8/21/15 – Update on our little “Somerset”. We’re taking things one day at a time but she is not out of the woods. Last night there was blood work done and things did not look as great as we had hoped. She pooped out about 25 worms in the last two days, even had one crawl out of her mouth!!! She is anemic (probably due to the heavy worm burden), and we’re hoping that with those worms out of her system her anemia won’t get worse. She is for the most part eating on her own (as you can see), and she is sweet as can be. However there are random blisters showing up on her chest and we don’t know why or where they are coming from. Might be related to the trauma to her left front leg. She is on antibiotics and we will update again as soon as we know more. Please keep your prayers going we need all the prayers we can get for her survival. ~ Gina

8/20/15 – Anniversary Week ~~ Celebrating the many lives we saved. This is Fiona. It was 2012 when this 13 week old bundle of joy! She was found in an abandoned house in Detroit, scared, alone and on her death bed. A good Samaritan heard her cries for help and took her into the Emergency Clinic. It turns out that Fiona had Parvo. Parvo is a deadly virus that puppies, who are not fully vaccinated, can get and most puppies do not make it through Parvo. However, with the combined efforts of 4 Paws 1 Heart and the wonderful staff at the clinic, Fiona survived and with the help of our friends at A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue, a loving home was found. A huge thank you to Fiona’s wonderful mom who always keeps us updated. ~ diana
