Luke and LeLou – Two of Seven Kittens Rescued on the Street

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana

8/29/19 – Yesterday our friend Debra rescued 7 young kittens in her neighborhood. Of course 4p1h will be medically backing them. Another is pretty emaciated but his foster mom, Patricia, is experienced with this. Please say a prayer for the many animals roaming the streets without anyone to care for them. This is Luke, one of four taken in by Chance’s mom and Lelou, taken in by Patricia B. – diana

CHANCE: Well Team, vet visits are starting early for this little guy we are calling Luke. This is the baby we told you had the end of his tail missing. He will be going in today to have the exposed tip tended to at Patterson Veterinary Hospital thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Wish our little Luke luck, his appointment is at 3 and we’ll keep you posted. He’s a sweet, sweet little boy, thank goodness Auntie Debra rescued these babies! -Chance”

Pancake – When They Learned She Had Heart Worm; Everyone But One Abandoned Her

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana

8/28/19 – Pancake was being fostered by someone who thought she was fostering for a high-kill shelter. But, when Pancake was diagnosed with heart worm, no one at the shelter would claim her. The foster took care of Pancake’s first 30 days of antibiotics, but she could not afford the final treatment. And, that’s when we were called in. We were happy to take care of Pancake’s heart worm treatment; treatment will start soon. Without 4 Paws 1 Heart and Ashleigh, the amazing foster, Pancake would have been euthanized. Pancake may have a furever home after her treatments are complete. If you are interested, contact Asheigh at: [email protected]. As is usual, a huge thank you to our supporters who make our help possible. ~ diana

Ramona and Beezus- Dropped Off at Midnight on the Porch of a Known Rescuer

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana

8/27/19 – Meet Ramona and Beezus. They were dropped off at midnight at the rescuer’s home. Their eyes weren’t even open yet. We have since taken care of their vaccines, testing, and spay/neuter. But, shortly after her spay, Ramona was acting listless. We had her immediately seen by one of our partner vets and it was determined that Ramona had an infection resulting from her surgery. Everyone is doing great now. Ramona is the torti and Beezus is the striped cutie. ~ diana

Lucky – Found on the Streets; No Owner Could Be Found

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana

8/26/19 – Lucky (the Husky) was found on the streets without any tags or identification. For several weeks, the rescuers attempted to find Lucky’s owner. When no owner could be found, they contacted us for help with getting Lucky vaccinated, tested, and neutered. Thankfully, Lucky tested negative for heart worm and he is scheduled for his neuter. He has become fast friends with the rescuers’ other dog and has taken over the hearts of the family. ~ diana

Clara, Blondie, Hershey, Fera – Found on the Street Needing the Help of 4p1h

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Diana

8/25/19 – A huge thank you for all of the love, votes, and donations. I sincerely can’t express how humbled I am, personally, by the support you’ve given us over the past 9 years. The number of animals we’ve been able to save has been more than we ever expected when we began this journey. And, what is not counted in the 6,000 animals who have been seen by our partner veterinarians, are the many animals who will never be born only to die on the streets because every animal we help is neutered or spayed. Here are a few more of the kitties (Clara, Blondie, Hershey, Fera) we’ve helped along the way. ~ diana

Gabriel – Returning to the Vet; Has His Eye Removed

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/23/19 – Update: Gabriel had his eye removal surgery and is doing great.

8/22/19 – Please say a little prayer for Gabriel who I posted just a couple of days ago. He was to seen the doctor again tomorrow but today blood started gushing from his eye. He’s at the vet now and the doctor will try to fit him in for surgery today. If not today, he will be stabilized and have surgery tomorrow.

If you follow us regularly, you will know that we have had many serious cases this past Spring and Summer — everything from amputations to heart worm to eye removals. Our funds are going out faster than they are coming in. So, please if you can, take the opportunity to donate this week and have your donation doubled through the $1,000 match.

Only with your help can we make a difference for the animals and the people who save them. Thank You, diana

Fatboi – Anniversary Updates

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/21/19 – During this Anniversary Week, some of our friends have been sharing stories about the abandoned, stray, and abused who we’ve helped in the past. We are thankful for the stories they are sharing because they tell us how we not only changed the animal’s life but how we changed their lives. I remember Fatboi so well it was 2015 when we were called on to help with his many medical issues. I was heartbroken when we had to say goodbye but thankful for the love he gave his rescuer and the love she gave him. Here is what Lauren wrote:

“You guys ROCK! I LOVE 4 Paws 1 Heart. My Fatboi would not be saved without you all. From a “FREE DOG” that was on Craigslist that lived only outside, I went and got him because I was scared for him. We know what happens to “free dogs” especially when they look like this. He was sick and I did not know what to do. Finally, I found 4 Paws 1 Heart and Miss Diana got him right to a vet, even got us a RIDE because I didn’t have a car. He already had arthritis at 3 from being kept outside in a concrete pen, plus double ear infections, a kidney infection, and an unhappy belly. With the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart Fatboi got back to his healthy self and honestly was the best FRIEND I have ever had. A piece of my soul went with him when he crossed the Rainbow Bridge 2018. Thank you to 4 Paws 1 Heart for saving his life, because in turn, he saved mine❤”

Remember that your donation can be doubled this week.
