Emergency Funds Needed

Calvin and Hobbes saw the Vet yesterday, and it is time to begin their healing and to give them the best life possible – they truly deserve it! Despite the cruelty they have endured, they are so full of life and still have tons of love to give. 

They lived horrible lives of cruelty and neglect, never knowing what it was truly like to be loved or to have a human touch or kindness. They had very little food or water and laid day after day in their own feces and urine only to end up behind shelter walls where they were frightened and unwanted because of their age and condition. No one really knows how or when their nightmare began, but we need to make it better.

We will never really know about everything that went on inside that house of horrors, but until now their lives have been nothing but darkness and fear. We do know that we will make sure that their remaining years are filled with nothing but love and happiness. 

The reality is that things are difficult for many of you out there, but we cannot do this without your support. Due to their neglect, these senior gentlemen need very necessary medical care and it is costly; so if you are in the position to do so we ask that you please make a life saving donation today! No amount is too small!

Meet Calvin And Hobbes

Even during this difficult time, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. is still trying our best to save lives.

Please join us in welcoming our newest Sanctuary residents who came all the way from Texas, Calvin and Hobbes. 

These tiny 5 and 7 pound boys were seized from a hoarding situation and sadly dogs their age have little opportunities and we have stepped in to bring them into Sanctuary. These boys are just 2 dogs of the 200 animals rescued from a hoarding case in Texas. You can read the full story about the raid on the home at the following link:

Calvin and Hobbes arrived at Paws Give Me Purpose late Wednesday afternoon and have been decompressing and getting familiar with their new environment. Today they received a much needed bath!

Calvin is a long haired Chihuahua, almost 21 years old and has a grade 5-6 heart murmur, is not neutered, has no teeth and no bottom jaw at all. He has bilateral nuclear sclerosis (hazy, cloudy eyes), was covered in fleas, had overgrown nails, and has urine stained fur. 

Hobbes is a Chi-Weenie, 20 years of age, who is neutered, visually impaired and deaf. He had hookworms, overgrown nails, suffers from some muscle atrophy, very little teeth, and severe periodontal disease. 

Despite the life of cruelty these two have lived through, they are extremely loving, sweet, and enjoy attention. Both gentlemen will be seeing the Vet tomorrow and will receive the expert medical care they deserve. 

Our promise to these beautiful souls is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of their lives. Stay tuned for updates about these beautiful senior souls!

His Smile Says It All

We know that everyone is feeling the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to bring some more happy news your way and bring a smile to your faces.

Houston has just celebrated one month in his forever home, and is making amazing progress!

In all honesty, the timing of his adoption couldn’t have been better. With dad home now more than ever, Houston is getting the much needed extra time, attention, and training in order to be the best boy he can be. He has even made some doggie friends within his first few weeks in the neighborhood.

The smile on Houston’s face really says it all, and it reminds us why we continue to do what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose. We honestly could not have asked for a better dad for Houston, and we are very glad they found each other.

We hope you can all take a moment today to smile, even if it’s only for a second. It’s important at times like this that we take a step back and appreciate the world around us by talking a short walk with our four-legged friends, or reading some happy news about dog adoptions. 

Stay happy and stay healthy, everyone!
