In the meantime, this is beautiful Nova. Unbelievably, she was found chained at an abandoned house. Nova was taken to a vet and tested positive for heart worm. Shortly after being rescued her rescuer realized she was also pregnant!. Nova has an appointment with one of our favorite doctors at Orion Animal Hospital this Monday. The concern is Nova’s health in giving birth and determining the severity of her heart worm and learning when she should start being treated. We are praying that we are successful in the contests and that we can replenish our funds so that we can continue to respond to the needs of the many abandoned and abused animals in our communities. – Diana.

Happy Thanksgiving! I’ll always be grateful for your help in saving Maggie’s life. She is doing so well in her forever home, growing and thriving. She is so very loved – Kellie
11/22/22 – Please continue your prayers for Chance. It seems like only yesterday when the village came together to save this very sweet boy. He was at the Genesee County Shelter. After being neutered, he became paralyzed and then he was out on the schedule to be euthanized. But before that happened a volunteer called out for help and a very kind woman who we had assisted before with rescues contacted us to see us we could help if she took him in. That person was Denise Najera, now the ‘famous’ Foster mom of our boy Chance. Over the years 4 Paws 1 Heart has been committed to Chance’s medical needs. His journey can be followed on our website. And after many years, he again needs our significant help and prayers. Your support makes such a difference in the lives of so many. Thank you!

Somebody is sure pooped out!
Hi Team, mom here. I’m sorry about the long wait for the update. Its been a long, hectic day and I was also waiting this evening for the emailed summery of todays visit as its hard to remember everything. So here’s what we know so far….
Today Chance had a full body scan and a urinary ultrasound. His kidneys have mild mineralization, but no obstructive stones or masses. His bladder walls were of normal thickness, but some debris was noted in his urine which may be protein, fat deposits or inflammatory cells. There was also a concern for onset of Diabetes due to his huge increase in thirst, and his glucose level was elevated since last ck. A sample was collected and will be sent off for full culture and urinalysis. The results wont be till next week and that will tell us more.
Particular point of concern a new finding of a lack of proprioception (lack of awareness of where his feet are in space) and his “quick” spinal reflexes. There is also some calcification of his discs.
Dr. Okonkowski has sent Chances scans out for a full radiologist interpretation and evaluation of his abdominal organs including urinary system, chest, limbs, spine and associated bony structures.
Her initial feel is he is having neurological setbacks associated with his original paralysis which is causing all his current urinary and hind weakness issues. We wont know anymore until the tests today come back next week and then we will know next steps. Please continue to keep our SuperHero in your prayers. As soon as I know anything more I will let you know Team. Meanwhile we got some snuggling to do.
Please, please don’t forget to vote for 4 Paws 1 Heart…we are still in the lead and we have to get into the next round to have a chance at winning=lots of more animals helped!!!!
Thank you 4 Paws 1 Hear.t All the special needs furry kids who have come through our doors would never have gotten their Second Chance if not for you and all the wonderful supporters. We have a lot to be thankful for
Time to vote, promote, share. We are close to the finish line! – Denise

Also, Chance’s rescuer reported that Chance got a clean bill of health last week when he was tested for heart worm and vaccinated. Yesterday he was neutered. Another orphan is off of the streets and will have his forever, loving home. – diana

11/21/22 – Chance was found on the streets of a Michigan community. There was an imprint around his neck where a collar probably existed. Unfortunately, the municipal shelter couldn’t take him in because they were full and after using every resource she could lfind to locate his owner, she contacted a number of rescue groups. Like the shelter, all of the rescues were full. We were then contacted for help. Tessa said she would take him in before she would allow this very sweet boy to be euthanized and we offered to pay for any medical treatment needed. One of our partner veterinary clinics was able to get him in today and as soon as I hear from Tessa, I will report the results of his visit. – diana.

11/21/22 – As of this morning, 4 Paws 1 Heart continues to be in the lead for the Detroit News Cheer for Charity. We have five more days of voting so please, please keep it going. Since August, 2010 we have helped over 10,000 stray, abandoned and abused animals by funding $1.7 million in medical treatment. And, in almost every case, those animals went from horrible lives on the streets to loving, warm homes. If we get into the top 5, it will be all hands on deck, again. The charity with the most $ donated will win $20,000!! What a difference that could make, especially this time of the year. Remember to vote, promote, and share every day. THANK YOU!!
