9/17/15 – A report from our rescue friend, Krissy Kerwin:
“Thank you, for helping with these two babies. They were the only two of five that survived after being stuck in a basement ceiling and walls. They were adopted this week, TOGETHER.
-Together, forever (Sammy and Oliver).”
9/18/15 – Great News! Remember Nino? He is the little Manx cat brought into an emergency hospital. The little guy was found at an industrial site. His non-blood sibling, Wicket, had to be humanely euthanized because of many health issues which included Manx syndrome. We are so happy that Eric and Jessie decided to give Nino a forever loving home. Love you, little one! ~ diana
Foster Mom, Dee, reported:
Little Nino went to his forever home last night! Happy life little guy, I will miss you ♥Thankyou 4 Paws 1 Heart for all youve done for this sweet baby & thankyou Eric &Jessie Marie Almstadt for choosing adoption!
9/17/15 – Thumbs up from MSU at our appointment yesterday! They like the way the surgery is healing:) Stitches come out Tuesday! On another note Sommerset has a urinary tract infection. We noticed her vulva is a little tucked into the folds in her tummy. This isn’t uncommon, but a surgery will need to be done eventually.. probably at the time of her spay. They basically do a tummy tuck. (STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS). [email protected]
9/16/15 – In a few more hours Dr. Maria, Sommerset, and I will be heading over to Michigan State University for a post-op checkup. Sommerset had reconstructive surgery on her scar tissue 1 week ago by one of the very best soft tissue surgeons, Dr. Stanley. The doctors don’t know for certain, but suspect that a contaminated bag of subcutaneous fluids caused the damage.
Thank you all for your positive thoughts and your donations during our journey with this beautiful little girl. We are blessed to have your support in giving animals like this a chance of life. Auntie Venus and Uncle Jeff have been absolutely wonderful with puppy sitting, and I could NOT have done it without them!!! I will keep you all posted after our visit at MSU in the morning. Gina and Sommerset.♡
9/15/15 – This is Lily, another sweet kitten found on the streets needing medical help. Thank you to Bethe for saving her. It was our pleasure to pay for the medical treatment. ~ diana
9/12/15 – Aunt Lori sent this message and photos to us.
“This is the infamous Hercules whose story touched hundreds of people. He was at the4 Paws 1 Heart 5K today with his Mom. The picture on the left is as he is today. The picture on the right is how Hercules was after his abuse that caused orthopedic damage when I first met him. I worked with this boy for 9 months with hydrotherapy and his Mom is keeping him in top form! So great to see him and how well he is doing! We all love him here at 4 Paws 1 Heart! He’s amazing“
Some of our best dressed dogs from our 5K event yesterday. Although our baby, Sammi, didn’t win in her beautiful pumpkin costume, she is still very special to us. Sammi was brought into the emergency hospital in 2011 dying of Parvo. Gina and the great emergency staff saved her and ever since she has been living in the best home ever. She is the ‘pumpkin’ of her daddy’s eyes. ~ diana 
9/13/15 – What makes a human so callous and cruel that they can throw out an animal they once had as a pet?? This beautiful baby was found living in a carport. Her medical needs were taken care of by 4 Paws 1 Heart and she nows has a temporary foster. If anyone is interested in Cammie, please contact Jo at [email protected] ~ diana
9/12/15 – 
Simba has 8 toes on each paw and he’s adorable!
He is 5 yrs old and in need of a good home. Simba was surrendered to us on Labor day. He blocked (couldn’t urinate), and he was going to be euthanized. His family loved him very much, but this was an emergency they couldn’t handle. Often times, once unblocked by a veterinarian, a change in diet is all that’s needed to manage this issue, but occasionally more aggressive treatment is needed. If you can find it in your ♡ or know someone looking for a very sweet cat please email me. [email protected]
9/12/15 – It was so much fun catching up with some of the dogs helped by 4 Paws 1 Heart. This little Piglet is Bailey. She was rescued this past summer; her owner no longer wanted her but, thankfully, there was someone who did. Bailey is an older dog who might be deaf and has heart issues but she had a great time at the Walk/Run Fur Fun Event today. ~ diana
