2/8/17 – A few weeks ago we received a call from a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart who we’ve helped in the past with animals she has rescued. She had been on her way to a local cemetery when she noticed a very thin dog drinking from a muddy puddle. Her first reaction was to go buy a burger and feed him but when she approached him, he was so kind and he looked so pitiful, she knew that she had to save him. Although Shayla and her family are doing the best they can to keep Mickey rested because of an extreme case of heart worm, she could really use some help because with her animals and an active family where both adults work, she worries that Mickey is not getting all of the attention he would like and need. Thus far, 4 Paws 1 Heart has paid for Mickey’s initial visit where it was discovered that he would need surgery for his cherry eye and also need treatment for heart worm. He will also need vaccinating and neutering.; although, it will be at least another month before treatment can start. On Sunday, I received another call from Shayla because her dog caught Mickey’s cherry eye and his Mickey’s eye was swelling. We made immediate arrangements for Mickey to see a vet that day. 4 Paws 1 Heart is committing to helping Mickey get happy and healthy again. ~ diana
