Urgent Sad Plea - QLD

MIA is a darling purebred Boxer who is needing a special person to love her for the rest of her days. Unfortunately Mia was dumped, we then found she has a lump on her back leg and she has been diagnosed with bone cancer. We are not sure how long she has to live. At the moment Mia loves going for walks and just runs around in her pen and it is so hard to believe that she has a bad leg. If there is anyone out there who loves animals and is so self sacrificing that they will endure the love and loss of this girl, PLEASE give us a call if you have what it takes to care for Mia until her time is here... its a hard ask but she is worth it.
 
Please call Peninsula Animal Aid on (07) 3284 1927 or if no answer please email

And from me: this is a hard task....to see a dog thru it's final days, BUT never underestimate how important it is for a dog in this situation to have the love it deserves. The pure love it takes. I have several whose time is limited and every day is worthwhile to them and to me.

One by one, they file past my cage

Too old, too worn, too broken, no way
Way past his time, he can't run and play
Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way

A little old man, arthritic and sore
It seems I am not wanted anymore
I once had a home, I once had a bed
A place that was warm, and where I was fed
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn't belong
I got in their way; my attitude was wrong
Whatever excuse they made in their head
Can't justify how they left me for dead
Now I sit in this cage, where day after day

The younger dogs all get adopted away
When I had almost come to the end of my rope
You saw my face, and I finally had hope
You saw through the grey and the legs bent with age
And felt that I still had life beyond this cage
You took me home, gave me food and a bed                              

And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head
We snuggle and play and you talk to me low
You love me so dearly, you want me to know
I may have lived most of my life with another
But you outshine them with a love so much stronger
And I promise to return all the love I can give
To you, my dear person, as long as I live
I may be with you for a week or for years
We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears
And when the time comes that God deems I must leave
I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve
And when I arrive at the Bridge all brand new

My thoughts and my heart will still be with you
And I will brag to all that will hear
Of the person who made my last days
oh, so dear
