Here at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc, we have a soft-spot for the underdog. Last Sunday, Paws Give Me Purpose welcomed Wendy into our hearts and Sanctuary. This beautiful girl almost lost her life because she was considered too old and too sick for anyone to want her.
Wendy is an 11-year-old, one-eyed beauty, who is actually blind in her one eye. A Yorkie mix who was surrendered to the shelter with some pretty serious medical issues. While she is technically considered a hospice case to most, to us she is another beautiful senior soul that has some special needs.
Wendy does not know she is any different than any other senior dog and we treat her just like all the rest; through love, compassion and caring. She is a very sweet, happy, easy going girl showing no symptoms. You’d never even know she isn’t 100% healthy as nothing seems to bother her. All she wants is to climb up into a lap and get all the love and affection possible. She truly enjoys being spoiled, and every dog here is seriously spoiled daily so why shouldn’t she have that too.
A complete medical workup has revealed that in addition to being blind, Wendy suffers from prominent cervical tracheal collapse, a heart murmur, an enlarged liver, is in stage 2 renal failure, and has very few teeth that are ravaged with dental disease.
Quality of life above all else is very important to us here at Paws Give Me Purpose, and It goes without saying that we will do whatever is necessary to help Wendy feel her best and be the most comfortable she can be.
We have discussed treatments with our Veterinary team and Wendy is taking necessary medications, supplements, some homeopathic remedies as well as fluid therapy which will be done here with us by her side 3 times a week. Ensuring optimal hydration is the single most important aspect in treating insufficient kidney function. Due to Wendy’s age, and obvious fragile medical state, these are the best treatment options for her at this time.
With you by our side, we can give Wendy the chance to have the opportunity to live out her golden years to the fullest – she deserves this second chance to be happy, loved and cherished.
No dog should die alone in a shelter simply because they are no longer wanted by those who were supposed to love them forever. Our promise to beautiful Wendy is to provide her with a safe and loving environment for the rest of her life no matter how long she is with us, and we are committed to keeping this promise.
We ask that you please consider making a donation to help us with Wendy’s care. If anyone is interested in sponsoring Wendy’s lifetime care in Sanctuary, please reach out to us directly.
