Hi,
I’m Nadine (momma Shari calls me the Princess of Paws)
I arrived at Paws Unlimited in September of 2020.
Previously my life consisted of living in a crate on a porch for 5 years (1825 days).
Neither food or my seizure medication were provided on a regular schedule.
Now my life is the best. Shari has me on a strict medicine and food regime that keeps my epilepsy under control.
I get lots of hugs and belly rubs and Shari tells me I am the best girl ever. I am an official greeter as everyone love to give me attention.
I am home and safe in the arms of my angel-Shari
Dear Friends,
We received a gift. Brown, old and wrinkled-it is one of the best presents we could ask for.
Her name is Mabel. She is an old Sharpei, blind and quite deaf. Some kind person pulled her out of a swamp where she was stuck-no one claimed her and she became a Paws Unlimited beloved senior. She is quite the spoiled gal now...the Queen of the office (she decided this would be her room) all her comfy beds and pillows are artfully arranged and rearranged as Mabel sees fit. She sleeps as late as she likes and will allow you to disturb her rest for food and walks.
She recognizes Shari's touch and though she cannot see or hear, she senses the presence of the person she has grown to trust. The knowledge that Mabel can trust and love and wag her slightly bent tail is the very best gift.
We are devoting our resources and energy to give comfort to abandoned older dogs.
To give them a soft and warm place to lay their weary heads for this latter part of their lives. Knowing that they will not starve or freeze nor die alone is what we are here for.
The tragedy of a life that lived to love and serve it's family and then to be tossed aside because they now need extra care or have an occasional accident in the house is heartbreaking. Paws Unlimited exists to care for them, to bring a little joy and comfort and to make sure their "golden years" are golden. They are the most special gifts and we are so lucky to look into the eyes of a senior and see peace and love.
Mabel is only one of the treasures we have here. Paws Unlimited has loving seniors that you can foster or sponsor, We affectionately call them our "Elders"...wise, loving and calm. They are a great addition to a quiet household, particularly for a senior person who would like a companion to lay gently by their side.
Paws Unlimited is asking for assistance to help continue this lifesaving mission. We sincerely appreciate any amount your heart and wallet can donate.
Warm Regards,
Shari & the Seniors
Some people call me a senior dog
that just means I have Years of Experience

Wilma was a senior dog with heartworm on the euthanasia list in a high kill shelter. Paws Unlimited found out about her and immediately went to her aid. Her heartworm was treated and once she was healthy Wilma went to live in a happy foster home with her 2 moms and and a kitty.
As her photos show her despair prior to being rescued by Paws Unlimited and her happiness after.
ZEUS
For the first 6 years of his life Zeus was confined to living chained in a backyard.
He had no socialization, He had no idea what life was beyond his constricted area.
After 6 years the owners brought him to a veterinarian and Zeus’s reaction was one of fear and terror.
No one could handle him. He was brought to a shelter directly from the veterinarian hospital.
The shelter had him for 2 years as Zeus had such trust issues, they realized that he could not
be adopted to a family. He would either be euthanized or released to a rescue.
In September 2018 he was released to Paws Unlimited and Shari took him into her care. A bond of trust began and he will be spending his fifth Christmas at Paws Unlimited.
Zeus loves Christmas now as he gets more spoiled than usual. This is his safe haven with his safe person.
