Today was a very sad and difficult day here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary. Our beautiful Betty Boop gained her angel wings naturally and peacefully on her own terms, she even got to spend her last moments in the arms of one of her rescuers.
At 17 years old, Betty had a host of serious medical issues and was considered a hospice case to most, but to us she was another beautiful special needs senior soul who did not deserve to die in a shelter.
Betty’s smile and wiggly, almost flirty walk would light up everyone’s day here at the Sanctuary. Her sweet demeanor captured the hearts of all those that knew her human and dog alike.
Snickers the Doxie was her little boyfriend, and the way they would nuzzle and cuddle up to each other made them the cutest couple in the world to us. Lucy, her “old lady” friend – would sit with her and they would walk around together as if they were 2 best friends chatting the day away. Betty has left behind two very heartbroken dogs and many human friends who loved her dearly.
Sometimes, Paws Give Me Purpose is that special place where dogs like Betty come to cross that bridge with dignity and love. Our promise to Betty was to provide her with a safe and loving environment for the rest of her life and we kept that promise.
You were only with us for a short time sweet Betty, but you’ll be a part of our hearts forever. We were blessed to have known you!
