Here at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc., every day is a new beginning. For Waldo and many other special needs seniors, we are that special place where they can take a deep breath knowing they are safe, smile, and start again. 

Surprisingly, handsome Waldo, is still hoping to find his very own lifetime sponsor, could it be you? 

Since arriving at our Sanctuary, this beautiful soul has truly been through a lot including some major surgeries and rehabilitation, and although he will always need very specialized care, he is feeling so much better!

Our promise to Waldo is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life. We are making sure that he has everything he needs to enjoy his golden years to the fullest and is spoiled as he should be.

Please consider becoming Waldo’s lifetime sponsor! When you become a sponsor, you will make wishes come true for Waldo and all our Sanctuary dogs. Your gift toward lifetime care in turn helps save more lives than you can imagine! 

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

As Baby Shark settles in for the night, she wants you all to know how very fortunate she feels to be safe and loved.

For those not familiar with Cocoa’s story, head over to: https://www.pawsgivemepurpose.com/welcome-cocoa/ and you can read all about her arrival to our Sanctuary.

After being let down and mistreated by humans all her life, then tossed aside because she was not behaving the way they wanted her to behave, Cocoa is just beginning to heal mentally, physically and spiritually.

She has suffered the unthinkable, including someone deciding it was a good idea to break her little tail. We can only imaging her pain – and we completely understand her distrust in humans.

We know that we cannot erase her past, but are doing everything in our power to make things better for her – and she is slowly learning what it is truly like to be loved.

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose; we treat every dog that comes through our doors with excellent care, compassion and love.

It is with the deepest sadness that we inform all of you that beautiful Talulah Belle peacefully crossed the Rainbow Bridge early this morning in her sleep.

At around 3am Lulu came looking for her Sanctuary mom. That usually means one of 2 things, she had some water, or went to the potty and wanted to be tucked back into her bed. Little did we know that this would be the last time. 

Talulah arrived at our Sanctuary back in May from The Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter, and in just the few short months she was here she captured everyone’s heart! 

Lulu was not a very social girl and she mostly kept to herself. She did not interact with the other senior dogs, but she didn’t mind them being around either. When it came to people, she was choosy, and her Sanctuary mom became her most important person; she would always come looking for her Sanctuary mom when she was out of sight or she didn’t hear her voice; sometimes just peeking around the corner just to be sure she was there. 

Although Lulu was very reserved and quiet, there was a special soul inside her and we could see it shining through. Every dog that comes through our doors, for no matter how long they are with us, brings something special to our Sanctuary and Lulu is no exception. Just watching her blossom a little more each moment of the day was very meaningful to us – and we will miss her terribly. 

She enjoyed soaking in a lavender bubble bath and would always eagerly wait for her meals to be prepared; she enjoyed every morsel. And every day without fail, she waited for that fresh from the dryer bed and blanket to arrive before bed time.

Thank you to the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter and The Shelter Connection for entrusting us with Lulu’s care. Thank you for bringing her into our lives and for giving us the pleasure of loving her with our whole hearts. 

You will forever live on in our hearts Talulah Belle – you were taken way too soon. We were blessed to have known and love you!

Thank you to each and every one of you for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
