Ellie is resting comfortably but has not been interested in much else – including food. It will take time for her to heal from all that she has been through – and our team is here for her every step of the way. 

Please keep Ellie in your prayers.

We are not a big rescue, but we try our hardest to do big things for the dogs like Ellie that no one else stepped up to help during their time of need.

We give the abused, neglected and the most unwanted souls a life — a chance to be loved, cherished and to learn that not all humans are unkind – to us this is big!

Donations are still needed for Ellie’s care, so please help. #GivingTuesday will be here before you know it — just 2 weeks away, the day when millions of people around the world unite to support the causes they care most about and this year it takes place on November 30th.

Please mark your calendars and consider donating to Paws Give Me Purpose for our medical fund that will help Ellie and other dogs like her. Only with your help can we say yes to more senior/special needs dogs like Ellie.

Tossed out like trash on the street, this little 10+ year old girl has been clearly neglected and mistreated – this tumor weighs at least a pound, and this tiny girl has had to suffer carrying it around for far too long. 

Our hearts broke when we received the urgent plea, and we just could not say no. 

We have named this sweetheart Ellie, and our volunteer has already picked her up from the shelter and taken her to the Vet. Surgery has been performed and thankfully, Ellie did well. We are hoping she recovers quickly – please send some positive vibes her way. 

It may be too late, and it’s not at all enough, but in the end we know that we are doing right by Ellie. Her life matters!

Please consider making a donation today to help with Ellie’s lifetime care. If anyone is interested in becoming her sponsor, please reach out to us directly.

We believe a difficult dog gives back 10 times the amount of love. Sometimes it may seem hopeless and we get frustrated more than we thought possible, but once you persevere, the rewards are greater than words.

Spirit is one of our more difficult, special needs Sanctuary residents with both medical and behavioral issues. These issues make her a more challenging dog to deal with. Just getting her to take her daily medications is a battle – is she a lot of work? In a simple word, yes. Are her Vet bills high? Absolutely. But her life matters.

For Spirit, Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary is home; a place where she has learned that not all humans are unkind and what it is truly like to be loved. Dogs like Spirit inspire all of us to become even better human beings.

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose, and all the struggle is worth it!
