Francesca Needs You

Francesca arrived yesterday to Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. sporting her much needed shelter haircut.

Francesca is estimated to be about 15 years old, has ear infections, cataracts, conjunctivitis in one eye, and serious dental issues. Additionally, she has some trouble walking on her back legs – we are not sure yet if it is age related or if she has sustained an injury.

Francesca is scheduled to see our Veterinarian on Wednesday to assess all of her medical issues so she can live the best most comfortable life here in Sanctuary during her final years. We will make sure that her remaining years are filled with nothing but love and happiness.

We know things are difficult for many of you out there, but we cannot do this without your support. Due to Francescas neglect, she requires very necessary medical care and it is costly; so if you are in the position to do so we ask that you please make a life saving donation today! No amount is too small!

If anyone is interested in sponsoring Francesca’s lifetime care in Sanctuary, please reach out to us directly.

Make sure to stay tuned for updates after her vet visit Wednesday!

Newest Sanctuary Resident

Today is a very busy day at Paws Give Me Purpose; beside the usual schedule and many loads of dog laundry, we are preparing for the arrival of our newest Sanctuary resident.

Rescued from Baltimore City Animal Control, meet Francesca! This little girl almost lost her life because the shelter was simply out of space. Thanks to the quick thinking of Yorkie 911 Rescue she has been pulled to safety and arrangements have been made for arrival to Sanctuary tomorrow.

Francesca is estimated to be 15 years old, has ear infections, cataracts, conjunctivitis in one eye, and serious dental issues. Additionally, she has some trouble walking on her back legs – we are not sure yet if it is age related or if she has sustained an injury.

Francesca is currently receiving ear drops and eye drops to help with the infections, but will need to see our Vet as soon as possible to assess all of her medical issues so she can live the best most comfortable life here in Sanctuary during her final years.

Our promise to Francesca as is to all the beautiful souls we bring in to Sanctuary is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of their lives.

This is what we do here at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. But, we cannot do this without all of you!

Please consider making a life-saving donation today; no amount is too small.

Prayers Needed

Our adorable senior Hobbes saw the Veterinarian this morning to check on his healing progress from his surgery; sadly the news is not looking good.

For those not familiar, Hobbes is one of our most recent intakes; senior gentleman around 20 years of age, both blind and deaf. He has endured a life of extreme criminal neglect, and required surgery for his extremely damaged gums and urgent repair of a fistula that was bleeding and causing him pain. 

We knew that the surgery itself was risky for a dog of Hobbes’s age and that there was a risk even with the expert surgery that the fistula would not stay closed. But, we wanted to give Hobbes the best chance for a comfortable life in his final years. Unfortunately, due to his age, the fistula did not remain closed and this puts Hobbes at great risk for infection. 

Today’s news has put a huge cloud of sadness over the Sanctuary as we need to make some difficult decisions. 

The Veterinarian is recommending we wait 2-4 weeks for the tissue to completely heal and she can try again, however during this waiting period Hobbes will need to be closely monitored to ensure no infection sets in. Then again, she also stated that even though she is willing to attempt the surgery again, it is once again a risk due to Hobbes’s age, may still not work, and of course will be costly. 

In the next couple weeks, Paws Give Me Purpose will need to make some difficult medical, and financial decisions, as well as determine what is in Hobbes’s best interest and the best interest of all our Sanctuary Residents. 

Please pray for us, and pray for Hobbes. Pray that we can make the right decisions, and pray for Hobbes to remain healthy so he can live his life out to the fullest – he deserves this second chance to be happy, loved and cherished. 

We hate sharing sad news, but believe in providing complete transparency to our supporters and followers. We thank you all for your support and caring during this time. 

Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. treats every dog that comes through our doors with excellent care, compassion and love. Our promise to this beautiful soul is to provide a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life and we are committed to keeping this promise.
