Please Adopt Us

T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the Shelter, not a creature was stirring — not even a mouse!

The kitties were all snuggled and warm in their beds

While visions of new homes danced in their heads.

Suddenly, all of the animals awoke with a start and started to talk

You see, at midnight on Christmas Eve, all animals can speak —

And the animals at the Shelter had been waiting all week.

So from Binx, Dolly, and Angel, Oprah, Tangerine, Woody and Alexander

Even Jack the bunny, and the guinea pigs Mocha and Piggy Sue:

“We all wish you a Merry Christmas and peace and good health.”

And from all the staff and volunteers at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard, we wish you Merry Christmas as well and thank you for all the contributions, toys, food, blankets and warm beds and the love that you give to all our dear animals.

With apologies to Clement Moore.
