A Single Moment

Simply enjoying something as essential as the sunshine can be so exciting for the dogs who call Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary home. Before coming to us, many of them had never seen sunshine before. We are a special place where they finally learn to feel safe, learn that not all humans are unkind, and what it’s truly like to be loved.

With the beautiful sun shining bright through our windows, Dot, Elmo, and Socks decided it was a good day for indoor snuggling and sunbathing together. In fact, Dot and Socks have decided Elmo is the mattress, but he really doesn’t seem to mind.

The work we do here at times can be very difficult, emotionally daunting. And just when you feel like giving up, you see a small moment like this that brings tears to your eyes, a smile to your face. A single moment that makes everything we go through here worth it.

The love and gratitude these special needs pups give back is immeasurable. 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.

All the pups living here in Sanctuary thank YOU for your continued support and for giving us the ability to do what we do.

Welcome Lola

We were recently alerted by one of our shelter partners about a girl in dire need of help and just knew we had to step in. Little Lola was found abandoned on the streets in horrible condition; she was filthy, matted, has a large matted mass of hair hanging off her and severely matted feet. 

We have no idea what this little girl has been through, and just the sight of her is beyond heartbreaking. She deserves so much better – love, care, dignity, and we will give her the chance she deserves.

We could not let her down! She clearly has been through too much, and she needs us. We said yes to providing her with Sanctuary and our volunteer rushed to immediately pick her up from the shelter. 

Lola is now safe with Paws Give Me Purpose but her journey has just begun. Her life matters and we will do everything in our power to provide her with everything she needs and deserves.

All we know right now is that she is estimated to be 12+ years of age, has a severe heart murmur and her little face is sunken in because she is missing most of her teeth. She will need complete vetting, including a visit with our cardiologist for an echocardiogram. 

We can see first hand just how much she really wants this second chance more than anything – but we cannot make it happen without YOUR help. 

Please help us fight to give Lola the opportunity to live the best life possible in her remaining years. We cannot do this without YOU!

The Best Gift

On this Thankful Thursday, our beautiful little Sanctuary resident Gertie says hello. Gertie has lived here in Sanctuary for almost 2 months now and despite facing health challenges, she has an amazing spirit. 

Gertie is a very happy, spunky, little girl who has a great appetite, enjoys playtime with the other dogs and a nice lap to sit on. She does tire easily and frequently naps, but once she gets up she is ready to get moving once again. 

Her favorite pastime is snacking on gullet sticks, and because she values them so much she also hoards them under the mattress. No one can get near her bed, not human, and most certainly not other dogs unless she’s off doing another activity. And once we are done cleaning and changing all the bedding, she starts her collection all over again.

Simply enjoying something as simple as a gullet stick is one of the best moments in Gertie’s life that might have never been. 

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