Members of our writing group recently volunteered at the Central Kentucky Regional Humane Society. Here are the pieces they wrote to encourage the adoption of some of the animals.
A Second Chance
By Savannah Dodson
They can’t hit back. They can’t ask you to stop. It just isn’t
their fault. They can’t change the situation. They are just… stuck. Who are
they? Animals. Behind those beady eyes some have a story you couldn’t imagine.
A select and lucky few get an outlet, a way out, of a world of hurt. The humane
society. They take in the unwanted, and save the unreachable. My favorite
animal there? Wakina. A little dog with a warm heart. His story was among the
most desirable. No abuse involved, but still sad. His family was foreclosed
upon and could no longer care for Wakina and his buddies called Luna and
Sophie. Thus, the cuddly animals found refuge in The Humane Society. Now the
lap-dogs are welcoming anyone into their heart. They need a home, you got one.
I see the connection, don’t you? You should adopt Wakina.. or, well.. any
shelter dog. You could give them the second chance they most certainly
deserved.
Jan
By Cheyenne Grow
Shelter animals are amazing!
They may seem mean or smell. They are really cool! JYou should adopt Jan.
She is a small, black and white dog. She’s really sweet, likes long walks, to
be held and to be petted. You should adopt this amazing animal. Once you get to
know her, she will love you forever. Please adopt her and give her a great
home!!!!!!
Bitsy
By Kayla Lawson
The humane society is an inspiring place
that has animals like cats and dogs. There were some amazing stories about how
the animals came to the humane society and they really touched my heart. Out of
all the animals at the humane society one animal caught my eye the most. It was
a dog named Bitsy. She had tan fur and a little white spot on her chest and her
front paws were white, too. She was a really playful and happy. She likes to
give you licks in the face and she’ll hop in your lap. Her story was that her
owner put a wire on her tail to make it shorter. That’s why her tail is
crooked. After I got to know her I got to walk her; actually, she kind of
walked me. She had an enormous amount of energy. I fell in love with Bitsy the
moment I met her. Even though her story wasn’t as harsh as the others, her story
did have a meaning. You should really take action in adopting her. I promise
you will not regret it. So take action and adopt her today.
Sissy
By Maria Gonzalez
You should REALLY adopt Sissy because she is a very
loving dog but she is very shy. She is a little Chihuaha and has soft white
fur. Sissy’s owner was 91 and passed away. The Humane Society took her in ever
since. Sissy needs to trust you first
before she lets you pet and hold her. After she trusts you she becomes really
friendly and cuddly. She makes a great cuddle buddy because she is small, has
fur that is really soft like a cloud. That’s why you should adopt Sissy.
Luna
By Trinity Visconti
Do you want the best dog ever? And don’t say you
‘Aren’t a dog person.’ Cause that’s just…. No. It’s not acceptable. It’s
Hurtful. Well, anyway… If you want the best dog ever, like seriously, you must
get Luna. She is like the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. No joke. And she will
love you till the end. All she wants to be is held and loved. You want to know
her story? Her little human family got foreclosed upon and couldn’t keep her or
her two little friends named Wakina, and Sophie. It’s sad. Sophie and Luna are
like identical twins. And Wakina…… he’s like the grumpy old grandpa. Or
great-grandpa… But he is a happy, grumpy, old grandpa. I know it’s confusing.
But it’s true.… It’s their little family and they got moved to the Humane
Society. You want to know what breed she is? Well…, I can’t tell you that because
I don’t know. But she is the adorable kind if that’s any helpful to you. Okay.
I’m done…… haha. No. I’m not done. I forgot to ask you something…. Your gonna
adopt Luna. Is this clear? Okay. Now I'm done. Bye.
Sophie
By Oceana Pruden-Scott
The humane society was awesome. There were so many
dogs and cats there. One animal that I loved was Sophie. Sophie is a medium
sized dog. Her hair color is light brown. She also has dark brown eyes. This dog
is protective too. She is a very good walking dog. She has a sister named Luna
and a brother named Wakina. Sophie and her siblings ended up in the humane
society because her owners were foreclosed upon. She is a fun-loving dog.
Sophie is the perfect dog for anyone. Anyone would be lucky to adopt this dog.
Sophie is up for adoption so adopt her before anyone else does!
Luna
By Darien Rizzi
I think you should adopt Luna because she is a super sweet and
loves to play fetch. She is a small,
orange dog who can and will sit on your lap.
She also has a pack of Sophie and Waken.
Luna is fun to play with and can and will play with kids of any age and
adults. Also Luna might, sooner or
later, lick you. If you’re looking for a
dog you can play with and love then pick Luna up today. If you are looking for
a pet that just wants to be petted and play with anything you can dangle in
front of it. Then get a cat, they also have cats.
