Sanctuary can be defined as a place of peace, refuge or safety, a place where people/animals can live and be protected. This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose; we treat every dog that comes through our doors with excellent care, compassion and love. When our dogs play in the play yard, you can see them finally let go and feel free for perhaps the first time in their lives.
When a 21-year-old dog comes to Sanctuary after living a life of criminal neglect and deprivation for so long watching him play like a puppy makes all our struggles worth it. Calvin is learning what it is truly like to be loved, and that humans can be kind.
We brought Calvin and his brother Hobbes to Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary because no one else stepped up to help them during their time of need. Sadly, dogs their age and condition have little opportunities, but we believed they deserved a second chance to have the life they should have had all along.
Our promise to these beautiful souls is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of their lives. We are making sure that Calvin is truly enjoying his golden years to the fullest and is spoiled as he should be.
