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

Hi everyone, it’s me, Angel!
I’m just popping in to let you know how I’m doing.
What do you think, am I looking better?
I love all the people here at Paws Give Me Purpose.
They are taking very good care of me.
I am slowly making new doggie friends.
I have finished taking all my medications, but the people here have me take supplements every day to help keep me strong and healthy. I take them every day, even though some of them taste yucky.
My pneumonia is all gone now so I can enjoy time playing with the other tiny Sanctuary residents.
I pretty much love everyone here, but there is one other Chihuahua that doesn’t seem to approve. I need to try and win her over; do you think it’s possible?
I’m still very fragile and not very active, but when I am feeling up to it, I love to run around the grass and play.
I eat several small meals a day, and really LOVE all the homemade food and treats. I do however prefer to be hand fed, bowls are not my thing.
Being 14 years old, I have many senior issues along with issues stemming from my over-breeding and neglect; I am even to fragile to spay, so I will be living my life out here at Paws Give Me Purpose.
I am told that I am beautiful and loved every minute of the day.
And that everything will be ok.
For the first time in my life I am really starting to feel safe and loved. I hope this feeling lasts forever.
My body, soul and heart are healing.
Paws Give Me Purpose says they will never give up on me.
But I 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!
Love, Angel

Angel was pulled from a high kill shelter and brought to Paws Give Me Purpose this past June. Her owner of 14 years had requested to have her euthanized.

Angel was clearly neglected, a walking bunch of bones, with overgrown nails, urine stained feet, no teeth, could barely walk, and she was suffering from pneumonia. It was very obvious she had been used for breeding and most recently we discovered she may have been debarked as well. This little girl does not even know how to play with toys – we can only imagine what her life must have been like.

The shelter staff saw a light of life in her eyes and there was no way they were going to follow through on the euthanasia request.

Angel has received much needed medical care, has put on some weight by eating healthy homemade dog foods/treats, takes supplements and receives tons of TLC on a daily basis.

Angel is a fighter and we never gave up on her! We too have seen that special light in her eyes, and a clear will to live and enjoy her golden years to the fullest.

Angel has overcome great obstacles and today she is healthy, 14 and feeling fabulous! Please help us to help other dogs like Angel. There are many just like her that deserve a second chance at life, and we cannot do this without YOU!
