Shelter dog

I'm a shelter dog, trapped in this place.
I hope someone falls in love with me soon, 
I'm next in line to be put down.
I've been here forever!
It's not my fault I chew on stuff I'm not supposed to, 
I never get any toys.
I bark a lot, trying to say
Get me out of here!
I look like a bad dog, don't I?
Well, I'm not.
just because I don't get enough exercise,
I pace around,
Just because I don't get enough food,
I'm technically skin and bones,
If I was a puppy, people would say
Isn't he cute?
But no, I'm older, full-grown.
Just another shelter dog,
That's who people say I am,
I wish someone could see
the good side of me,
but no.
Just because
I don't get enough food,
don't get enough walks,
don't get enough space,
don't get enough love,
just because,
I'm a shelter dog.
