I’ve been in the shelter for 7 years, today is my birthday and I’m still waiting for my foster parents to come and take me home ‎

Posted on August 1, 2024

Emma was a golden retriever, her coat once a radiant gold, now dulled by the harsh realities of shelter life. Seven years had passed since she’d arrived, a lifetime in the confines of a kennel. Today, her seventh birthday, was a stark reminder of her solitary existence.

She remembered the day she was brought in, a young, hopeful dog full of life. But hope, like a balloon, had slowly deflated over time. The familiar scent of disinfectant, the echoing barks of her kennel mates, and the distant hum of the shelter had become her world.

She’d watched countless dogs leave the shelter, their tails wagging with excitement as they embarked on new lives. Each departure was a bittersweet reminder of her own unchanging reality. People came and went, their eyes scanning the rows of kennels, searching for something, perhaps a puppy, or a dog that matched a specific image. But never her. She was too old, too ordinary in a world that craved novelty.

As the day wore on, a sense of despair washed over her. She curled up in her kennel, her tail tucked between her legs. The world outside, with its promise of freedom and love, seemed a million miles away. She dreamt of a home, of a soft bed, of the warmth of a human touch. But when she woke, reality was a harsh slap in the face.

Another day had passed, another birthday marked by solitude. Emma was a survivor, a creature defined by resilience. Yet, in the depths of her weary heart, a flicker of hope remained. Perhaps, just perhaps, tomorrow would be different.
