Please share and help us remind everyone that 4 Paws 1 Heart is restricted to assisting only abandoned, stray, and abused animals. Very often owners who need medical assistance will be referred to us but we cannot help them. Unfortunately that results in a disappointed and sometimes angry owner. When we incorporated with the State of Michigan and filed for our 501c3, we knew we could not afford medical care for all. Consequently we restricted all expenditures to animals without owners. We truly wish we could help every animal but we are a very small organization which relies totally on individual donors and small fundraisers. We do not receive grants and are just thankful that we have been able to help as many animals as we’ve had because of the generosity of our community. – diana
