Although intake is closed here at Paws Give Me Purpose, we received a heartbreaking plea for help from our shelter partner – emergency Sanctuary placement was requested for a dog believed to be in heart failure.
We could not say no and allow her to die in the shelter as her life matters. One of our very dedicated volunteers rushed to save her at the last minute and we have taken this precious senior into our care.
Meet Izzy. At 12 years of age, this poor girl has not had an easy life, and we can only imagine her pain. Surrendered to the shelter by those she thought would love her forever, she sat and cried watching the only family she has ever known walk away. Sadly it seems the feeling was never mutual.
While our focus is always on the physical and mental healing of the dogs, we normally avoid discussing what owner surrender papers say. However, in this case we will state the most disturbing thing we read on Izzy’s paperwork – Izzy lived all 12 years of her life in a crate. Yes, you are reading that correctly. And when they would let her out of her crate she would soil the house so they would punish her by locking her back up. What was the reason for even bringing a dog into your lives?! What was the reason you even kept her all these years?! If you can’t treat a dog like family, don’t get one!
Poor Izzy is mentally and physically broken – she needs our help, and we are her only hope. She needs blood work, X-rays and an immediate echocardiogram (all already scheduled) Izzy is weak, frail and begging for her second chance!
Please help us fight to give Izzy the opportunity to live the best life possible for no matter how long she is with us. We cannot do this without YOU!
