For the first time since his arrival, King got up today all on his own, and began to explore his new environment. Until today, we had been very concerned because all he has done since his arrival to sanctuary is sleep.

He also finally ate some very soft chunks of chicken and had a much needed bath. The smell, level of filth and matted hair was just unbelievably heartbreaking. 

King really seemed to enjoy the warm lavender bubble bath, but due to the severe matted hair close to his skin, he will most likely still need to be shaved down. For now, he is enjoying a nap all wrapped up in a nice warm blanket. 

King deserve a chance at life, to know love, to know kindness, and to see that not all humans are unkind before leaving this earth. No matter his age, or special needs, he is a living breathing animal just like us and he has value.

Our promise to King is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life.

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose.

This is King. 

He arrived at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary about an hour ago.

Our team is on the verge of tears, his medical and emotional condition are simply beyond our comprehension; how could any human be so cruel?! King is very sad, defeated and has given up on life. 

Due to the horrible mistreatment and neglect, this tiny 14-year-old has suffered, we sadly know that his time with us will be short – but we knew we could not allow him to die alone in the shelter. 

And before the inappropriate messages start coming our way we will simply state that King deserves love, dignity and respect, and we are going to make sure he receives everything he needs for as long as he is with us.

We are going to preface this post by stating that any inappropriate comments will be deleted – Stanley’s life matters. 

This is not a reason to toss your senior dog who gave you 12 years of undying love and loyalty out like a piece of garbage on to the street only to end up in a high kill shelter. These horrible situations are just one of the many reasons why we do what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose. 

Circling behavior in dogs can be due to a variety of medical conditions. In senior dogs, circling is often due to canine vestibular disease or canine cognitive dysfunction (a.k.a dementia or Doggie Alzheimer’s). There are medications that help and can reduce the circling and other abnormal behaviors. 

Thankfully, Stanley is safe and is already scheduled to see our Veterinary team; he will receive the medical care he needs and deserves in order to live out his golden years to the fullest. 

In the meantime, Stanley slept very well last night, has a healthy appetite, and is already beginning to figure out his new environment. This smart boy has already learned where the water bowls are all on his own! 

Quality of life above all else is important to us, and with your help, we will make sure Stanley has the best of everything. 

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose.
