Notes: Carter was found in a business parking lot in Ruckersville so we will never know if he found himself stray or if he was dropped. He was checked for microchip which he had but came back to a family (out of state) who had given him away many years ago. Then later finding out he was originally adopted from a shelter (in another state) which was overcapacity and did not want him back. Carter had to remain on a stray hold just to make sure no one was looking for him. He is now about 8 years old and deserves to live his the rest of his years in a loving home. Carter is a Hound/Pit mix that weighs about 55 lbs. We were told that Carter would be best in a home being the only animal. We know that is going to be hard to find as he is an older boy that wants his own people. Carter keeps his kennel clean while being at the shelter and loves going for walks. He has been neutered and is UTD on his shots. His adoption fee is $95 cash or check.

ONE BY ONEOne by one, they pass by my cageToo old, too worn, too broken, they say Way past his time, he can’t run and play They shake their heads and go on their way A little old man, arthritic and sore It seems that I am wanted no more I once had a home, I once had a bed A place that was warm, and where I was fed Now my muzzle is grey, 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 wrong Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day The younger ones are chosen and taken away When I had come to the end of my rope You saw my face and again I knew hope You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age And felt I deserved life beyond this cage You took me home, gave me food and a bed You gently stroked my poor tired head We snuggle and play, you talk to me low You love me so dearly, and make sure I know Although I have lived most of my life with another You outshine them with a love so much stronger I promise to return all the love I can give To you my dear friend, as long as I live I may be with you for a week, or for years We will share many smiles, and a few tears When the time comes, that God deems I must leave I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve 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. |
