My family decided I didn’t belong I got in their way, my attitude wrong Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day The younger ones are chosen and taken away When I had come to the end of my rope You saw my face and again I knew hope You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age And felt I deserved life beyond this cage You took me home, gave me food and a bed You gently stroked my poor tired head We snuggle and play, you talk to me low You love me so dearly, and make sure I know Although I have lived most of my life with another You outshine them with a love so much stronger I promise to return all the love I can give To you my dear friend, as long as I live I may be with you for a week, or for years We will share many smiles, and a few tears When the time comes, that God deems I must leave I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve When I arrive at the Bridge all brand new My thoughts and my heart will still be with you And I will brag to all who will hear Of the person who made my last days so dear. |
