THE PIECES OF MY HEART
by Jim Willis
Our paths will cross for only a short time,
but while you are in my care I will be devoted to you.
If memories of your former life are painful, I will help erase them.
No longer will you hunger and I will help to heal your wounds.
If your former life was good, I will promise you a better future.
One day our time together will come to an end and you will go off to your
new home, healthy, happy and healed.
As a parting gift, I will give you a piece of my heart to remember me by.
I may shed a tear....not for my loss, but for your gain. Perhaps our
paths may cross again for a fleeting instant and I will be comforted by
the auroa of love that surrounds you.
There will always be a bond between us, though we walk separate paths
through this life. After we reach our heavenly reward, our paths may cross again.
You may try to return the piece of my heart with thanks for all that I did for you.
I will tell you to keep it and thank you for showing me I could be better
than I thought I could be, and that I learned in giving came the greatest gifts.
The pieces of my hearts are like grains of sand They are pulled along a
current beyond our control until they come together and form a safe haven.
I, like you, came to understand what it meant to be saved.

We have a large selection of dogs and some cats too that are looking for their forever home. Will you be that home for one of them? We place our companions in homes where they will become part of the family, to love and be loved.
As we are a No-Kill Sanctuary, any animal that we receive into our program is provided a warm, friendly home where they can thrive until they are placed into their new forever home. We believe that every animal is adoptable.
We reserve the right to do a home visit and background check on anyone interested in our dogs, specifically the Pit Bulls, Mastiffs & Rottweilers.

Tray’s Poem
Written by: Leslie Whalen 2/01
One by One, they pass by my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past his time, he can’t run and play.
Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way.
A little old man, arthritic and sore,
It seems I am not wanted anymore.
I once had a home, I once had a bed,
A place that was warm, and where I was fed.
Now my muzzle is gray, 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 was wrong.
Whatever excuse they made in their head,
Can’t justify how they left me for dead.
Now I sit in this cage, where day after day,
The younger dogs get adopted away.
When I had almost come to the end of my rope,
You saw my face, and I finally had hope.
You saw thru the grey, and the legs bent with age,
And felt I still had life beyond this cage.
You took me home, gave me food and a bed,
And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head.
We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low,
You love me so dearly, you want me to know.
I may have lived most of my life with another,
But you outshine them with a love so much stronger.
And I promise to return all the love I can give,
To you, my dear person, as long as I live.
I may be with you for a week, or for years,
We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears.
And when the time comes that God deems I must leave,
I know you will cry and your heart, it will grieve.
And 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.
