We have very unexpected and incredibly sad news to share today; our tiny little Toffee has left us for the Rainbow Bridge.
She was a fighter, and we fought right alongside her. We got her the best medical care she needed and deserved and hoped and prayed she would make a full recovery to enjoy life. We are incredibly sad it was not meant to be.
Toffee arrived at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. Sanctuary on Wednesday and was extremely sweet yet feisty – a typical Chihuahua. On Thursday, we took her to the Vet only to find out her medical condition was much worse than the shelter thought. She was immediately rushed to the 24 hour ER.
We are all extremely heartbroken; we were all looking forward to getting to know Toffee and watch her flourish and shine with the other senior pups here in Sanctuary. It is extremely difficult when we only have a short time with them, this type of loss hurt us so deeply.
We can tell you that Toffee passed surrounded by love, surrounded by friends, and not in the shelter.
Toffee – we are so sorry you were abandoned in this condition and we were too late to help you. We hope you know that even though your time with us was short, you were very loved.
Our deepest gratitude to Dr. Witt of House Paws Mobile Vet and to the entire medical team and the staff at NorthStar Vets for loving and caring for our little girl and doing everything medically possible.
As much as it pains us to turn away dogs in need, we are closing Sanctuary intake at this time. We need to focus on paying off the mounting Vet bills so we can continue to care for our current Sanctuary Residents which needs to be our priority.
Thank you all so much for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
