SweetPea – Found Running the Streets After Being Thrown Out of a Car

Posted on by

1/10/19 – Meet SweetPea. She was found running the streets. The neighbors told the rescuer that she was thrown out of a car. SweetPea was rescued by a long-time supporter of 4p1h and she offered to foster while a rescue could find another foster home. A huge thank you to our friends at Rebel Dogs Detroit for taking SweetPea under their rescue. 4p1h was happy to cover SweetPea’s visit to the vet. It truly takes a village. ~ diana

Orion – RIP Sweet Boy – Found in a Field Unable to Move

Posted on by

1/9/19 – RIP Sweet Orion – The rescue community came alive when it was reported that this poor cat was laying out in the harsh weather of yesterday, seemingly unable to move. Our good friend, Shelley Emerson, contacted me and I approved for Orion to be taken to one of our favorite veterinarians, Dr. Zalac. Shelley made it to the office before closing and Orion was found to be nearly paralyzed in all four legs. X-Rays were done — all negative of breaks; basic blood work was done — all negative of any obvious issues. Dr. Z put Orion on general antibiotics and planned to test for toxoplasmosis in the morning. Just a little while ago, Dr. Z called me to say that Orion passed away during the night. The staff did everything to make her comfortable and warm. We are beyond thankful to our many vets who work with us and most importantly, people like Shelley who drove all of the way from the far east side of Macomb County to Fenton to Lake Orion. May God Bless her and all of the caring rescuers in our community. We can only be comforted by the fact that Orion did not die alone in that field. ~ diana

Snickers – Happy 5th Rescue Year

Posted on by

1/9/19 – I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since Snickers was saved on that freezing, miserable night. I had the pleasure of seeing Snickers New Year’s Day and he is as handsome as ever. Although, I did miss him climbing on our shoulders. It seemed to be a lazy day for him and he was busy watching the Penn State game. ~ Diana

 “1508198_10153710503150253_678783666_n snickers 1:9:191/9/14 – Dear Snickers.
Today is the day, one year ago you were found by a boy with a big heart… you were in an alley, freezing, sick and hungry. His Mom put out a plea on Craigslist for help for someone to come get you to get you to medical treatment…this is where Joey got his big heart. The plea was answered by Joanne who braved the horrible weather to get you and take you to the vet Gina DeLuca (from 4 Paws 1 Heart) was working at. Tears come to my eyes when I think about how Gina didn’t know if you would even survive, but they did everything they could and you fought so hard. Every baby step you made there was a whole Facebook community cheering you on and praying for you, including me, your Mom.

Huge thank yous go out to Joey, his Mom and Joanne for their life saving actions . Thank you 4 Paws 1 Heart who paid for his medical expenses to save him and his eyesight. Thank you Gina for saving him and fostering him. Thank you David Jeniofor giving Snickers someone to climb up and attack. Thank you Diana Rascano for all your time and effort for updating all of us on Snickers during his medical treatment. Thank you all for the love, prayer and support you gave Snickers.

Please consider donating to 4 Paw 1 Heart so they can continue to save lives of injured and sick helpless animals….they deserve a chance.
In honor of Snickers, his Dad & I will be making a donation in his name.
We love you so much buddy! – Dee (MOM)”

Raven – Update — She is Finished With Her Heart Worm Treatment and is Adopted

Posted on by

1/8/19 – Another Happy Update!! Raven is another pup who was rescued from the streets and found to have heart worm. Once again, because of the generosity of our supporters, we were able to pay for Raven’s heart worm treatment. And, just for those not familiar with heart worm treatment, it is very hard on the dogs and is very costly. It would not be surprising to me to learn that many dogs are ‘dumped’ by their owners once their pet is diagnosed. Raven is doing great and will be adopted by her foster family who volunteered for Rebel Dogs Detroit. ~ diana

Roscoe – He Showed Up on a Porch, Heart Worm Positive and Limping

Posted on by

1/3/19 – Roscoe showed up on a porch in Detroit. He is in rough shape. He has a skin irritation that has caused fur loss, scabbing, and scaling up his whole back side. He has a limp in one of his front paws that seems to be caused from an injury. He has many missing teeth and what is there are mostly rotten. He is also heart worm positive. And as if that wasn’t enough, he has a large tumor on his back that will have to be biopsied to find out if it’s cancerous. 4 Paws 1 Heart is funding Roscoe’s heart worm treatment and anyone interested in this sweet dog should contact our friends at Rebel Dogs Detroit who rescued him. Please remember him in your prayers. ~ diana
