9/8/14 Prayers and Potential Rescue Needed – This sweet boy, mastiff mix, about 6 – 7 weeks old was brought in to the emergency last night by his owners. They ‘adopted’ him from a backyard breeder. They brought him in to be euthanized because he was very, very sick. They were aware that one of his litter mates had already died of the parvovirus. They brought him in to be euthanized but they didn’t have the money to pay for euthanizing. The hospital staff thought 4 Paws 1 Heart may want to save him. We did and he was surrendered to us. Gina will report later tonight how he is doing. If this little guy makes it, we will need a rescue to take him in. Thank You for keeping him in your prayers. ~ diana

9/9/14 – Update on our Mastiff Mix Puppy – No news from Gina is good news so I’m assuming this little guy is fighting the fight. I will know more later this afternoon. For now, I want to report that if if he recovers either Dr. Maria will adopt him or our great friends at A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue will take him in. Thanks for all of the prayers! ~ diana

9/7/14 – When I say it never ends, I mean it!! Our friend, Jo, called last night saying she was called about 5 kittens (about 5 weeks old ?) and a 6-month old (?) found in a dumpster. The person who rescued them from the dumpster said she could only keep them until the shelter opens tomorrow. Thankfully, we have had a couple of 4p1h friends offer to help with fostering and it appears that Penny B. will be helping out until we can find something more permanent. I will report later once everyone is safe and see where we have to go from there. In the mean time here is the photo taken by their rescuer. Our thanks to her for caring! ~ diana

9/10/14 Update – All felines are safe with Penny B. but we are still looking for a foster in that she is already fostering her share of felines.  There was also another 6 month old cat given to the transporter who was not part of the original call.  Please contact Jo Add at [email protected] if you can help

9/6/14 – Good Morning: The many cats spayed/neutered/vaccinated/tested made possible by our generous donors and attendees at our fundraisers. The stories are too many to tell but thought I would start your day knowing that all of these sweet animals have been saved and will never reproduce again. A couple were returned to their colony but the majority are in the process of finding their forever homes. Thank YOU. ~ diana (8 photos)

9/5/14 – Meet Rocket (aka Little Guy): We received a call from our Friends at a Ferndale Cat Shelter and an individual who had been caring for this sweet boy while he was outside. He had a wound on his head and was very sweet. 4p1h agreed to pay for his medical treatment, as it turned out he had been already neutered, and now he is loving life with a great family. ~ diana

9/4/14 – PHOEBE – A friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart was walking out of the hospital he works at in Detroit. He heard a dog crying and saw a crowd of people gathered. As he approached the crowd he saw a dead puppy who looked like his body had been broken in half and next to him was another dog, crying in distress. Allegedly, the dead puppy was hit by a car but our friend believed otherwise. He immediately took the crying dog and brought her home. 4 Paws 1 Heart took care of her vetting and first round of vaccinations and we will pay for her spaying when she is old enough. She is about 10 – 13 weeks old. Another life saved because of the donations of our friends and the kindness of strangers. Thank You, Scott and Family. ~ diana

Another Beauty left behind but within a couple of days we not only found him a foster home  (which only lasted a couple of days), we found him a forever home!!!  We pray that he will never be abandoned again.
