Meet Twinkie

Just 10 days into the new year, we are inundated with requests seeking Sanctuary by shelters and rescues – to date we have taken in 5 new residents. Sadly, we are seeing a horrendous increase in the abandonment of senior, special needs hospice dogs and it is beyond heartbreaking. 

Meet Twinkie; found wandering alone on the streets of Brooklyn, little Twinkie was taken to the ACC where he waited for his family to come and find him; sadly, that never happened. 

This precious 15-year-old boy needed a safe place to kick back, relax, retire and enjoy his remaining years. – he did not deserve to be tossed out on the streets to fend for himself! 

Twinkie is blind, has severe dental disease, luxating patellas, and a grade V/VI heart murmur. After seeing our Veterinary Team, we have also been informed that he is in heart failure. 

His shelter medical prognosis was guarded, and because he would twitch and show teeth upon handling, he was rated as a dog with potential for aggressive behavior – nonetheless, his life matters, and he is now safe here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary. 

Twinkie is currently here at PGMP under quarantine in a room of his own. He will remain in this room until we are certain he has not brought any contagious illnesses with him from his shelter stay, but he is enjoying being loved and spoiled by our staff already. Our promise is to provide him with a safe and loving environment for the rest of his life and we are committed to keeping this promise!

Paws Give Me Purpose relies on donations from people like you who are willing to spend their hard-earned money to help animals in dire need like Twinkie, and we really need your help now more than ever. 

Please consider donating to help with Twinkie’s care, consider becoming his Sponsor or even becoming a Sanctuary Guardian Angel – we cannot continue to do this without you!
