Pit Bull Christmas Carol...

T'was the night before Christmas and the shelter is dark, The whole
place is silent, not even a bark. The dogs are all locked in their pens
for the night, The staff has gone home and turned out the light.

As I lay my head down on the cold concrete floor, I fondly recall the
home I had before. The family I loved, who loved me right back, We'd
share everything -- from secret to snack. Things couldn't be better at
this time last year, But that has all changed and now I am here.

I won't see the tree, the lights, or the snow, I'm scared and alone, my
spirits are low. The others like me weren't put up for adoption, A new
family and home, for us isn't an option. We've been locked up in cells
as if we were crooks, We don't deserve homes because of our looks. Not
Diesel, or Bingo, or the young one named Percy, Deserve to be loved nor
shown any mercy.

While families celebrate holiday cheer, I know in my heart that my end
is near. The vet will arrive, the lights will go on, By the time you
awake, we all will be gone. A stranger will come and take me away, I'll
never wake to see another day. As I close my eyes I'll shed you a tear,
The fondest of memories I'll always keep near.

The only thing I've ever asked of Santa Claus, Is to stop all these
unfair and ridiculous laws. You said without me, your life was not
full, So why does it matter that I'm a "pit bull"?

In my dream Santa shouts when he's finished his deed, * "MERRY
CHRISTMAS TO ALL...REGARDLESS OF BREED"!

Damn it...you do it to me everytime. I am sat here once again with tears streaming down my face. Wouldn't it be nice if "Santa" could really make all those stupid laws go away.

As the breed club exclaims, as they pull out of site- 'no support to you and not worth the fight'... "
( the breed clubs make me sick.. as they do nothing to help...)

Thank god the pitbulls at our shelter are loved as much as all the other dogs and good homes are found. Thank god the people that run the shelter know better.

That is wonderful caseysmom. Here they euthenize after the required days to keep a stray or put down when surrendered..

it's the same way here. I just love the pit bulls and pit bull mixes at the shelter where I volunteer. this sweetie is going home next Tuesday. she will be getting spayed tomorrow.


she's a pit bull/bull terrier mix and she's such a sweetheart! I wish pit bulls could find good homes but you can't save them all.
