I know that this site is for when you have lost your loves ones (PETS) But I would like to remind you all that there are thousands of animals that need good homes.

Pets are a gift from God...They give you so much unconditional love, just LIKE God!

Please try to keep your hearts open in your time of grief and try to do something good in your pets name.


The Meaning of Rescue


Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed,
I'd like to open my baggage,
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry,
So much to regret.

Hmmm...Yes, there it is, right on the top,
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my perch hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave,
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.

Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things,
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage,
Will you still want me?

Here is another really good one for all the homeless animals...Just because they didn't "Belong" to anyone was not their fault...

Frown >^..^< Frown



This is a prayer for little paws
All up and down the land,
Driven away, no friendly voice
Never an outstretched hand.

For weary paws of little beasts
Torn and stained with red,
And never a home and never a rest,
Till little beasts are dead.

Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way
Of all the little weary paws
That walk the world
today.

Please remember....The love of a pet is so VERY SPECIAL....You can keep that love living on by adopting a new family member (Pet) as soon as you feel you are able to.

Peace be with you Always!

Also...The Meaning of Rescue can mean two things....You give a pet a new home....And they "Rescue" you from your loneness!

Once again, I wish I could take credit for writing them, but I can't.

I just look for things to express how I feel...I don't have that talent.

All I do is share and try to remind everyone that in the end it is really up to God, and we have to trust in Him.

Here is a poem for stray cats.....


" Prayer Of A Stray"

Dear God please send me somebody who'll care!

I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair.

My body is aching, it's so racked with pain.

And Dear God I pray as I run in the rain,

" That someone will love me and give me a home.

A warm cozy bed I can call my own

My last owner neglected me and chased me away

To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.

But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold.

And I'm afraid that I'll never grow old.

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones

While I run in the streets just looking for bones!

I'm not really bad God, please help if you can.

For I have become just a "VICTIM OF MAN!"

I'm wormy Dear God and I'm ridden with fleas and

All that I want is an owner to please!

If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good

I won't run away and I'll do as I should.

I don't think I'll make it to long on my own,

Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,

Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die!

And I've got so much love and devotion to give,

That I should be given a new chance to live.

So Dear God PLEASE, PLEASE answer my prayer

And send me somebody who WILL really care...



Adapted from John Quealy Prayer of a Stray

Here is a poem that will really touch your heart!!!


To Love Again

Oh what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate,
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter warmth and food?

For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny,
While she, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.

She scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed,
She ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day she died.

So if you really think, oh cat
I'd willingly relive all that,
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well don't just stand there - come on in!
