We have some heartbreaking news to share – our precious Ollie gained his Angel wings this evening.
Making the choice to help a Sanctuary resident find the peace they truly deserve is one the most heart wrenching decisions we have to make here at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. Sanctuary. Quality of life above all else is important to us, and we made sure Ollie had the best of everything.
The crushing reality sometimes is that it’s too late to heal these precious beings from the lifetime of neglect and abuse no matter how hard we try. In Ollie’s case, major cognitive dysfunction and moments of discomfort outweighed his capacity to enjoy life.
Ollie left this world with the dignity he deserved, in the arms of his Sanctuary mom; our hearts are shattered here today. The howling of the Sanctuary residents began the moment Ollie left this world and now our Sanctuary is very quiet as we all mourn his loss.
In the 2 weeks that Ollie was here in Sanctuary, this beautiful soul knew nothing but love and learned that not all humans are unkind.
Although his time with us was very short, Ollie’s life was very important to us. We most definitely could not stand by and allow him to die alone in a shelter never having known kindness, compassion and love.
You will always live on in our hearts Ollie – you left us way too soon. We truly wish love could have saved you; we were blessed to have known you!
Thank you to each and every one you for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
