9/26/15 Please consider donating today. In addition to the usual vetting and spaying/neutering that goes on with every animal we assist, we are currently committed to assisting in a few very expensive cases. This is in addition to the ongoing care of Sommerset, Chance and Magic who will be fitted with a brace. This is Rufus. He is a 162 pound Mastiff whose owner was tired of having him around and was going to have him euthanized at the shelter. A caring woman heard of Rufus’ fate and with our help, had Rufus surrendered to her. She took Rufus to the vet for a health check and learned he was heart worm positive. Because of his size, the cost of treatment will be substantial but between 4 Paws 1 Heart and her own fundraising efforts, we will make sure that Rufus gets the life saving treatment he needs. ~ diana
