HAPPY NATIONAL PUG DAY!
This is Pancake.
Pancake is a Pug.
We rescued Pancake and his brother Waffles from a backyard breeder in New Jersey.
Dogs were stuffed into enclosures on top of one another struggling, crying and begging to get out.
Pancake was very sick, he was balding and suffered from eye ulcers; he was dragging his back leg.
We knew we had to get Pancake out of there.
The breeder didn’t want Pancake; she surrendered him to us for free, but we had to pay to save his brother.
We can only imagine what would have happened if we hadn’t taken him; the thought is too heartbreaking.
Pancake had Demodectic mange.
Pancake almost went blind.
Pancake received immediate medical attention.
Pancake was in a lot of pain.
Pancake never let his discomfort stop him.
Pancake came to Paws Give Me Purpose and we helped his body heal.
Pancake has the most resilient spirit.
He never lets anything get him down, he is always happy.
Paws Give Me Purpose was told to give up, Pancake could not be helped.
We never gave up on Pancake.
Pancake made a remarkable recovery.
Pancake learned to be a dog.
Pancake learned to trust.
Pancake learned that humans can love.
Pancake loves humans and dogs alike.
We never gave up on Pancake.
Pancake never gave up on us.
Pancake lives here at Paws Give Me Purpose and is part of our family.
Pancake has taught us many important life lessons.
To live in the moment, overcome fear with love, not hold grudges, and greet every day with optimism.
To play every day, jump for joy, to accept yourself, enjoy the journey, take time to relax, drink lots of water, take time to appreciate the small things, be loyal, dependable, and love unconditionally.
Today Pancake is almost 13 years old, has limited vision, and has lost the use of his back legs; yet he is still happy and enjoys his life to the fullest here in our Sanctuary.
Thank you Pancake for giving us purpose by showing us yours.
The very day we rescued Pancake, the Spirit of Paws Give Me Purpose was born.
Help us save other dogs like Pancake!
