Welcome Pinto Bean

At 14 years of age and a mere 4 pounds, tiny Pinto Bean found himself behind shelter walls waiting and wondering why he was there and what happened to the only family he had given his heart to for the past 8 years. 

The scenario was beyond heartbreaking. When his family member passed away, no one else wanted to be responsible for his care. That’s when we received the plea for help. 

Pinto has limited vision, severe dental disease, as well as mild paraphimosis, a condition in which the penis is unable to fully retract into its sheath, and as if that was not enough, he has been diagnosed with B cell Lymphoma. 

Although Pinto 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. 

Some people may view hospice as giving up, as resigning to a fate. Hospice is not about giving up, it’s about focusing on comfort and giving them the best quality of life. 

We work hard to provide comfort, relieve any pain and help these precious souls in their remaining days live with dignity and respect. Pinto deserves this second chance to have good times and make only the best memories.

Yugi Update

Pictured here is Yugi. Tossed out onto the streets of Philadelphia with his brother Bandit because “they weren’t dying fast enough”.

We won’t lie, since taking Yugi under our wing things have been difficult for him but he is a fighter. As long as he is fighting we will fight alongside him because he deserves this second chance! His will to live is nothing short of amazing and he is finally healthy enough to undergo the first necessary comfort care surgery.

While we hate to ask for money, we need your support to provide Yugi and all our Sanctuary residents with the necessary specialized care.

Donations are at an all time low, and the reality is, our expenses greatly outweigh the donations we receive. We are working hard to make sure that the dogs here in Sanctuary have all their needs met and that has to be our priority!

Please consider making a lifesaving gift today. All donations help us fight to give dogs like Yugi the opportunity to live the best life possible. We cannot do this without YOU!

Miss Peggy Update

Our beautiful Miss Peggy is popping in on this marvelous Monday to say hello and show off her fabulous self. 

Special needs dogs like Peggy should not be defined by their circumstances. They are often not aware of how they may be different from other animals of their kind. Peggy may be blind, but she is first and foremost a dog. 

Since her arrival to our Sanctuary, Peggy has received the urgent medical care that she needed. She has been started on heart medications for her failing heart, and is acclimating and navigating her way around without any issues. She has made many 2-legged and 4-legged friends who love her unconditionally. She is truly thriving and enjoying her second chance at life to the fullest. 

We have no doubt that Peggy sees us, maybe more so, than a sighted dog. She may not see faces, but she can read your heart. Here at Paws Give Me Purpose, we feel inspired by the visually impaired dogs who call our Sanctuary home. They teach us to live life to the fullest, despite our challenges. Beautiful souls like Peggy show courage, strength, confidence, and faith in everything they do. 

Thank you all for the outpouring of support so that we could step in and save Peggy’s life; thank you for giving us the ability to do what we do.
