Soul Crushing Loss

We have some extremely devastating news to share – our beautiful Lily has gained her Angel wings. 

Without any sign or warning, Lily collapsed, had a seizure, and left us way too soon. What makes this loss even more soul crushing is that Lily was not even ready for us to love her. 

Since she was found as a stray and taken to the NYC ACC, her history was a mystery, but we can tell you she was afraid and allowed very limited human contact; we can only imagine the horror she must have endured in her life which caused her to be so fearful of humans. 

Our team is extremely heartbroken; we were all looking forward to getting to know Lily and watch her flourish and shine with the other senior pups here in Sanctuary. It is extremely difficult when we only have a short time with them, this type of loss hurts us so deeply.

Lily, we are so sorry you were abandoned in this condition and we were too late to help you. We hope you know that even though your time with us was short, you were very loved.

Thank you so much to all those who believed Lily’s life mattered, for donating for caring and for being a support to us during this time.

“Just because you can’t save them all, does not mean you should not try.”

Welcome Peanut

This past Saturday, the Paws Give Me Purpose team officially welcomed a very special little boy all the way from a shelter in South Carolina to our Sanctuary.

Meet Peanut! His story is sadly all too familiar, but nonetheless heartbreaking. Tossed out on to the streets he sat alone and forgotten behind shelter walls wondering what he did wrong to end up behind bars and why his family never came looking for him.

On top of being abandoned by those he believed loved him, he is a senior dog with serious medical issues who was deemed unadoptable and the original rescue who committed to pulling him backed out at the last minute putting his life in jeopardy. We simply could not say no to the urgent plea – his life matters! 

Estimated to be 10+ years of age, little Peanut is blind, deaf, has severe dental disease, luxating patellas, and a heart murmur which is sadly likely because he is heartworm positive. 

Mistreating and neglecting your dog to this point and then tossing them out on the street like trash is completely unacceptable! 

Peanut needs our help, and we cannot do this without you! 

PLEASE make a donation to help us give Peanut the best chance to survive and enjoy his remaining golden years to the fullest.

Cries Of Abandonment

These are the cries of abandonment.

These are the cries of a precious senior soul who was dumped on the streets of New York City by those he thought would love him forever.

These cries are bone chilling, gut wrenching, and beyond heartbreaking.

And these are the types of cries that often echo through our halls until they feel safe again.

Look at him, listen to him, share his cries.

People need to know that THIS is what happens when you dump your dog who gave you all their love and loyalty for his entire life.

He is not disposable, he is not an object to toss away when you decide you don’t want him anymore – he is a living breathing animal with feelings just like you and me.

Please educate your family and your friends to honor their commitment – it’s for life!

We are Paws Give Me Purpose and we are picking up the pieces of this broken heart.

Stay tuned for the official introduction of this precious soul this coming week.
