12/5/14 – Katniss Everdeen is sporting her new sweater from auntie Diana;) ♡

12/5/14 – I’ve mentioned this before but this year has truly been the Year of the Cat. Our friends, Jo A., Debra B., Debbie N., Joanne H., Dee G., Cynthia W., Denise N., and a few others have spent countless hours rescuing cats/kittens this year. Some were abandoned by their families–locked in garages, left in the home or just tossed out on the street, some were thrown in dumpsters, others were obviously adoptable even though they were found in feral colonies, and far too many were just born as strays on the streets. We were very happy to spay/neuter every cat/kitten who needed it and provide vaccines. We were thankful that because of our supporters we have been able to help those who were injured or ill. Because I wasn’t able to keep up with all of the individual stories when they were happening, I thought I would share their photos. For this group, if anyone is interested in adoption, please contact Jo at [email protected] or go to our Petfinder page. Over the next few days, I will be highlighting these sweet felines.

12/5/14 – I am very excited to report that Tobias just went to his new foster!!! If anyone is interested in providing him a forever home please email me as soon as possible. [email protected]. We are looking for a home with a fenced in yard and no small children. Preferably no small cats because we don’t know how he would be around cats. ♡♡♡♡♡

4 Paws 1 Heart funds medical treatment for the abandoned and abused. Without donations we could not make a difference in the lives of the many animals who have come through the doors of emergency or who have come to our attention by rescue organizations and individual rescuers. Every day we try to show you where your hard-earned money is spent by posting their stories. On this ‘Giving Tuesday’ I thought it only appropriate to again highlight one of our first major cases, Peanut. Peanut was brought in to the emergency by a caring man who had seen Peanut’s lifeless body laying in the corner of a family member’s home. When Peanut came in, he couldn’t lift his head to eat. Gina really didn’t know if he could be saved. But with our medical dollars, the great staff at the emergency, Gina’s love, and later the love and attention of his forever mom, Mary, Peanut is alive and well and living in Florida during the winter. Now that is one lucky dog!! All made possible through the love and donations of our supporters. ~ diana

12/2/14 – We just want to thank Bark-A-Bout of Shelby Twp., MI, Tina Amore, Manager, and all of the caring employees who worked on the Paw Painting project for raising $1,400 which will be shared between 4 Paws 1 Heart and the Davinci Foundation. Here is our Joy with the painting she did for one of her special supporters. Notice the heart and the paw print. She also gave a big kiss of thanks to Tina. ~ diana

12/2/14 –  Please open up your heart to this little beauty. Contact our partner, Amanda, at the Advanced Animal Emergency. ~ diana

12/1/14 – Happy Lunch Hour: Remember our Sonic? He spent several weeks in the emergency after having been attacked by a dog. He is still under our care while his mouth heals but he was adopted by a loving young woman, Liz, and her mom. Sonic has been re-named “Dino” and he is much loved and cared for. Once again, see what love and your donations can do to make a difference. ~ diana
