2/20/15 –  Remember our “Blizzard” from Channel 4, WDIV-Detroit? He was found outside in the snow storm, and then transported to us by Misfit Angels? Well, he had the surgery to remove glass that he had eaten and he has been in a foster home to evaluate his temperament. Blizzard is a one person dog, no other animals, no kids, and a low key household. He takes time to warm up.

Savanah – Shot in the Paw and Now She Loses Her Leg

2/20/15 — Yesterday afternoon her leg had to be amputated due to the infection from her gunshot wound traveling to the rest of her toes. Unfortunately, this was the result of someone who we feel intentionally shot her leaving her paw destroyed. Late last night she was walking and eating some homemade steak and rice. This is a very sweet girl who deserves a very loving home with someone. Please contact Gina.4paws1heart@ gmail.com if you would like more information.

HERCULES – Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy For Pets

Remember “Hercules”? His previous owner in Eastpointe not only starved him but he intentionally broke both of his back legs above the knees because he got into the garbage. This happened almost 3 years ago. Hercules couldn’t walk, but used his front legs to carry his weight. The owner got 1 year non-reporting probation and a misdemeanor. He wasn’t allowed to have a dog for 1 year, but now he can own a dog because that year is up. Disgusting. Hercules was adopted by Dr. Tari Kern who worked with him endlessly, and now he can walk and run! He was given a 2nd chance because of her passion for what she does for a living. Many animals are put down due to injuries, but there is hope with Dr. Kern! Her patients are not there for annual check up’s, they are there for rehabilitation therapy. The work she and her staff do should be recognized because they are giving injured animals a chance. There is homework, training, commitment, and an outlined plan depending on the condition of the animal. Please share what she is doing because you might save a life by letting others know that Dr. Kern is here to help. Thank you

2/18/15 – 2/19/15 – Another shout out to Dr. Tari Kern and Hercules. Thank you so much for helping us tell the 4 Paws 1 Heart story by joining us for the Leadership Macomb Leadership Day. Once again, our boy, Hercules stole the show. Dr. Kern, you are the best and Hercules, we love you. ~ Aunt Dihercules2:18:15herculesanddianaat LM2:18:15Herculesatleadershipmacomb2:18:15

Savanah – Purposely Shot in the Paw

2/19/15 – This is what can happen when your dog’s get out. People shoot them! We have bad news for “4 Paws 1 Heart” Savanah.. She is scheduled for amputation surgery today because despite all efforts to save her paw it is getting progressively worse (the pic of her paw is from tonight). She was shot in the foot about 2 weeks ago, and her foot was pretty much mutilated. The doctor put it back together beautifully, but it’s not healing. Please pray for her recovery because she is probably going to have to lose her leg. If you would like to donate towards her medical care visit our website at:https://4paws1heart.org/donations/ We have been nonstop with major cases, and without your help we could not do this. Thank you. Gina
