As our rescuing continues, Paws Give Me Purpose welcomes our newest resident, adorable Teddy to Sanctuary.
Teddy is a 13-year-old boy who has just lost the only family he has ever known. He was surrendered to the shelter in the most horrible medical condition, and we just could not turn down the urgent plea for help. We just hope we were in time to give this sweetheart the golden years he deserves.
Teddy was picked up by one of our volunteers and taken immediately to the Veterinarian. He has a very serious heart condition, a diseased mouth with very few teeth, a horrid cough, as well as kidney issues. His hair is extremely matted, his spine extremely crooked and his nails were literal circles they were so overgrown.
Teddy’s medical neglect is just beyond our comprehension, and please don’t message us and tell us it’s because people can’t afford care, there was obviously never any care. To us, allowing any animal to suffer their entire life this way is inexcusable!
Immediate supportive care has begun; medications have been started and they have already begun helping Teddy feel more comfortable. He will continue to receive the expert care he needs and deserves for as long as he is with us.
Teddy is not in any physical pain, but it is evident he has been seriously neglected for a long time, and it goes without saying that we will do whatever is necessary to help Teddy feel his best and be the happiest and most comfortable he can be.
Teddy is the sweetest little boy; he has already given kisses of gratitude, and shown us how he likes to run zoomies around the room. Although Teddy is considered a hospice case to most, to us he is another beautiful special needs senior soul who did not deserve to die in a shelter.
After giving 13 years of love, loyalty and devotion to his humans, Teddy deserves to be loved and treated with dignity, and not to be tossed away like yesterday’s newspaper – he has feelings just like you and me.
