Seven Ridgeback Angels 

The brown eyes looked up pleading 

Please don’t leave us here alone 

The rescue people knew the rules 

For a mix there is no home 

But in a place as big as Texas 

There should be room for every dog on their own 

There were seven Ridgeback Angels 

At the Texas Rescue Ranch 

They were looking for a home 

That could be called their own 

A lady came from Corpus 

And took one Angel home 

Only six puppies waited 

In the hot Texas sun 

Each little Ridgeback praying 

To be the next chosen one 

A call came from Houston 

And another prayer was answered 

There were seven Ridgeback Angels 

At the Texas Rescue Ranch 

Now just five were waiting to move on 

To that home they could call their own 

Saturdays were spent at Petsmart  

Two more Angels found homes and did depart 

There were seven Ridgeback Angels 

At the Texas Rescue Ranch 

Now three still wait in the noonday sun  

They dream of who will be next, to go forever on 

What lucky family will know the joy and fun 

Of having a Ridgeback Angel of their very own. 

Many weeks and Saturdays passed 

And one by one each Ridgeback Angel 

Found the home that would be their last 

Furever, with their very own human Angel 

This story is not over 

The tail not fully told 

There are many more Ridgeback Angels 

Each still looking for a home 

Could you be the one to have and hold? 

A Ridgeback Angel of your very own?
