3/24/15 – A huge thanks to Robin Maghielse of Robin Photography for, once again, creating this beautiful video of our Katniss Everdeen.http://video214.com/play/K4YS1WmqRQauBNANyNviFQ/s/dark We recognize that some of our friends have been disappointed with a few of our adoption decisions but we stand by our commitment to always be about what is best for the animals who have come into our lives. Katniss has continued to heal physially and mentally and for that we are so very thankful to the love and care given to her by Gina and Carrie and her family. Please enjoy this heartwarming video and remember that without our friends who support us with donations and attending our fundraisers, the many animals we have helped would not be here to give us joy. Katniss has not been adopted yet and we are still searching for the perfect home. If you think it is yours, go to our Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart fb page, click on the tab ‘contact us’ and then click on ‘go to link’ to fill out an application for adoption. ~ diana

3/23/15 – We are happy to help Friends of Scooby with the heart worm treatment for Luca. Here is his story:

Luca had a family who didn’t think much of him. He lived outside in a backyard with a dog house that was broken and too small for him and minimal human contact for 2 years. Then, Luca’s family packed up and moved leaving him there outside and alone. For the first week they were gone, someone would stop by once a day and feed him. Then it turned to every other day or every third day. This went on for a while until someone contacted Friends of Scooby who was able to get Luca surrendered to them. After months of working with Luca to overcome his fears, anxiety, stress, and lack of training, he was finally able to be taken to the veterinary. Unfortunately, he was found to be heart worm positive. 4 Paws 1 Heart is thankful that we can help Luca with his medical bills and we hope that some day soon he will be fully recovered and in a loving home. Please follow Luca’s progress on the Friends of Scooby facebook page. ~ diana

3/18/15 – Shorty Update!   First of all, “I Love Shorty”!!! 
I am VERY happy to report that Shorty (Yorkie/Pit Bull Mix), is on the road to recovery! Tonight we picked him up some ground sirloin & rice which he loved! He is full grown and 11 pounds. We don’t expect him to get any bigger other than the need to gain couple pounds on his skinny little body. One of our favorite rescue groups, Dog Aide, has offered to take Shorty:) Thank you all for the prayers, we expect him to make a full recovery. I’m cooking some more ground hamburger to deliver tomorrow! ♡ 

On another note—I know it’s CRAZY and Shorty looks NOTHING like a Yorkie, BUT we know for a fact his mom was a Yorkie and daddy a Pitty. He is full grown and 11#. PLEASE DO NOT GET ANY IDEAS TO BREED! SPAY/NEUTER YOUR ANIMALS! The mom is lucky to be alive and so is Shorty! This could have been a disaster! He is getting over Parvo Virus and once we are done getting him healthy he will be with Dog Aid. Here is their message…

“Hi everyone! Little Shorty (who we are going to call Odin) will be coming to Dog Aide Community Awareness Program in the next few days once 4 Paws tells us he is stable. If you are interested in fostering him or adopting him, please visit our page through the link above or send us an email at [email protected]. Thanks!”
