8/21/18 – This poor little guy, was found wandering the streets, very emaciated with sores on his body (probably from fleas). Jim saw our vet yesterday and, thankfully, he was heart worm negative. He was treated for severe fleaI infestation and will be neutered when he’s gained some weight and is healthy. If all goes well, Jim will find his forever home with his rescuer. Remember that donations made this anniversary week will be matched up to $1,500; we’re still working towards the goal.https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

8/20/18 – Celebrating 8 years of making a difference in the lives of over 5,000 animals. If you have been thinking about making a difference, now is the time while donations (up to $1,500) are being matched. It was 2012 when Hercules came into our lives.

8th Anniversary – Looking Back at the Many Miracles – Snickers
8/19/18 – Looking Back at the Many Miracles. Remember Snickers. It was 2013 when a young man found this very sick kitten in an icy puddle in an alley in Hamtramck, MI. A village came together to get him to the emergency hospital where Gina worked. We thought he’d lose an eye but with lots of love and medical attention, both he and his eye survived.

Nala – Abandoned Twice – Hoping That Third Time is the Charm
8/18/18 – Poor Nala was abandoned twice by her owners but luckily her first owners lives near our good friend, Denise, who is the mom of Chance and Team. Denise thought for sure the second adopters would provide her a forever home but that was not to be. Fortunately for Nala, Denise continued to be her Guardian Angel. ~ diana
“Happy Life Nala!!!!
Nala’s adoption went amazing today and shes on her way to paradise as we type this! She took to her new mom Shirley right away! Shirley is extremely knowledgeable about dogs with Nalas temperament and Border Collies in general. Shes going to have 40acres of land, trails, river & lake and be super loved & cherished. Her brand new bed was in the back of the SUV for her ride home with her mom and their neighbor and when the time came to leave, Nala jumped right in with the biggest smile on her face like she just knew she was going home at last. Nalas fur siblings are anxiously waiting to greet her! Huge thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart, Tom & Marilyn Bedell Pontack and Shirley’s niece Karen for helping to make this tricky adoption happen. We love you Nala, enjoy the best years of your life at your amazing new home!- Denise”

Stella – Found Under a Car, Crying Throughout the Night
8/16/18 – One of our rescue friends received a call about a kitten who was found under a car who had been crying though out the night. Our friend went to her aid and saw that the little baby was lethargic and had something wrong with her paw; she was immediately taken to the vet where it was found that Stella had a slight upper respiratory infection and conjunctivitis. She was also treated for the swollen paw.
She is now doing well and we assisted in paying for Stella to be spayed and vaccinated. It does take a Village. ~ diana
