when you adopt a pet  then you have a friend
some have been mistreated  take a time to mend
it will take  sometime  before they come to you
someone who is kind they never really knew

the confidence they had is no longer there
all lifes been to them is nothing but a scare
if you treat them right your pet inside will know
then eventually to you  your little friend will go

he will let you stroke him lie down next to you
start his life again start again a new
give you all his love when his trust is won
he will know for sure his new life as begun
