In appreciation of those unsung who keep all the pets they can reach alive...

Here's to the ones who feed at need -

Here's to the ones who share -

All that they can, with unstinting hand...

Here's to the ones who care.

Here's to the ones who seek the weak -

Here's to the ones who try

To save them all from that icy hall...

Here's to the ones who cry.

Here's to the ones who beg to help -

Here's to the ones who plead

To be let in before loss begins...

Here's to the ones who bleed.

Here's to the ones who break their hearts -

Here's to the ones who love -

Who aid the lost, never counting cost...

Saved lives are reward enough.

Here's to the ones who give their all -

Here's to the ones who strive

To stay the end of beloved friends :

To keep foopets alive.
