Many of you have been reaching out with concern for us after seeing the extremely bad storms we endured here in Southern New Jersey last night.

It was indeed a very bad storm, many trees and power lines are down and most of our area is without power – including the sanctuary.

Please know that all the dogs here is sanctuary are safe. We are working very hard to keep them comfortable and happy. We have a few volunteers who will stay here 24/7 with them and we have purchased a generator this morning so we can run the AC for the dogs.

Thank you all for your concern, and we apologize that we cannot respond to everyone individually at this time as we wait for the power to be restored. The estimated time of repair is unknown at this time.

As always your support and prayers are needed, we are nothing without all of you!

Hi everyone, it’s me, Paco, one of the Paws Give Me Purpose tiny Sanctuary residents. I’m just stopping in to let you know how I’m doing.
My life has been a very difficult one, I lived in a very dirty house, with many other Chihuahuas; we were severely neglected and mistreated. We barely had food and the house was covered in our own filth. My owner was a hoarder. My siblings and I were in very bad shape, but thankfully we were rescued.
Unfortunately, not all of my siblings were strong enough to survive, I was one of the only ones that made it.
Thanks to the enormous amount of TLC and expert medical care here at Paws Give Me Purpose, I stayed strong, and fought my way back to health. They never gave up on me.
I would love to say that I love all the people here at Paws Give Me Purpose, they are taking very good care of me. But I truly only like one human, my actual rescuer.
I have been trying for a long time to like other people, but I am just afraid they will hurt me. 
I am slowly making new friends, but can be very untrusting, and have bitten many times out of fear. Due to my difficulty adjusting to new people and environments, it was decided living here in the Sanctuary was the best thing for me.
For the first time in my life I feel safe and loved. I hope this feeling lasts forever. 
I do love other small dogs, I guess because I grew up with so many siblings, but, I never knew a human touch, a human kindness, a humans love, so people are just not to my liking. 
I LOVE the homemade meals and treats I get to eat daily; but most of all I love sharing a blueberry muffin with my humans. They are delicious! What dog could resist? 
Paws Give Me Purpose says they will never give up on me, and I will never give up on them.
Thanks to them I truly have everything I need to live a full happy life, but still need your prayers, love and support too. Please don’t forget me and all the other sanctuary pups here. We are nothing without all of YOU! 
Because of you, I am alive today, because of you I have a home here and people who love me. 
Please help give Paws Give Me Purpose the ability to continue to give me and the rest of the Sanctuary pups the best life ever. 
Help them continue their great work so they can help more pups just like me that need a special place to live out their days feeling safe and loved.
Love, Paco
