If Love Could Have Saved You

We have some heartbreaking Sanctuary news to share – our precious little Louie has gained his Angel wings. He left this world peacefully, on his own terms, snuggled up to his buddy Freddie.

We knew his time with us would be short, but we never expected it to be this short. Louie arrived at our Sanctuary from the NY ACC as a broken shell of a dog both physically and emotionally. His condition told us that his life was clearly not a good one, and we can only hope that his short time here with us at the very least taught him that not all humans are unkind. 

With much needed medical care and TLC Louie began to come to life. He became bright, alert, developed a fabulous appetite and even began to gain some much needed weight. He was social and made a couple of great friends both of whom he had a lot in common with – all are blind, and they knew they needed each other and spent lots of cuddle time together.

Despite facing health challenges, his happy spirit never wavered; he touched our lives briefly but profoundly. And although he would get a bit testy at times with us humans, he was pure love and just wanted to be close to those he loved. His presence will be dearly missed. 

You will always live on in our hearts Louie; you were taken way too soon. We were blessed to have known and been able to love you with our whole hearts!

IF LOVE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU, YOU WOULD HAVE LIVED FOREVER.

Welcome Seraphina

We urgently need your help! One of our shelter partners alerted us to a tiny frail little girl in dire need of help. We of course said yes and she was rushed immediately to our Vet. 

Abandoned in terrible condition, estimated to be 10+ years of age, this precious soul is emaciated, has a grade 4/6 heart murmur, multiple mammary masses, a left-sided inguinal hernia, and severe dental disease including heavy tartar, fractured teeth, loose/missing teeth, gum inflammation, infection, tooth/root abscesses. Her blood work and X-rays show she clearly has a lot going on medically, but we clearly see a light of life in her eyes, a strong will to live, and a good appetite.

This tiny, fragile soul needed us and we could not let her down. We have taken Seraphina into our care here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary – can you help us provide her with everything she so desperately needs to live her remaining golden years to the fullest?

PLEASE HELP!

Update On Izzy

We hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday evening! We wanted to take a moment to share an update with all of you about Izzy. 

For those not familiar with Izzy’s arrival to our Sanctuary, please head over to: 

Precious Izzy has seen our Veterinary Team for a full exam including blood work, chest X-rays, and an echocardiogram.

While the shelter Veterinarian believed she was in heart failure, causing her to turn blue – that is not the case. 

Izzy does have a high grade heart murmur and the echocardiogram also showed valve disease, but more disturbing news has surfaced. 

Izzy has a severely collapsed trachea, it’s creating a narrow airway causing difficulty breathing upon overexertion. Additionally the X-ray showed one small area in her left caudal lung lobe that looks bad. She does have two mammary masses, and it seems sadly the cancer has metastasized.

Since Izzy is a spayed female, masses appearing at this stage in her life are evidence of cancer spreading – she is officially a hospice case and we will be giving her the best life possible as long as we can keep her calm and breathing comfortably. 

Medications and homeopathic supplements of course are already on board to help keep comfortable. She is eating very well, and enjoying time playing with her new friends.

This precious little girl deserves some time to enjoy life and be loved after spending her life in a cage. When things become too difficult for her we will help her gain her Angel wings. 

Our promise to Izzy is to give her the best life daily, unconditionally.
