Bumper – Wandering the Streets With an Eye Ready to Rupture

Posted on by

9/19/16 – I know the photo of this little guy before his operation is graphic but I want you to know how your donations not only save lives but take away the unimaginable suffering of God’s most vulnerable creatures. Almost two weeks ago I received the following e mail:

“Hi. I’m trying to find help for a tiny kitten. A friend of mine found a tiny kitten with a very bad eye. He wants to keep the kitten but cannot afford a huge vet bill. He did take the kitten to Michigan Anti Cruelty on Joseph Campau in Detroit; they gave the kitten a dose of antibiotics and applied flea medication, charged him $40 and sent kitty home with him. I saw the kitten and her eye looks as if it’s going to rupture and it’s pus filled. The finder wants help for this baby so badly. Can you help him? He is willing to pay what he can towards a bill to help this poor tiny thing. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Mike”

Now, could you turn your back on this poor animal? Of course not — no matter how slow donations have been! In the past six years I’ve learned that some how, some way, things will always work out. So, we made arrangements for Bumper to be seen by one of our generous veterinarians the next morning and the eye, which had already ruptured, was removed. His pain was gone and his life was saved — all because of people who cared and didn’t turn their backs.

Bumper is being spoiled and his new dad is head over heels in love with him. This, my dear friends, is what this is all about. ~ diana

Ali on a Play Date

Posted on by

9/19/16 – ali-and-his-friends-91916 ali-and-his-friends-91916 ali-91916As we search for the perfect home, my foster puppy Ali had an awesome play date over the weekend! His new friends are teaching him some socializing skills. Ali has been raised by me since he was only 2 days old. My goal is to make him a well rounded puppy by exposing him to other animals and people. I’m extremely thankful for my friend and coworker Renee for offering to help during this process. This will be very helpful for Ali and for me! Renee is the pro! ♡ ♡ Gina

Shadow, Mocha, and Latte – While Pregnant, Thrown Out of a Moving Car –

Posted on by

916/16 – Last month I received a call for help from a woman in the Jackson, MI area. She had been driving her car on a major highway and saw, what looked to be a kitten, thrown out of the car’s window. She immediately pulled over and was able to get the cat who did not seem to be much older than a kitten. The cat had an indentation around the neck where a collar had obviously been. The cat had obviously been a pet at one time because she immediately began to snuggle and purr. Five weeks later, this beautiful cat, now named Shadow (because she is grey and follows the rescuer every where she goes), had 3 kittens. Unfortunately, one kitten died because Shadow’s milk had dried up before the rescuers realized it. The rescuers then immediately started to bottle feed the rest. As you can see, the kittens (Latte and Mocha) are now doing great. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to pay for Shadow’s and the kittens’ spay/neuter, vaccinations, and testing. They are now ready to be adopted. Anyone interested in adopting these beauties should contact Jean at: [email protected] Remember that everyone is in the Jackson, MI area.

Baby and Saint – Flea and Tick Infested; Baby Suffering with a Broken Leg

Posted on by

9/15/16 – Meet Baby and Saint. They were found flea and tick infested and Baby had something wrong with her leg. 4 Paws 1 Heart made arrangements for them to be seen the same day and it was determined that Baby’s leg was broken. Both kittens were treated, vaccinated, and tested and Baby’s leg was set. She goes in for her follow up visit in a couple of weeks.

Please continue to pray for all of these poor animals who have been dumped or allowed to be born on the streets. Can you imagine the number who would have died had it not been for the caring people who don’t turn their backs, the generous people who donate hard earned dollars, and 4 Paws 1 Heart. ~ dianababy-and-saintwith-denise-najera-and-crystal-wendorf-82916

Prince – Injured in a Fight with Fellow Rescues

Posted on by

9/14/16 – When our friend, Megan, from Friends of Scooby Rescue, contacted us about this little guy, we knew we had to help. Here is his story and also let this be a lesson to all of our friends. You can never be too careful when children and animals are involved. ~ diana

“Prince is a senior Shih Tzu who has been passed around his whole life. He is currently in a long term foster home due to his age and medical needs (arthritis and blind). The other night everything was going on as usual; Dogs were being rotated; food and meds were being given; and kids were running in and out the doors. As careful as we try to be, sometimes accidents happen. One of the kids let Prince into an area of the house where he shouldn’t have been at the time and he was attacked by another foster dog. Because adults were in the area, the fight was broken up rather quickly. Prince was still injured but only required to be cleaned up, antibiotics, pain meds and a rabies booster. He had 2 puncture wounds on his throat and a superficial scratch on the top of his neck. Thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart he is resting comfortably at home. Thanks again”prince-wmegan-blass-83016prince-wmeganblass-83016
