Special Hearts

Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. does not rescue for politics, fortune, or fame. We give the abused, neglected and the most unwanted souls a life; a chance to be loved, cherished and to learn that not all humans are unkind. 

The work we do here is not glamorous nor is it for the faint of heart, but it is truly the most rewarding part of canine rescue to us.

We are a licensed, State of NJ, no-kill, cage free Sanctuary. All of the dogs in our care live in a home setting. At Paws Give Me Purpose, care is provided 24/7. Our mission, to provide a bridge of care that supports senior, hospice and special needs dogs so they can live their lives to the fullest for no matter how long they are with us. 

We work closely with our Veterinary team to maintain a good quality of life for our Sanctuary residents and while we may often deal with heartbreak, helping dogs who no one else stepped up for during their time of need – the lives of those who otherwise would not have been is a part of our purpose.

Our days are filled with back-breaking hard work, painfully dry and cracked hands, moments of happiness, sadness and every emotion in between. In truth, this is emotionally painful work and truly takes people with special hearts. 

100% of all donations, big and small, goes directly toward the care of our Sanctuary residents; no one here gets paid, and not one penny is used toward operational expenses including maintenance of the building – we pay for all those expenses out of our own pockets. 

Although our staff is dedicated and knowledgeable, extra helping hands and hearts are necessary for the important work in which we are involved and our volunteers are the best of the best – some of the most special people in the world. How could they not be especially when the dogs that come through our doors are extra special themselves.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” – Elizabeth Andrew

Pictured above is one of our newest Sanctuary residents Chester. And although we have not had the chance to formally introduce his arrival, we can tell you he is so very special and deserving of this second chance at life. Stay tuned for his official arrival post. 

Terrific Twelve 

Surrounded by her human and doggie friends, our beloved Sanctuary resident Spirit celebrated her 12th Birthday in style!  

Spirit’s will to live is simply amazing, and every second of the day she is here with us is a gift.

Please join us in wishing Spirit a very Happy 12th Birthday! 

Ten Times The Love

Here at Paws Give Me Purpose, we believe a difficult dog gives back 10 times the amount of love we give.

When things become a bit more difficult – we work harder to give them their best lives daily, unconditionally.

For Spirit, PGMP is home, a place where she knows she can just be herself. At this time, Spirit is going through some new medical challenges; she has lost back-end mobility and has recently been diagnosed with a cancerous sarcoma. We will do everything in our power to make sure she’s comfortable, happy and has only the very best Vet care possible – including a set of wheels to help her get around.

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose.

For those who are able, we ask that you please make a donation to help us with Spirit’s ongoing medical care. We cannot continue to provide any of this valuable care without you!

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hers.

Meet Grover

Meet Grover, a super senior (well over the age of 15) and our newest resident. He arrived yesterday after our friends from the Voorhees Animal Orphanage reached out for help. 

Our goal is to provide respect and dignity to all beings, no matter their age, appearance or health status.

While Grover’s history is a mystery, we do know that his condition is abysmal, pointing to medical neglect. He is blind and one eye is bulging and ulcerated, his body is emaciated and he has severe dental disease; his mouth smells like death. 

Since his arrival, Grover has been resting and decompressing, he has a very hearty appetite – which is a great sign and our Vet team is already scheduled to come out to see him along with several other of our residents.

We need YOUR help in order to give this precious boy everything he needs, including only the very best Vet care; we never settle for substandard care. We just hope we are in time to give Grover the golden years he deserves.

Please open your hearts, help us fight to give Grover the opportunity to live the best life possible in his remaining years. We cannot do this without YOU!
