His fragile body tells a story of long-term neglect and hardship; we have no way of knowing how long he has struggled or how long he has endured pain with no relief. Starved, a walking skeleton, organs in failure, matted hair, brought into the shelter after being found stray. There was little to no hope for survival sitting in a kennel so when our shelter partner reached out for help it was an immediate yes and off to the emergency vet he went.
Some said precious Benji was too far gone, that he should be euthanized right away. Our Vet Team gave him a full exam and was prepared for that outcome if needed, but Benji had other plans. He rallied, and showed us just how very much he wants to fight to live – his life matters and he is now out of the hospital and here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary where his 24/7 care will continue.
His blood work looked scary, but we are hopeful for this soft soul to bounce back so he can enjoy his senior years to the fullest. While Benji may have a long road of recovery ahead of him, the worst days of his life, being starved, unseen and uncared for, are behind him.
Benji will never go without care again! He has been made comfortable, on a strict feeding schedule, receives daily fluids, is taking his medications and supplements like a champ and is slowly but surely gaining some weight. He has even had his very first dog meet/play group and really enjoyed himself.
Every moment from this one forward will be filled with nothing but kindness and dignity for Benji.
Please help us give Benji the continued care he needs. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help change Benji’s life.
