For the first time since his arrival, King got up today all on his own, and began to explore his new environment. Until today, we had been very concerned because all he has done since his arrival to sanctuary is sleep.
He also finally ate some very soft chunks of chicken and had a much needed bath. The smell, level of filth and matted hair was just unbelievably heartbreaking.
King really seemed to enjoy the warm lavender bubble bath, but due to the severe matted hair close to his skin, he will most likely still need to be shaved down. For now, he is enjoying a nap all wrapped up in a nice warm blanket.
King deserve a chance at life, to know love, to know kindness, and to see that not all humans are unkind before leaving this earth. No matter his age, or special needs, he is a living breathing animal just like us and he has value.
Our promise to King is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life.
This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose.
