5/5/14 – PLEASE BE SURE TO IDENTIFY YOUR PETS

Posted on by

URGENT PLEASE SHARE This female was found this afternoon on Telegraph road hit by a car. She has a dislocated femur on the right side and a broken head of her femur on the left side of her pelvis. She can not walk. 4 paws 1 heart is taking care of her medical needs and supportive care, but we would like to find her owners asap. She had no chip, no collar, but she does have a line tattoo on her belly indicating she was fixed. We estimate her to be about 7-9 years old. If anyone has any information about her owners please email me at (owner must show proof of ownership) [email protected]

6/11/14 UPDATE:  This poor baby’s injuries were too great.  She was humanely euthanized before any owners could be found. ~ diana

4/2/14 – OUR DEWEY FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME

Posted on by

4/2/14 HAPPY UPDATES – Remember our little Dewey. Back in October, 2013 he was found under a van — terrified and starving. He had a small laceration and later developed a cough which delayed his recovery while Gina fostered him. Well, just like most of the babies 4 Paws 1 Heart helps, Dewey is living the life of a King. Thank You, Cory Lynn, for keeping in touch and taking such good care of our little guy. ~ diana

“I just wanted to give your organization another heart felt thank you for the work you do. This is Dewey. He absolutely loves his first spring. Yesterday he spent a whole day going from screen door to open window, admiring wild life. Today he is cuddly and exhausted from all the excitement. He is here because of you and we are so very grateful.” ~ Cory L

6/11/14 – RIP Little Paperclip – Unfortunately the little tiny sparrow passed away yesterday morning. I think he got cold because my heating pad stopped working during the night:( The Robin is doing wonderful and is mostly in the position to eat all day long… ~ Gina

Sweet Mr Jim….funds needed for all abandoned animals…please??

Posted on by

In the past 2 weeks, 4 Paws 1 Heart has received several call outs for medical help. Mr. Jim is one of them. Here is his story and of course, we said yes (until our money runs out) ~ diana

“My husband, Jeremy, and I were contacted on May 28 by a friend about a dog that had been chained to the fence of an abandoned house near her in Detroit. He was barking non stop and way too nice for his own good. We have now had Mr Jim safe for over a week with no bites or even nibbles from our searches for an owner. Robin Nix of Solo Rescue agreed to take him (as well as another stray we found three days after Mr. Jim) as long as we could foster temporarily. Mr Jim is maybe 5 years old, unaltered male, all white pit/bulldog mix. After working with him for a week, I think he is deaf. We are cleaning and putting goop in the ears as well as working on attention training to be sure these are not the issues. He is the most LOVEABLE dog He gives kisses and cuddles and did like to play fetch. Unfortunately, we just learned that Mr. Jim is heart worm positive and is now on bed rest. Solo does not have immediate funds available for the initial blood work and x-ray to determine severity and treatment. The vet thinks it is a mild to medium case. Can you help?”

Truth be told…

Truth was to be sold on Craig’s List. His owner felt he was a ‘bad dog’ because he liked to jump fences so she kept him chained outside or in a crate. A volunteer with the Better Life Center heard of Truth’s story and rescued him from the owner who didn’t care. She spent her own money to neuter, vaccinate, and microchip Truth; BLCC donated training; all while trying to find him that loving home. A loving family has been found but Truth is in need of surgery. The rescuer is now seeking help with Truth’s surgery. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to help. ~ Diana

look at Truth’s face he wants love and wants to be loved…can you help others like him
please donate through our easy links, or mail! we love mail…as long as they are fixed 🙂

 

Animals are NOT disposable!

ABANDONED: This sweet Deluth Calico was left behind by her owners. She is about two years old. How anyone can live with themselves after doing this is beyond me. Let’s work together, once again, to see if we can find a forever loving home. Contact Jo Addington at 586-823-1055; please don’t text because she is having problems with her service. You can e-mail [email protected] ~ diana

Everybody deserves a chance.

Because Gina doesn’t have anything else to do (not). Gina’s new wards — a robin and a very small sparrow who she says is quite the fighter even though he is the size of a paperclip. Thank you Gina for having such a big heart!!

Bitten by the love bug….

Posted on by

6/9/14 – Another call out for help from the rescuer of this sweet and mysterious cat he has named Bittens. Brad L. reached out to us for help because Bittens seemed lethargic and appeared to have an eye infection. Of course we agreed to help — anything to make sure a once homeless cat/dog will know the joy of a loving family. Here he is today.
