I Rescued a Human Today

This is NOT a Sad verse. It is a joyful one that everyone will enjoy reading!

It encourages people to consider adoption from a shelter and how important that is. Makes a great gift for shelter parents, and for someone adopting a ferret. The verse is displayed in a 8 x 10 glass frame, with silver/gold corners. Can sit on the desk, or hang on a wall. This is the verse:

I Rescued a Human Today

 Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the cages.

 I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I hung upside down in my hammock

 and stretched... not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my cage I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back. I didn't want her to know that no one had cleaned the litter box yet. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. 

As she read my information card, I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I have only the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. 

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my

shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle

 fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear

fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would

 be well. Soon my door opened and her smile was so bright that I

 instantly jumped into her arms. 

I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always

 be by her side. I would promise to do everything

 I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.   

I was so fortunate that she came to my cage. So many more

 out there who haven't been to a shelter. So many more

out there to be saved. At least I could save one.

 I rescued a human today.
