Puppy Mill Dogs Rescued Faith, Spirit, Charity, Dignity, Purity, and Divinity

11/19/13 The next time someone you know even considers buying a dog from a ‘pet store’ or a breeder, consider this. The inhumans who do this to these poor animals should have to pay with all of the money they made on the backs of these innocents. But no, it will be the small rescue groups like Mutts of Motown and so many others who will take care of these poor souls and make sure they will never live in cages, breeding for human’s profit again. 4 Paws 1 Heart is grateful to be able to assist with the medical bills incurred by Mutts of Motown who is working with A Hopeful Heart to take in these abused sweethearts. ~ diana

As reported by Laura, Mutts of Motown: “This weekend our volunteers have been busy!! We were fortunate to assist in transport, an SUV of dogs from out of town for a rescue we are affiliated with on Friday. Thank you to the #1 transporter who drove halfway to meet our #2 transporters who brought them safely to rescue!! On Saturday morning, another one of our volunteers drove to meet yet another transporter for a 2nd load of small dogs. They arrived during our store event. All of these dogs came from a puppy mill and they are truly terrified. We have secured 6 mill dogs, 4 of which are poodle mixes, and 2 shih tsus. We’re saddened to see how scared and anti social the little poodles are. We’re guessing attention is rare or non- existent in a puppy mill. These girls will never again be used for their babies or profited off of. We didn’t expect them but we had offers of fosters and these are true rescues. We now are not able to take in any dogs at all. Normally we have space for little dogs since they don’t seem to need us as much as large breeds. You may want to sponsor one of them, if so call us at 586 690 2808. Or you can recommend us to anyone who wants to adopt! We need room now to save more. Our mill girls will see the vet tomorrow and be transferred to experienced foster homes. Some of our adoptable dogs will be transferred to some new fosters and/or different fosters in order to accommodate the new girls needs. Tomorrow, we will have more info on our mill dogs Faith, Spirit, Charity, Dignity, Purity, and Divinity.”

Breeder/Puppy Mill Giving up Useless Stock

Once again, 4 Paws 1 Heart, is thankful that we can play a role in helping these sweet animals so abused by inhumans. Thank You to A Hopeful Heart for once again taking in these most difficult cases. ~ diana

“Hopeful Heart received a call that a breeder/ mill was giving up their “useless stock” and we were asked to bring some to our rescue. Sadly, when dogs are considered no longer useful they are usually put to sleep and not always in the most humane ways. Hopeful Heart took in 9 of the sweetest scared dogs that were in bad condition. Each of the dogs were infested in fleas, have bad teeth, and can barley walk from being kept in cages their entire lives. Each of the dogs need to be neutered or spayed, and have dental work done.”

Boswer Still Needs a Home

Bowser STILL needs a home. He is 7 years old, fixed, up to date on vaccines, a Great Dane, Friendly, Good nature, and in need of a forever home. He was going to be taken to the shelter by his owner until a kind woman stepped up to help, but she only was able to hold onto him for a temporary basis. With his size and age she has been unsuccessful finding him a forever home. She needs our help and we need your help to share, cross-post, and network him out there. Please Help BOWSER!!! Gina

Partnership with Cats Veterinary in Clinton Township

Our friends and partners at the Cats Veterinary in Clinton Township have created another way to help the animals this Holiday season. The Client purchases a kitty angel for various dollar amounts and the staff places that kitty on our charity tree with 100% of the proceeds going to the new 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Veterinary Fund. Thank You to our Board member, Sasha Oza, for leading the way in our new venture and thank you to the enthusiastic staff at Cats Veterinary. There will be many kitty kisses in your future. ~ diana

Thank You – MoTown Night

As we come so very close to the end of 2013, please consider a donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart. We are a 501c3 not-for-profit organization which means that your donation is tax deductible. BUT, more importantly, with your donations, we have been able to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of companion animals. Fundraisers are the only other source of funding for 4P1H, and in the case of Motown Night, the raffle prize donations were phenomenal. Again, thank you to all! ~ Diana and the Board of 4 Paws 1 Heart

Animal Warriors

ANIMAL WARRIORS – We have been receiving many requests from individual rescuers who are now seeing cats and kittens show up on their porches needing help. Our 4P1H friend, Susan, contacted us about this little guy. Here’s her message:

“A male cat, un-neutered, has been hanging out at a friend’s house since August. He’s getting fed and has shelter. But now he is hurt, holding up a front leg. He broke my heart when I saw him earlier. He is not feral, and came up to me, I’ll send you a pic. I have an older, crabby male cat, so I cannot keep him. My friend has a male cat and cannot afford to take care of this hurt boy. Can you help this baby out?” – Susan

This sweet boy was brought into the Emergency, was x-rayed, tested and neutered. His leg had no breaks or sprains but his paw had some superficial burns on it which may have caused the limp. It also turned out that he tested positive for FIV which is not a death sentence but will require some special needs. For this reason, he was not vaccinated at this time. Susan and her family will work to find this handsome feline a forever home. ~ diana

Tiki Found in a Tiki Torch

11/14/13 – Tiki is the little tiny kitten that was found in a garage in Detroit. He was heard crying for 2 days when he was finally rescued after being stuck inside of a Tiki torch. Here he is now with his new foster home doing wonderful and eating on his own like a big boy:) ~ gina

Bobby One of Three Roaming Kittens

11/14/13 – Bobby was one of three kittens roaming by themselves on the streets until a good Samaritan rescued them and brought them into the Emergency. 4 Paws 1 Heart took care of all of their medical needs because that’s what we do. Here is our Bobby with his new BFF in his loving, forever home. Isn’t he handsome and looking very loved and well taken care of? ~ Gina

Precious Piglet Needs A Rescue Group

Precious Piglet needs a rescue group to take her in.
You may remember the puppies from last weekend that were being sold to make money? Well, after losing two of her siblings this little puppy survived and she will need a rescue soon. If you can help please email me ([email protected]m) or Diana ([email protected]om. A huge Thank You to Amanda Morris for working around the clock and bottle feeding our little Piglet. Most people don’t realize how much work it is. Gina

Dewey with Co-Worker Nicole

Here is our Dewey with co-worker Nicole. As you can see he loves to be held and loved. His condition has not gotten worse, but Dewey might have some permanent/lingering damage do to his congenital issues. He is a little unsteady on his feet and still healing. We don’t know what to expect long term but he is an amazing little fella with a lot of love to give. I have narrowed the potential homes down to one very fitting family for Dewey based on his needs. They have no other pets and they can focus on him only for now. After all that he has been through we have paws crossed that the worst is over and he will hopefully live a long happy life with no more surprises! We’ll keep everyone informed. ~ gina
