Little Bella, aka our Beanie Baby, is just stopping in to say hello to all our wonderful followers and supporters. She is here to tell you that getting old is most certainly not easy, but she is still beautiful, inside and out, and she most certainly has value! 

For those not familiar, this little old lady arrived at our Sanctuary in December of 2020 suffering from a host of major medical and behavioral issues. You can refresh your memory of her arrival by heading over to:

After a great deal of rehabilitation, ongoing medical care, a healthy diet, senior supplements and the TLC she needed and deserved, Bella is feeling fabulous! 

We have a very hard time understanding why anyone would have brought a dog like Bella into their lives only to release her out on the street. This tiny old lady is not disposable, she was someone’s family member; a living breathing animal with feelings just like you and me. Have we as human beings lost our ability to care? 

Was it too much trouble to at least take her to a shelter? This poor girl was found wandering the streets, and when taken to the nearest shelter by animal control, no one bothered to even come looking for her. What happened to Bella is a clear message that she was no longer wanted. 

Why? Did she get too old? After giving 13 years of love, loyalty and devotion to her humans, Bella still deserves to be loved and treated with dignity, and not to be tossed away like yesterday’s newspaper. 

For Bella, Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary is home and she is safe, spoiled, and loved – as she should be! And although she suffers from some serious medical issues, she is a very happy girl. 

All dogs are beautiful, but senior dogs have a way of touching our hearts in a way that changes everything. 

If you are interested in signing up to be Bella’s sponsor please reach out to us directly.

This is the face of a dog who truly enjoyed her breakfast this morning – and truth be told, Talulah enjoys every meal just like this!

Needless to say, she will be getting yet another bath today, but she enjoys that too. We just had to share this moment of joy with all of you before we wash the evidence away.

She gets so excited at mealtime that there are no real words to express it – Lulu “does brunch”; she takes her time and she never leaves a crumb behind.

If Lulu is happy, we are happy, and her happiness and the happiness of all our Sanctuary residents is our number one priority!

Lulu is living her best life daily with unconditional love for the rest of her life.

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

Snickers is just stopping in to say hello and thank you to all our fabulous followers and supporters. When some donation boxes arrived here over the weekend, he just could not wait to pick out a new toy to cuddle. He stalked those boxes until everything was unpacked. 

Here at Paws Give Me Purpose, Snickers receives both physical and emotional comfort, companionship and enrichment on a daily basis, which he deserves in order to enjoy his golden years to the fullest. 

For those not familiar with his story, Snickers was abandoned at the same shelter TWICE by humans he had considered his forever family. To read his complete story, head over to:

It’s all because of you that we can give Snickers and every dog here in Sanctuary what they need to thrive and live their lives out to the fullest; the way it was meant to be. You give them all hope for a future full of love and happiness.

For Snickers, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. Sanctuary is home. A place where he has learned that not all humans are unkind, and what it’s truly like to be loved. 

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose. Thank you for giving us the ability to do what we do.
