Briggs(URGENT)

THIS DOG WAS EUTHANIZED 9-2-08****URGENT CROSSPOSTING****......... My name is Briggs ... I'm at Levy County Animal Services ... During this "Labor Day Holiday" my life hangs in the balance! ... All I can do is wish for a "labor of love" to save my life! ... There are only a couple of empty kennels left which means when the doors reopen Tuesday morning, my time has run out! ... I sit here alone and scared, look around, and realize this will be the cage where I will take my last breath! ... I'll be placed in a bag like others before me, and disposed of as ordinary garbage! ... I'm a wonderful boy who deserves a second chance! ... If my voice could be heard for just a minute ... There is something I would say ... "One person can make a difference!"... You can make a difference in MY life! ... Please read the peom that Miss Jody posted with my story ... Maybe I will meet you soon, look in to your eyes, and say...."if not for you"......................................The next euthanasia day is on WED., SEPTEMBER 3rd at 7:30 a.m....PLEASE call the shelter if you can find room in your heart and home for Briggs....Do not email, please call (352)486-5138!............................................................................... "If Not For You".................................................I would've died that day if not for you.....I would've given up on life if not for your kind eyes.....I would've used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.....I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care.....Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted.....skin that isn't flea bitten...good food and enough of it.....beds to sleep on..... and someone to love me.....to show me I deserve love just because I exist......Your kind eyes..... your loving smile..... your gentle hands.....Your big heart saved me....................You saved me from the terror of the streets and the pound.....Soothing away the memories of my old life.....You have taught me what it means to be loved.....I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me.....I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair "Why do I do it?".....When there is no more money..... no more room..... no more homes.....You open your heart a little bigger.....stretch the money a little tighter.....Make just a little more room.....to save one more like me....................I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes.....In the best way I know how.....Reminding you why you go on trying....................I am the reason..... The dogs before me are the reason..... As are the ones who come after.....Our lives would've been wasted...our love never given.....We would have died if not for you.........................................
