Liberty – Thrown Out of the Back of a Vehicle

Posted on by

Thankfully, Gina was there and because of the amazing support of our donors and Gina’s strong connections to the medical world, 4 paws 1 heart was able to have this dog taken to and treated by emergency doctors — but, unfortunately the owners cannot reimburse. We never know the situation with a stray animal. We are thankful an owner was found. We just pray that the owner will be more watchful. There is still a dog missing. – diana

“Female, adult, mixed breed, about 65 pounds, no chip, no identification, was seen tossed out of truck on 94 and 8 mile. Detroit. It happened yesterday about 4:30 PM. She was hit by 2 cars and a good samaritan brought her to the hospital. She is receiving medical treatment for her injuries. If you have any information regarding her owners or a description of the vehicle please contact me. [email protected]”Liberty 6:30:18

Ozzie – He Was Abused an Abandoned

Posted on by

6/29/18 – Rebel Dogs Detroit recently took in a female who shortly afterward had 13 puppies. We have helped them recently with a couple of dogs and the other day they were called about, who they think, is the ‘father’ of the 13 puppies. He was wandering the streets after the family that had been abusing him moved away and abandoned him. We were happy to pay for Ozzie to be neutered, tested, and vaccinated. No more puppies for Ozzie! Anyone interested in adopting Ozzie should contact Juniper at Rebel Dogs Detroit ~ dianaozzie 6:29:18 ozzie w:baby 6:29:18

Kittens – Rescued from Large Cat Communities

Posted on by

6/28/18 – Our friend, Debra B., has been working very hard to get control of two very large cat colonies in St. Clair Shores. Both are being cared for by elderly ladies who didn’t realize how quickly cat colonies can become overwhelmed. When possible the kittens are being placed in homes and the older cats are being spayed/neutered. Here are three of the most recent to get their ‘make-overs’. ~ diana

Kittens in Abusive Household – The Spouse Threatened to Harm the Kittens

Posted on by

6/27/18 – Please continue to pray for all of those who must rely on the kindness of humans. An independent rescuer who we’ve often helped, came across an urgent ‘call-out’ for help. The person needed to find someone to take in 4 kittens who were being threatened by her abusive spouse. She would not leave the home until the kittens were safe and had been hiding them. It took a little planning, but the four kittens made it to safety and in just a couple of days their upper respiratory infections have become severe. The kittens were immediately brought to a vet and we are not only praying for their full recovery but for the safety of the person who put out that desperate call for help. Concern for a pet in the home is one of the primary reasons that a victim of abuse will not leave the household. Unfortunately, abuse is a complex issue that touches humans and animals. ~ dianakitten spousal abuse 6:29:18 kitten spousal abuse- 6:29:18 kitten spousal abuse===6:29:18 kitten spousal abused - 6:29:18 ==

Montana – Used and Abused by a Backyard Breeder

Posted on by

6/25/18 – Montana was used by a backyard breeder, likely kept in the backyard, in horrible living conditions where her repeated ear infections were not treated. Her ears formed scar tissue that narrowed her ear canal and trapped bacteria and infection, while continuing the cycle of more ear infections. Despite the pain and discomfort involved, she is very sweet and generous with her love and affection. Montana found herself in a municipal shelter where she would have been euthanized due to her medical costs, but staff/volunteers lobbied to give this girl a chance which is how she ended up with I Heart Dogs. During her first ear surgery, her ear canal was closed and she has lost hearing in that ear. I Heart Dogs elected to save her hearing in the second ear (where there was less damage) and 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to contribute to this surgery. Eventually, Montana will be available for adoption through I Heart Dogs, Warren, MI. ~ diana

Princess – RIP – Found on the Side of a Road; Died After Surgery

Posted on by

6/24/18 – RIP Sweet Princess. Princess was one of 17 kittens and 3 females found on the side of a trail in Hines Park, Dearborn, MI. Many of the kittens had upper respiratory infections but one, especially, was very serious — as you can see from the ‘before’ photo. We were asked to help but because of limited funds and the number of commitments we have on tap already, we could not take on everyone but we did agree to help Princess. Princess had her eye removed on June 16 and up until last night was doing great. And then, while in the arms of her rescuer, she had a seizure and died. We are all heartbroken but will continue to do what we can to assist with the others suffering with upper respiratory infections. We are so grateful that this wonderful rescuer was able to flood Princess with kisses as she was crossing the Rainbow Bridge. ~ dianaprincess 6:16:18 princess w:shannon caudill 6:16:18

Leila – Found Strangling in a Garage

Posted on by

6/22/18 – Leila was found near the Indiana border, strangling in a garage. She was rescued by a good Samaritan but she couldn’t keep her. Leila had deep cuts on her neck and arm and is very small. Karen went and picked her up and took, with the help of 4Paws1Heart, to the vet. She was given an antibiotic for her cuts, dewormed, treated for ear mites, and tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia. Leila weighed in at 1.5 pounds.

Leila is having a fabulous time at Karen’s house. She is using the litter box and eats like a champ. She is very inquisitive and loves to snuggle and sleep on the family members. When old enough, we will also make sure Leila is spayed. Anyone interested in this cutie should contact Karen at: [email protected] ~ dianaleila---6:22:18 leila 6:22:18 leila--6:22:18
