We believe a difficult dog gives back 10 times the amount of love. Sometimes it may seem hopeless and we get frustrated more than we thought possible, but once you persevere, the rewards are greater than words.
Spirit is one of our more difficult, special needs Sanctuary residents with both medical and behavioral issues. These issues make her a more challenging dog to deal with. Just getting her to take her daily medications is a battle – is she a lot of work? In a simple word, yes. Are her Vet bills high? Absolutely. But her life matters.
For Spirit, Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary is home; a place where she has learned that not all humans are unkind and what it is truly like to be loved. Dogs like Spirit inspire all of us to become even better human beings.
This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose, and all the struggle is worth it!
