About
Paws Give Me Purpose Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) Sanctuary located in Southern New Jersey. Our mission is to provide a bridge of care that supports senior, hospice and special needs dogs so they can live their lives to the fullest.
We believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at life – especially those that need care, love, and understanding.
