Chester Pupdate

Little Chester is popping in to say hello and give you all with quick pupdate on how he’s doing.

Chester’s sutures have been removed! His body is healing well and he can now urinate and 💩 like a champ. He is definitely more comfortable and able to just be himself and enjoy this second chance at life.

That good news said, the biopsy results were unfortunately bad news; Chester’s tumor came back as an aggressive Seminoma – testicular cancer. Because it was so large and so close to his penis it had to be removed in 2 pieces, therefore margins were not the best.

We will be starting Chester on some homeopathic remedies and supplements and keep a close eye for any signs of tumor regrowth.

If Chester had been neutered when he was young this would not have happened and if the tumor had not been allowed to grow for years, margins would surely have been better and he would have not suffered for so long in unnecessary pain and discomfort.

But this is why Chester is here with us and will receive only the best care; we never settle for substandard care.

Our promise to Chester is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life for however long he is with us.

With all of YOU by our side we will make it happen! Thank you for giving us the ability to do what we do.

Roxie Update

We have many updates to share, so today we would like to address all the comments and messages inquiring about little Roxie. 

First, we would like to thank you all for your outpouring of love and support for our fragile girl – we could never do any of what we do without YOU! 

Roxie is continuing to receive medicated baths every other day. She is currently receiving supportive care; fluids twice a day, B12, and nutritional supplements. She has received a Convenia antibiotic injection to help heal her destroyed skin. Eye medications have helped to reduce the swelling in her eyes, one eye does have an ulcer and we are of course treating that as well. 

We are offering a few small meals throughout the day but she does not have much of an appetite yet. It is our hope that once she feels better physically she will eat more. 

All that said, Roxie does spend most of her time resting, has made some doggie friends that she enjoys cuddling with, and is showing us her strength, resilience and how much she wants to live this second chance at life. Together with your help, we are working hard to make it happen. 

Our promise to Roxie is to provide her with a safe and loving environment for the rest of her life, for no matter how long she is with us. 

Meet Roxie

Found outside in a bag, this tiny senior girl was discarded like a piece of garbage. Her eyes swollen, crusted shut, scabs and sores all over her skin hidden by matted hair full of feces. Her frail body tells us a story of horrendous abuse/neglect. 

When the shelter reached out to us for help we immediately said yes – how could we not.

We have named this precious soul Roxie and she is now safe here at Paws Give Me Purpose! 

The heartless individuals who dumped her are still out there somewhere. It’s just unfathomable the unnecessary cruelty that people can commit and then walk away. Have we as human beings lost our ability to care?

Roxie’s life matters – she is a living being just like us with feelings and should have been treated with kindness, compassion and dignity!

Roxie is emaciated, she has a body score of 3/9. She has been shaved down, is receiving medicated baths and the urgent medical care she needs and deserves. 

Both her spirit and body are completely broken; we only hope it is not too late to help her and give her this second chance to live the life she deserved all along. 

Please help us pick up pieces of her broken heart – we cannot do this without YOU!
