Looks Don't Matter
I'm not fussy. I'll take tall, dark and handsome ~ or short, fat and ugly.
Because I know that looks don't really matter, love does.
You see, all I've ever wanted was someone to live me and let me idolize
them. To have someone to care for me and protect me. So here I am, the
love of your life just waiting for you to wake up and realize I'm here.
The bad news is that right now, I'm on death row because someone let me be
born when there are never enough homes, or because they had to move and
couldn't take me. So, these kind shelter people, who work so hard to save
everyone's lives here, are going to kill me soon.
I'd give anything to have a chance to love you before I have to die. You
can save my life and meet the love of your life at the time time. What a
deal! Hurry to your local shelter or animal control facility and look for
me.
Please, stop the senseless slaughter of kittens and puppies, nursing mothers
and adult pets in the metroplex. Neuter your pets and when you adopt a
pet, adopt for LIFE.
