The Shih Tzu Five – Left Alone at One Week Old
1/15/16 –
A full tummy, a warm bath, and new outfits = 5 cozy happy sleepy babies.. They are now just over 5 weeks old. All are doing very well. This weekend I’m printing out all applications, and reviewing them. Now is the time to get your application in if you haven’t already. Once I finalize the list I’ll post the names of those I have received just in case I’ve missed yours. Thank you all for your patience.. Gina

Mandy & Miles – Munchkins Abandoned and Still Looking For Their Forever Home
1/14/16 – 
Meet Mandy and Miles. They were dropped off on the porch of a friend who has been following 4 Paws 1 Heart for a while. These little beauties have been vetted and tested and being treated for a mild upper respiratory infection. They will be spayed/neutered when appropriate. They have short, little legs and, thankfully, because of Lisa, they are safe and sheltered. Anyone interested in adopting these sweeties should contact Lisa at [email protected]
Bootsie and Cutie – Living a Life in the Cruel Outdoors – Now Forever Saved
1/13/16 – Meet Bootsie and Cutie. Kathy B. had contacted us originally about a ‘feral’ cat, Cutie, and then about a ‘feral’ cat (Bootsie) with an injured leg. She needed help in catching the little guy. Well, it took a little while but Bootsie was finally caught and, like so many, he isn’t really feral — just another dumped or lost animal who has had to fend for himself. Bootsie was taken to the vet who found that his leg injury was an old one that couldn’t be addressed but otherwise Bootsie is healthy. In the process of capturing Bootsie, another kitten was found, Fluffy, and now she has been taken to the vet. We will be getting more information and a photo on Fluffy.~ diana
“Diana, I just want to thank you and your Team and the Partners that take care of the needs of all our loving furry friends.
I have never been more excited to help rescue and make a difference in our fur babies lives!! Cutie was the first kitten I rescued and she is happy and healthy in a home where she is treated like a princess. Bootsie is the second rescue and she’s very gentle and loving. She will be living with me and my family. I’m making great progress socializing her. The third rescue I call Fluffy and we will try to socialize her as well after she has been spayed. Fingers crossed that she can also have a furever home!!
Thank you again
Kathy”
Working Together to Save A Dog From Certain Death
1/12/16 – This very sweet girl was locked up for over 5 months at the veterinary facility that Eastpointe, MI and Roseville, MI contracts with for their ‘animal control’. Sterling Heights, MI had contracted with them also but I’m not sure of what that City is doing today. The fact that the facility charges between $150 – $210 for a rescue to pull the animals might have something to do with why animals are in a cage for so long. And though you would think their charges are based on their medical expenses, I’ve been advised that many of the animal’s basic medical needs are not taken care of. Our good friend of Hopeful Heart Rescue brought the situation to our attention and our other good friends at Bully’s Angels jumped in and rescued this sweet girl. We are happy to send medical dollars to assist Bully’s Angels as they attempt to rescue a couple of other long-term animals. Anyone interested in this sweetheart, should contact Bully’s Angels. ~ diana
Butch – The Rottie Who Was Found Hit By A Car – Update
1/12/16 – 
I would like to send a huge thank you to Dr. Ryan Warnnemuende and his staff at “Jensens Animal in Petoskey Michigan”, for providing top of the line care to Butch.
Butch, a 5 month old Rottweiler, was hit by a car over the weekend. We were contacted and offered to help financially. Butch was surrendered and orthopedic surgery was scheduled.
His surgery was yesterday and it went very well. Butch had 3 fractures, crushed bone, and he now has a plate and some screws, but he is expected to have a good prognosis. Dr. Ryan also neutered and vaccinated Butch!
Dr. Graves will be fostering Butch during his recovery and once permanent placement is found Butch will start the next chapter of his journey. Thank you to everyone involved!!!!! Gina
