Today at Paws Give Me Purpose, we celebrated Angel’s 15th Birthday! Surrounded by staff, volunteers and her small senior friends, she enjoyed some pup-cakes, presents, and extra spoiling.
For those not familiar with her story, Angel was pulled from a high kill shelter and brought to Paws Give Me Purpose in June of 2019. 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, she could barely walk, and was suffering from pneumonia. It was also very obvious she had been used for breeding based on her condition. This little girl did 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.
Upon Angel’s arrival to Paws Give Me Purpose, she received much needed medical care, put on some weight by eating healthy homemade dog food and treats, took supplements and received tons of TLC on a daily basis – and continues to do so.
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. She has overcome great obstacles and today she is a happy, much healthier, 15 and feeling fabulous! There is something about Angel that brings out the best in all of us. Dogs like Angel inspire us to become even better human beings.
This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose.
Please join us in wishing our beautiful Angel a very Happy Birthday! Wishing her many more happy years here in our Sanctuary where she will be loved, cared for, spoiled, and cherished forever.
Happy birthday Angel!!!! And a wish for many more 💕🐶💕💕💕💕
