Here at Paws Give Me Purpose, we have a soft-spot for the underdog; when we received a heartbreaking call for help, we could not allow this tiny, 6-pound girl to die alone in a shelter. With this promise to protect her, Kit Kat is now safe here with us at PGMP Sanctuary!

Kit Kat is estimated to be 14 years old, was matted with feces, has a collapsing/bent trachea, enlarged heart, severe dental disease, a mammary mass on her chest, along with Pruritus and nickel staining of her legs. Additionally, she has a luxated patella and abnormal joint structure which contributes to mobility issues. According to the X-rays, it seems part of her knee was broken, and because she never received proper medical care it healed badly – which causes her to walk slowly with a heavy limp. 

Upon her arrival, Kit Kat received the urgent and necessary care and we will continue to make sure she receives the best Vet care possible; we never settle for substandard care. 

Our promise to beautiful Kit Kat is to provide her with a safe and loving environment for the rest of her life no matter how long she is with us, and we are committed to keeping this promise. 

With YOU by our side, we can give Kit Kat the chance to have the opportunity to live out her golden years to the fullest – she deserves this second chance to be happy, loved and cherished.

We ask that you please consider making a donation to help us with Kit Kat’s care.

On this wonderful Wednesday, adorable Shaggy is stopping by to say hello and wish you all a fabulous day.

Although Shaggy is a hospice resident here at the Sanctuary, to us he is really another beautiful special needs senior soul who did not deserve to die in a shelter.

Just when we fear the worst, Shaggy shows us just how much he will continue to fight for the life he deserves. His will to live is simply amazing!

Shaggy’s advice to us all – never give up, even when things are really tough.  

And it is clear to us that Shaggy is thriving because of all of you! Your support means everything to us and to dog’s like Shaggy. 

The month of February was an extremely busy one for us here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary- we had 7 new intakes! Please bear with us as we try to catch up on introducing them all to you.

Meet Max! He was surrendered to the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter in the most neglected condition (shelter intake photos in comments) so much so, he did not even look like the same dog! We have been told by a shelter volunteer that he smelled so badly that you could literally smell the stench through closed doors into the next room.

Max was very sick and as it turned out along with some other senior medical conditions, he suffered from a serious case of Pancreatitis. He received the urgent medical care he needed and deserved and was pulled by one of our rescue partner Remember Me Rescue NY.

The original plan was to get Max healthy and ready for adoption, but it soon became clear that he would be an extremely difficult dog to adopt out so it was decided that Max needed Sanctuary.

Max is not the lap Yorkie everyone wants him to be, while he most certainly is cute, he is not cuddly and at 12 years of age we do not expect that he will change.

Max prefers things on his own terms, is a guarder – of everything and can become quite nasty when he doesn’t get his way. He’s not a fan of sharing anything with anyone, human or dog, and requires some serious medical and behavioral management.

To date, we have been able to get him to tolerate other dogs being in his area, however he must eat his meals separately, and is not permitted on any human furniture since he can become extremely possessive and will react badly if anyone attempts to get close or remove him.

He really prefers to keep to himself and that’s ok; we can only imagine what he must have gone through in his life and it breaks our hearts.

He will be spending his remaining golden years here at PGMP, and we are turning to our wonderful supporters in order to ensure Max has everything he needs to live his life to the fullest – including his medications and a strict prescription diet.

With our medical bills climbing, and donations barely trickling in, we have had to ask ourselves how much longer we can help give the abused, neglected and the most unwanted souls a life; a chance to be loved – we truly cannot continue to do what we do without YOU!

Please consider making a donation, becoming a Sponsor or a Guardian Angel to our Sanctuary – these lives matter too.
