This is Pop-Tart.

Pop-Tart was eating trash out of a dumpster.
How or why he was out there on the street are still a mystery.

Pop-Tart arrived at Paws Give Me Purpose dirty, tired, full of fleas and with overgrown nails. 
We made sure Pop-Tart received much needed TLC and Vet Care.
No owner ever stepped forward to claim or look for Pop-Tart. 
Pop-Tart was obviously unwanted and unloved, disposed of like yesterday’s newspaper.
Pop-Tart had a very grumpy personality, he was a biter and not a lover of all humans.

Our hearts are shattered after discovering this morning that Mocha has crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night peacefully in her sleep.

Mocha came from a horrible past of abuse and neglect; she was a fighter and we fought along right beside her. We did everything we possibly could to help her on this journey.

In the last few months that she was here in sanctuary, she knew love and finally learned that not all humans are unkind.

Thank you all so much for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
