Meet Rufus. It all started when we received an e-mail in September 2015 from a concerned person whose co-worker had a family dilemma. His mother-in-law was ill and could no longer care for her 162 pound, very loving, Mastiff. He could not care for him and Rufus was on his way to a shelter. Oh, and by the way, Rufus was diagnosed with heart worm. Most heart worm treatments can run between $900 to $1,800 depending on the weight of the dog.

Once we were assured that the owner would legally surrender Rufus and we were sure that Rufus would have a permanent loving home, we agreed to pay for Rufus’ heart worm treatment as well as any other medical needs. We are happy to share a recent message we received from his rescuer: ~ diana

“We are pleased to announce Rufus is officially heart worm negative thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart helping us in December with him when We rescued him to get his treatment. He also has a bit of a new name to go with his new healthy life. Please meet Sir Rufus James! ~ Melissa”Rufus 6:18:16
