Prayers For Snickers

Today we are asking for all our staff, volunteers, followers, and supporters to help us pray for Snickers as he heads for an ultrasound later this morning. 

For those not familiar with his backstory, Snickers was abandoned twice at the same shelter by those he had considered his forever family. While we do not know the exact reasons stated for his surrender, it doesn’t make his story any less heartbreaking. The second surrender almost cost Snickers his life!

One of our devoted volunteers happened to be at the shelter picking up another pup in need when they noticed this sweet boy and were told he had just 2 hours left to live. She quickly sent us a text, and our hearts immediately said yes.

Snickers had a host of medical issues and he has received the urgent emergency care he needed and will continue to receive the medical care and rehabilitation he deserves. Unfortunately, the results of his blood work and urine analysis did not look very good for a dog his age. His kidney and liver values are both very high, and in combination with the fact that he is a bilateral cryptorchid, meaning his testicles did not descend, sadly causing the concern that he may have cancer. 

Although the original plan was to neuter Snickers once his testicles were located by ultrasound, we are now having to do a more thorough ultrasound to rule out cancer. 

Through love, compassion and caring, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. creates a safe Sanctuary for dogs like Snickers where they can take all the time they need to heal mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

If for whatever reason we are unable to go ahead and neuter Snickers, no matter the outcome, we will continue to give him his best life daily with unconditional love for the rest of his life!
