Yesterday our hearts broke as we met Juda in person for the first time. We have decided to rename him Kermit, as he begins his new life here in Sanctuary.
A little over 2 weeks ago, we stepped in to rescue a dog whose world was turned upside down. After spending years with the same family, he found himself alone and afraid dumped in a shelter for the second time in his life.
This sweet, loving boy was so badly neglected twice in his lifetime and this time he was going to die without even knowing humans can be kind – we could not allow that to happen. It honestly looks as if he has never received any form of care.
Our hearts are shattered after reading through his medical paperwork – things do not look good. To summarize and provide you all with full transparency about the situation, Kermit was severely matted with overgrown nails, and nuclear sclerosis in both eyes. He is in congestive heart failure, suffers from cushings disease, reflux, low blood platelets, rounded/enlarged liver, displaced intestines, Cholecystitis – inflammation of the gall bladder, and a lesion on his right kidney.
While his shelter medical charts look awful, he is a happy, go-lucky boy showing no symptoms. He is 12 years old, but you’d never know it. You’d never even know he isn’t 100% healthy either as nothing seems to bother him.
Kermit is now safe here at Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. and he deserves our commitment and expert medical care. We need to fight and give him the opportunity to live the best life possible in his remaining years. But, we cannot do this without YOU!
We will be having our own Veterinarian re-examine and run further tests on Kermit in order to help us determine what the best decisions for him will be and what is needed to give him the most comfortable life here in Sanctuary. It will be costly, but this precious soul is worth it and so deserving.
Please we ask that you open your hearts and make an urgent life-saving donation; Kermit’s life matters!

Kermit also needs many prayers and positive thoughts throughout the next few days. He is a strong boy and we are hopeful; he hasn’t come this far to give up and we will not give up on him!
