Our mailbox and voicemail are full, due to non-stop requests for Sanctuary. It’s a truly heartbreaking reality in this world. It’s our honor to know each and every dog that we can say “yes” to.
Unfortunately, what’s even more heart shattering are the dogs we need to turn away. The reality is we can’t save them all, and saying no is the responsible thing to do when funds are not available.
Yesterday we had to say no to a dog who really needed us, not because we didn’t want to help, but because we couldn’t. We hoped someone else would step in to save her, but in the end, she left this world in the shelter.
We are not talking about pledges people make, because nine times out of ten we don’t receive those funds. We are talking about steady donations coming in to help with the urgent medical care needed once a dog leaves the shelter.
Every animal that comes through our doors requires immediate veterinary care, food, supplies, cleaning and sanitizing, monitoring and people to care for them.
Every dog that calls Paws Give Me Purpose home deserved so much better than to be discarded in their most desperate hours of need; that is when we as human beings should be the most dedicated and these are the dogs that are currently our priority.
We still need to make a dent in our Veterinary bills. We said “yes” when they needed us the most and now we need your help. Please consider making a donation, no amount is too small.
Today is also Wishlist Wednesday, and with donations at an all time low, these precious souls need you now more than ever!
Please consider shopping our wish lists to donate food, enrichment, and more for our Sanctuary residents – they all truly deserve this chance to be happy.
This week’s most needed items are: Pets are Kids Turkey Tail Mushroom for Dogs, Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 High Protein Dry Dog Food, Chicken, Hill’s Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin, Small & Mini Breeds Dry Food (Chicken Recipe), Clorox Free & Clear Multi Surface Cleaner, Clorox Free & Clear Cleaning Wipes, Biokleen Bac-Out Enzyme Cleaner and Stain & Odor Remover, PetSilver Immune Support, and Wahl USA Pet Friendly Waterless No Rinse Shampoo.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to all of our amazing supporters who generously sent much needed items over the past couple of weeks.
Several Anonymous Donors, JoAnn DeSalvo and SusanJo and Bob Di Donato.
On behalf of all dogs here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary, thank you for thinking of us and making our lives better.
