Petunia's Second Chance

I was looking at dogs needing to be saved,
As I scrolled by your picture I think it waved.
Reading your sweet face,
You could see you wanted someone’s sweet embrace.
The decision was quickly made to give you a fresh start,
But how to get you here played a huge part.
Countless hours spent to save your precious life
Trying our best to save you from your strife.
Ups and downs were all around,
But I knew we couldn’t let you down.
Trying every possible way,
To give you many more days.
We hadn’t given up yet,
But were things looking down? You bet!
Finally at last it all came together,
Despite even the gloomy weather.
You had to endure 3 legs of a trip,
But it was worth it to get the “get out of jail free” slip.
Scared and shy were you first of all,
Then you warmed up and had a ball.
Happy for your brand new chance,
You’ve got plenty of time now to prance.
Here’s a shout out to all who helped you,
Its thanks that is very much due!!
