A Dog In A Rescue Home Looking For A Home

The poem is narrated by the dog. He's searching for a permanent home and telling his future owner how loving, well behaved, and undemanding he is. He explains his basic requirements i.e. needing walks, love, food and water plus a few toys and the love and devotion he gives back is tenfold. This poem could also tell the future dog owner his/her responsibilities should they be seeking to have a dog. This poem could be helpful if hung up on the wall of a rescue dogs home! Enjoy!

A very moving poem. Since my dog died last year a number of people have suggested that I might find a dog to replace her in a rescue home. Best wishes, Ann

A Home Of My Own

Published by Family Friend Poems December 1, 2023 with permission of the Author.

All I want is a home of my own
I'm not too demanding you'll see
A bowl of food, the occasional bone
And I promise I'll be good company

All I want is a home of my own
Away from concrete, metal bars and noise
A bowl of fresh water, a daily walk
A warm cozy basket and maybe some toys?

In the past I've been abandoned, neglected
And unkind words have often been spoken
I've been left all day with nowhere to play
No toys and a basket that's broken

Could you be my master and my best friend?
I promise to give you affection and loyalty
Could you be the person on whom I depend?
I promise to treat you like royalty

I have no choice who chooses me
But I hope they'll be considerate and kind
This rescue home has been a sanctuary
But it's a home of my own that I have in mind
