Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. has rescued animals that should have never let us touch them; we have held animals that stunk so bad you had to hold your breath to even get near them. We have been covered in blood as we held a dog telling them to fight through the pain, and we have gained the trust of dogs that could have taken a hand off.
We have watched miracles happen, and we have also held many as they took their last breath. We have held dogs and felt a pain run through our bodies that was so intense we could not move; all we could feel were the tears falling from our eyes.
As our rescuing continues, we welcome Betty Boop to Sanctuary. Betty is a 17-year-old girl who has lost the only family she has ever known. She was brought into the shelter by Animal Control after being left behind in her home upon her owner’s sudden and tragic passing.
This very fragile senior is lost, confused, and cries as she does not understand what has happened to her. She is a walking skeleton with a protruding spine, she is blind, and was covered in fleas at her intake. Her blood work and urine analysis revealed that she has renal disease, regenerative anemia, and thyroid issues. X-Rays have revealed an old spinal injury that never healed properly, causing her spine to protrude, hunching her over when she walks.
We made sure Betty received the immediate emergency care she needed and we have begun giving her the proper medications, supplements and diet in order to help her heal. She will continue to receive the expert care she needs and deserves!
Betty is not in any physical pain, but it is evident she has been seriously neglected for a long time, and her spirit has been broken. It goes without saying that we will do whatever is necessary to help Betty feel her best to be the happiest and most comfortable she can be.
Our promise to Betty is to provide her with a safe and loving environment for the rest of her life and we are committed to keeping this promise.
We are not going to mince words here, but our bills at both our ER Vet Hospital and our regular Veterinarians office are astronomical! This is all due to the nature of the kind of work we do. We have limited time to pay all of these bills off — we need your help, and we need it now!
While we hate to continue to ask for money, we know that in order to sustain operations and help these dogs, it is what we must do.
We ask that you please open your hearts and send your most generous gift to help us with their urgent medical care. No amount is too small.
