Team Chance and 4 Paws 1 Heart Wishes All Moms a Happy Mother’s Day

Posted on by

5/12/19 – I couldn’t have said it better. Happy Mother’s Day to all and thank you for making our mission possible. A number of these cuties continue to be supported by 4 Paws 1 Heart because they have been deemed un-adoptable due to age or injuries. May God watch over all of the mothers – fur or human. And, during another difficult “kitten season”, we commit to do everything we can to reduce the number of unwanted animals from being born. ~ diana

Figaro, Sylvester, Berlioz, Gideon, and Oliver – Rescued in an Auto Shop

Posted on by

5/10/19 – If you thought Kitten Season was fake news, it’s not. A few years ago we were called on to help several cats who had been living with a young woman murdered by a neighbor. Her friend, Natalie, contacted us for help for their medical needs as well as helping to find furever homes. Although some found new homes, our friend, Natalie, and her family continued to care those those who didn’t. Natalie’s son now works in an auto shop and in the past few months he has rescued kittens who have found their way into the shop. Here are five who 4 Paws 1 Heart will be sponsoring for their medical. Meet Figaro, Sylvester, Berlioz, Gideon, and Oliver. Anyone interested in these little beauties should contact Natalie at: [email protected]

Dexter – Left Behind in a Basement When Owners Moved

Posted on by

5/9/19 – Meet Dexter. His owner left him behind, in the basement, when they moved. Our friend, Megan, with Friends of Scooby, took him in and brought him to one of our favorite veterinarians, Dr. Zalac, Orion Animal Hospital. Dexter had a broken tooth, an abscess on his face, and had ‘yeasty’ ears. He had surgery yesterday to extract the broken tooth and dental cleaning. He was also given antibiotics for his infections. Anyone interested in this very abused boy should contact Megan at: [email protected] . ~ diana

Harry – He Appeared in a Cat Community With a Severe Eye Infection

Posted on by

5/6/19 – Harry is a member of a cat community who showed up with a very infected eye. There was much concern that his eye would have to be removed. Harry was taken to one of our vet partners where he was given medication for an upper respiratory infection and an injury to his eye. His caretaker was successful in treating him every day and, after a re-examination of his eye, it was determined that Harry would be keeping his eye. The other good news is that Harry will now become an inside kitty. He has not left his caretaker’s porch and at night she would bring him in. Now he will stay in. There are so many animals who need our help and without your support, we couldn’t do it. Thank YOU – Diana

Piggy – She Was Living in Filth on a Porch – No Shelter and No Food/Water

Posted on by

5/5/19 – Piggy Update. Anyone interested in this beauty should contact Megan at Friends of Scooby Rescue, [email protected] Again, without our donors, we could not make a difference in so many lives. – diana

“I met this dog and her yard mate a little over a year go. She was living in filth on a porch with broken windows, no shelter from the elements and no food or water. While her yard mate was living on a chain with no straw in his dog house, a frozen water bucket and a food bowl full of mud.

I started providing food and straw to fatten up their scrawny bodies. They were vaccinated and Micro-chipped. And then sent to be spayed and neutered – it was there that we discovered Piggy had severe ear infections in both ears and Cauz was heartworm positive with elevated kidney and liver levels. We started the process of treating both dogs and they were moved up north to a foster home. Their amazing foster taught them how to be a house dog. She gave them stability, rules and a routine. She taught them that all humans aren’t bad and showed them unconditional love.
3 weeks after being cleared for adoption, Piggy tore her CCL in her right knee requiring surgery. Football squares were sold, bottles were returned, donations were collected – what we lacked, 4 Paws 1 Heart made up the difference. Surgery was done on December 17th and she was moved to another foster home closer to me. She is still in the healing process but she is doing fantastic. She is now on her 3rd foster home and waiting to be adopted.
She loves kids and other dogs and most recently we discovered she is OK with cats. – Megan”piggy 5:4:19

Pretty Girl (aka Lollipop) – Happy Update After Her Amputation

Posted on by

5/5/19 – Happy Update on Pretty Girl (now Lollipop). As a reminder, Pretty Girl was the resident feline of a green house where she was much loved. We were originally told that she fell off the roof but recently we were advised by the greenhouse owners that they don’t know how she broke her leg. Nonetheless, Lolli, found her way to 4 Paws 1 Heart and Dr. Zalac where she had her broken leg amputated.

“Hi Diana, I renamed Pretty Girl, Lollipop; I call her Lolli. Day three post op she is walking, getting curious, and jumping on the couch. Currently she’s sitting in the sun watching birds. Just look at that face. She seems much happier than in the original photo. Thank you again for helping her. Dr. Zalac is awesome – Julie”

Again, without your donations, these animals would not have a second chance at life. Thank YOU from Lolli. ~ diana

Blu – His Owner Died and the Friends Who Took Over Could No Longer Care For Him

Posted on by

5/3/19 – Meet Blu (the boy on the left). Sadly, his owner died a few months ago and the friends who took him in are now being evicted from their home and can’t continue to care for him. Fortunately, our friend, Cortney, has found a foster and will take him in under her rescue but we will pay for him to be neutered. So very sad for all involved. Anyone interested in this sweetheart should contact Cortney at: [email protected] . – diana
