10/14/14 – Rest in peace sweet puppy… Yesterday 4 paws 1 heart received a plea for help regarding this puppy who was very sick. This very nice family rescued him 2 days ago, and suddenly he went downhill fast. They were not prepared to take on this very sick puppy, but they were trying to save him and they did not want to see him suffer. They surrendered him to us, but he was so sick he couldn’t be helped. We ran some diagnostic testing and discovered he was in liver and kidney failure. He was only 8 weeks old. His skin was yellow, his gums yellow, and he had straight blood coming from his rear. Humane euthanasia helped prevent this puppy from further suffering. There are so many puppies in shelters that get put down every day because there are not enough homes. Please spay or neuter your pet to prevent pregnancies. Help decrease the population of unwanted animals. To many puppies and kittens die every day as a result of virus and illnesses. So before you buy that special breed.. Prevention, prevention, prevention… It hurts my heart to have to put down babies, so if I can get one person here to listen and encourage another person to spay or neuter…. gina

10/12/14 -This little 1# kitten is doing well. She is going to lose some skin on her abdomen due to the trauma and bacteria from the hook, but we expect her to pull through. It’s going to take one day at a time…Gina

Our Toby looking happier and healthier than ever! ~ Kathleen

Note:  Toby was rescued from a ‘free listing’ on Craig’s List.  Kathleen saw it and rescued him.  4 Paws 1 Heart took care of his medical expenses and Kathleen and her family took care of the rest. ~ diana

 “I never tire of telling “the Sammi” story. Brought into 4 Paws 1 Heart dying of parvo and a broken neck, she was signed off to 4p1h. Gina told me if I ever doubted miracles, look at Sammi, Through the love and support of 4 Paws 1 Heart and Gina, she is a healthy, happy and very spoiled dog.” ~ Dori

 “This is Jack! He was caught in a car fan and was literally skinned. Thanks to you guys, he had surgery, neutered, and all his shots. I was to foster him until he was healed enough to find his forever home. I knew, before he was healed, that I was his forever home!  Thank you for all you do!” ~ Gail

“This is Cassie (aka Panther Cat) formerly Onyx. We were new to our country home & experiencing a lot of change & uncertainty when this little darling limped up our driveway. Needless to say the last thing we had on our minds was a new addition to the family but we could not stand to see an animal suffer & we knew if we took her to a kill shelter she would certainly be put down due to how injured her leg seemed. We contacted Jo Sweeney Addington who earlier that day had lovingly agreed with her rescue to help the cat hoarder situation but directed me to 4 Paws 1 Heart for help. Gina DeLuca was diligent in her care & communication to get this baby seen & during that short time we fell in love & decided to foster & then adopt, knowing that Cassie might very well need her leg amputated. I was not all offended that Gina investigated our background to make sure that we were not deceitful in our attempt to seek free care for a current animal & that we could provide a safe home for a special needs animal-in fact this is the kind of organization I want to support-an organization with a clear mission statement that is run with integrity. Gina found the best care for Cassie & Dr. Pillsbury at Harper Woods veterinary hospital was even able to save her leg! We can never repay 4 Paws 1 Heart for the love Cassie has brought to our family but we continue to make them part of our monthly budget to support the needs of helpless abandoned injured animals. God bless your organization!!! 
Love,
Melody & Bill T.
