Yesterday, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. welcomed Oscar into Sanctuary.
Oscar was rescued from ACCT Philly. According to his paperwork, he was surrendered by his family who said they loved him; this same family put in a request to euthanize due to being “too old, sick, and not wanting to play anymore”.
Oscar just turned 18 years old in June. He arrived at the shelter matted, with feces on his feet, long nails and out of breath.
The shelter Veterinarian has diagnosed Oscar with collapsing trachea which is causing coughing and gagging as well as a grade 1-2/6 systolic heart murmur.
His physical exam also revealed severe dental disease, nuclear sclerosis of the eyes and ulceration of one of his eyes. His owner reported upon surrender that he was having seizures, but so far none were observed.
Despite not feeling well and being very confused about where he is, Oscar is extremely loving, sweet, and enjoys attention.
He will see our Veterinarian as soon as possible and will receive the expert medical care he deserves.
We will never really know everything about Oscar’s life, but we do know that we will make sure his remaining years are filled with nothing but love and happiness.
We know that things are difficult for many of you out there, but we cannot do this without your support; so if you are in the position to do so we ask that you please make a life saving donation today! No amount is too small!
