It’s my 5th birthday and I’m a homeless dog
Today is my fifth birthday, but instead of celebrating with a party or a special treat, I’m spending it in a shelter, far from the warmth of a loving home. As I look out from my small corner, I see other dogs around me, each with their own stories and dreams. The walls are lined with beds and toys, but it’s not quite the same as having a cozy spot of my own.
Five years ago, I was born in a world that seemed full of promise. I remember the warmth of my mother and the playful nips of my siblings. But as time passed, life became harder. I wandered the streets, searching for food and safety. Each day was a challenge, and every night was uncertain.
Today, as I look back on my life, I feel a mix of sadness and hope. Sadness for the moments I missed and the love I haven’t known, but hope because of the kindness I see around me now. The people at the shelter are caring and gentle. They bring us food and toys, and they always have a smile for us. It’s not a home, but it’s a place where I feel cared for.

On this birthday, my wish is simple: I hope that one day, I’ll find a forever home where I can feel the love and security that every dog deserves. Until then, I’ll cherish the kindness I receive and dream of a future where I’m no longer a homeless dog but a cherished member of a family.
