Today, Paws Give Me Purpose welcomed beautiful Buttercup into Sanctuary.

Buttercup is a 15 and 1/2 year-old Yorkie who was surrendered to the shelter with some pretty serious medical issues.

Yorkie 911 Rescue pulled Buttercup to safety, they felt it would be best for her to spend her remaining golden years in Sanctuary – and how could anyone say no, just look at her!

While she is technically considered a hospice case to most, to us she is another beautiful senior soul that has some special needs. 

She will be seen by our Veterinary team as soon as possible. We will make sure she receives the expert medical care she needs and deserves.

Stay tuned for Buttercup’s complete bio coming soon.

One of the most amazing things dogs show us is that, no matter how much suffering or abuse they’ve gone through, is their resilience and ability to move forward in their lives with just a little bit of love and care.

For Lazarus, Paws Give Me Purpose is home. He is not bitter or angry about what’s happened in his past, he never looks back, he enjoys every moment. To him, today is a good day, and that’s all that matters.

Dogs are truly one of the most forgiving species out there, and that’s just part of what makes them so very special. We humans could most definitely learn a thing or two from them.

For Abbie, Paco and Minnie, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. Sanctuary is home; a place where they have learned that not all humans are unkind. They now know what it’s truly like to be loved.

The love and gratitude these special needs pups give back in return is immeasurable. They love spending special quality time outside with our very own star cookie baker and resident “chihuahua whisperer”, Camden. These three can not give up the opportunity to snuggle up to their favorite staff member in the sunshine!

Simply enjoying something as essential as the sunshine is one of the best moments in the lives of these dogs that might have never been.

Dogs like these inspire us to become even better human beings. Because of supporters like you, we have been able to give all the dogs living here in Sanctuary at Paws Give Me Purpose the best gift possible, a new life.
