I’m Roman… and I’m asking you, with everything I have left, to please give me a chance.

My face is a little more gray now, and my body doesn’t move like it used to. The shelter has been hard on me… I try to stay hopeful, but each day gets a little heavier.

I’m not asking for forever… just for a little more time.

Time to feel the warmth of the sun on my back again. Time to enjoy a good meal without stress. Time to rest somewhere soft, where I feel safe. Time to be loved… and to love someone right back.

With a little help for my aching joints, I know I could still have good days ahead. Days where I wag my tail, where I feel peace, where I remember what it’s like to belong.

It’s not my time yet… I’m not ready to go.

And when that day does come, I don’t want it to be here, alone and afraid. I want to be surrounded by those I’ve come to love… by gentle hands… by someone who sees me, and stays.

Please… just a little more time.

If you have room in your heart or your home—for a quiet companion, for a soul who just needs comfort and care—please choose me.

I’m Roman. And I’m still here… hoping.
