Omg! Guess what???? I used the litterbox last night!!!!! Yes my foster mom helped me get my back half in, and yes she helped me steady myself, but Im the one who hurled my top half over the side of the box to let her know I wanted to try and use the box and Im the one who did my buisness in the box! Annnnnd….Im kicking my back legs in reaction to getting my tummy tickled!!!! Im working really hard at my excercises and my foster mom says there is definitely marked improvement in my back legs and Im swinging my tail. Tomorrow I have another appt with Dr. Kern, I cant wait to show her what I can do!!!! Happy Thursday everybody! And please remember to continue to donate and support 4 Paws 1 Heart so kitties and dogs like me can continue getting the medical help we need  Love & purrs, Chance”chance4:9:15

Ginger – The Beauty

4/8/15 – Last week Ginger had surgery on an old gun shot wound that was causing irritation to her ankle bone. One of our doctors at the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center worked very hard to clean out the bullet fragments. Today Ginger is doing well, but the next thing we will be looking at scheduling is her first heartworm treatment. She is a survivor and she has had so much love surrounding her. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. It will be a long road before she is out of the woods.. We will update soon.. Ginaginger 4:9:15

Joy – Recovers from Her Recent Surgery

4/8/15 – As of about 3:45 pm Joy is awakening from her final knee surgery. She looks so vulnerable and we do love her. For those of you that remember Joy, she was saved by 2 awesome Michigan State Troopers after being found injured from being hit by a car. Joy had her final surgery today which consisted of TPLO on her knee. Thanks to the support from all of you, we were able to cover the costs of her surgeries.

Hansel and Gretel – Backyard Breeders Willing to Sell Puppies to Anyone for $20

4/8/15 – 4 paws 1 Heart recently saved these 2 ADORABLE 8 week old puppies named ” Hansel and Gretel”. They came from a home where the previous owners were selling them for $20 each. This is why we push to spay and neuter your animals! Both puppies could’ve wound up in very bad situations. Unfortunately, we don’t know what happened to the rest of the litter, but we were at least able to help 2, and NO we did not pay for them. Aaron Fortin from NBS Rescue helped us network them into another rescue called POET. With all channels working hard to arrange transport these babies are now in a rescue safe. If u want information on adoption contact POET Rescue. Gina

Gordy (aka Beubien) – He Came To Us Dying of Parvo

4/8/15 – Good Morning News! You may remember our Gordy who was brought into the Emergency at 8 weeks old dying of parvo. With much care and love by Gina and the staff, Gordy recovered and was taken in by our friends with Happy Tails K9 + Feline Rescue. Well, we are happy to report that Gordy has been adopted by a great couple. Here are some photos of Gordy when he was first brought into the Emergency and now in his new home with his new Detroit Tigers shirt and his new big brother, Bagley. BTW, Gordy’s new name is Beaubien (Beau for short). If you are not familiar with Detroit, ‘Bagley’ is a street around the old Detroit Tiger stadium and ‘Beaubien’ is a street around the new stadium, Comerica Park. Do you think Beau’s new parents like the Detroit Tigers???? ~ dianaBagley&Beubien (aka Gordy4:4:15gordy (akaBeaubien4:6:15gordie3:10:15

Chance – Getting Treatment for His Paralysis

4/7/15 – First, let me apologize because Joy is not getting surgery until tomorrow April 8. I’m sure all of your prayers will still be good and I will let everyone know how she makes out as soon as I hear. Second, Chance saw Dr. Tari Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation and Therapy for Pets and Dr. Kern was cautiously optimistic about Chance’s prognosis. She believes Chance suffered and injury after being pulled from the shelter. Today Dr. Kern performed acupuncture and laser treatment on our sweet boy. Dee, his foster mom, said that Chance has actually sat up tonight — something he has never done. While everyone is in a prayer and positive energy mode, please continue to remember Joy whose surgery is tomorrow and our little Chance who will again be seeing Dr. Kern on Friday.chancew:acupuncture4:7:15 chancew:dr kern4:7:15 chancew:dr.kern::4:7:15
