“FOR PETS’ SAKE”

 

                                                            Words & Music by Dotti Holmberg-Waddell

                                                                       

Verse 1:

Too many cats and too many dogs

Too many to find a home

Too many born…it’s out of control

So many must die, starve and roam.

 

            We need to face the reality

            There’s too many cats and dogs

            Of 27 million born each year

            Now 10 to 12 million are gone.

 

Verse 2:

Make up your mind, it doesn’t cost that much

It’s sad to see them suffer.

If not a licensed breeder, get your pet fixed

To spay and neuter is the answer.

 

            What a cruel thing for us to do..

                                      Not caring for our nation’s pets…

            They need food, shelter, and a lot of love

            And an annual visit to the vet.

 

Verse 3:

Have a little heart, smarten up today

Look at all their faces

You’ll know it’s the right thing to you to do

Don’t rely on euthanasia.

 

            Spay your dogs and cats right away

            Ask others to do the same

            For the sake of the pets, get involved

            Don’t just sit around and complain.

 

                        Bridge:

Kill the crisis, not the animal

                        Out of sight, out of mind

                        It’s not humane, and it’s not kind.

 

R epeat Verse 1

 

Speaking:     For pets’ sake, let’s work together

                        To solve this major crisis

                        Volunteer some time, educate others…

                        It’s humane and it is kind

                        For pets’ sake
