This week’s Wishlist Wednesday is brought to you by our newest tiny Sanctuary resident, Miss Tilly.

Little Tilly was transferred into our care when Humphrey House 4 Homeless Animals determined she was not a candidate for adoption due to needing specialized lifetime care. We of course said yes to helping this precious girl and she officially arrived yesterday.

Tilly has what is known as a slow progressive thoracolumbar myelopathy, otherwise explained as a problem with the spinal cord in the middle of the back. She also has fecal incontinence, likely due to inflammatory spinal cord disease and congenital spinal cord malformation, megaesophagus, and has been experiencing seizures.

Tilly’s medical and comfort care have begun. She is on a medication protocol for her spine, will receive cold laser therapy, and is now also taking seizure medication. Additionally, she is fed in an upright position only in order to aid her digestive issues; a Bailey Chair has been ordered for her size.

Please consider making a donation to help with Tilly’s care or shopping our wish lists to donate food, enrichment, and more to our Sanctuary residents; everyone of these precious souls that walks through our doors deserves this chance to be happy.

This week’s most needed items are: Hill’s Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin, Small & Mini Breeds Dry Food (Chicken Recipe), Tide Hygienic Clean laundry pods, Lysol laundry sanitizer, PetSilver Immune Support, Wahl USA Pet Friendly Waterless No Rinse Shampoo.

On behalf of Tilly and all dogs here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary, thank you for thinking of us and making our lives better.

Precious Rose (formerly Rosie Perez, Philly ACCT-A-250664) is finally strong enough to head into surgery today. Our surgeon will remove the enormous weight she has been carrying on her tiny body for far too long. “Harry the Hernia’s” removal is necessary comfort care.

Our vet Team has stated that this is one of the largest hernias they have ever seen. Rose certainly did not deserve to be neglected this way and then tossed out onto the city streets like trash. This behavior by any human being is completely unacceptable! We are doing our best to pick up the pieces and give Rose the best days of her life for her time with us.

Love doesn’t have an expiration date; senior dogs deserve forever too. Life is a reminder that no matter how old or frail, precious souls like Rose deserve to know warmth, comfort, and unconditional love.

Welcome home, Rose. Your hardest days are behind you, and your best ones are just beginning.

Please. If you are reading this, if you have ever loved a dog, if you believe that one gentle, brave senior’s life matters, donate, share, do whatever you can to send little Rose some love.

At 14 years of age, this precious soul was put out onto the streets to fend for herself, dragging around an enormous tumor.

Her body told us a story of long-term neglect and hardship. We have no way of knowing how long she had suffered dragging around a tumor that weighed half a pound, or how long she had endured pain with no relief. Regardless, this horrific chapter of her life is now over.

When our shelter partner reached out for help, we were at first speechless then heartbroken by what we heard and were seeing, but we knew in our hearts that Poppy deserved this second chance at life. A life where she could be comfortable and just be a dog.

Poppy has officially broken off her relationship with what we’ve been calling “Todd the Tumor”. This relationship is one that should have never happened, but has been sadly going on for many years. Poppy was never spayed and this was the result of years of lack of care. “Todd the Tumor” was removed on Tuesday, sent out for biopsy, and she has been spayed.

No dog should have to endure this type of suffering. No dog, especially a senior, should die alone in a shelter!

While Poppy may have a long road of recovery ahead of her, the worst days of her life are behind her. She will never go without care again! Every moment from this one forward will be filled with nothing but love, kindness and dignity.

We know many are struggling, but our outstanding Vet bills are enormous; we truly need your help!
