Today is Tongue Out Tuesday, and one of our newest Sanctuary residents is popping in to show off his adorable tongue and introduce himself. 

Meet Jax! At 13+ years of age, this precious little boy found himself surrendered to rescue when his owner developed Alzheimer’s Disease and could no longer care for him. Due to Jax’s many medical issues, our friends at Hart For Animals reached out for Sanctuary placement and the rest as they say is history. 

Our promise to Jax is to provide him and all of our Sanctuary residents with a safe and loving environment for the rest of their lives. With YOUR undying support we are making it happen! 

If anyone ever doubts us, know that this is what we do at Paws Give Me Purpose. 

On Friday, the Paws Give Me Purpose Team welcomed Tilly to Sanctuary. 

A gentle senior who has clearly lived too many hard days. She was found wandering the streets of the Deer Park area of Long Island. She was dirty, matted, confused. She was picked up as a stray and brought to the Babylon Animal Shelter. 

When the shelter reached out to us, we immediately said yes, took her under our wing and promised her the best second chance at life! 

Her body was neglected, but her heart is still kind. The shelter shaved away her mats and filth, but she was scared and a bit snippy. Wouldn’t you be? Trust will take time, and patience but every soft nap, every tail wag, and every brave step forward is a victory for her. 

Help us give Tilly the comfort, medical care, and calm she has always deserved. Your donations keep the promise we make to every precious soul that walks through our Sanctuary doors – you are safe now! There will never be another day of fear and loss.

Please. If you are reading this, if you have ever loved a dog, if you believe that one gentle, brave senior’s life matters – donate, share, do whatever you can to send her love.

We showed you their shelter photo, some of you already know they were a last minute save. What you don’t know is the truth, the heartbreaking story of how they ended up behind shelter walls, and the truth about their medical conditions.

Their owner had passed away, and these boys were left in the care of a family member who admittedly dumped them on the streets because “they weren’t dying fast enough”. We are enraged.

Both these dogs have clearly been starved, starved from both food and affection. They are emaciated beyond our comprehension; their nails severely overgrown. Yugi is 12+ years of age and is covered in numerous large masses that dangle from his skin. As if that’s not enough, he has double cherry eye, severe periodontal disease, muscle wasting, a grade 3 systolic heart murmur, and cranial organomegaly (the enlargement head/ skull area). Bandit at 18 years old, also has severe periodontal disease, systolic heart murmur, severe muscle wasting.

The level of neglect here is beyond heartbreaking and it is clear veterinary care was never provided. We have no way of knowing how long they have struggled or how long they have endured pain with no relief. It is way past time for them to receive the much needed medical and comfort care.

Bandit and Yugi are now safe and never go without care again. Every moment from this one forward will be filled with nothing but kindness and dignity.

These boys have a tough road ahead of them, and there are no guarantees, but their lives matter and we will do everything in our power to help them so they can enjoy their remaining golden years to the fullest.

Please help us give Bandit and Yugi the care they should have received all along. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help change their lives.
