Hi everybody, it’s me Bridgette! Mom’s Birthday Fundraiser is off to a great start and we’re so excited to try to beat last year’s total! I thought I would tell you my story so you can understand why 4 Paws 1 Heart is so dear to our hearts.

So it was 2015 mom got a call from a friend about a horrible hoarding situation. Moms friend thought I may be pregnant and could mom foster me and give me a safe place to have my babies. Of course mom said yes. Well, turns out I was just pleasingly plump .

But I did come with a host of other problems and was about 7yrs old then. Bad teeth, horrible earmites, extreme allergies and severe asthma. Mom thinks all were due to the horrible conditions I came from. I was lucky to get out alive (many of my friends did not )

There were many vet visits for all my ailments, especially my asthma. Lots of meds, lots of late nights and worry but 4 Paws 1 Heart was always, always there for me. I’m doing much better these days, my asthma is under control and although my allergies still pop up, it’s not near as bad becuse of all the good care I get at home and the great medical care I got early on when I was at my worst. Now, I’m part of Chances Gang (A Second Chance for Chance) and a treasured member of our family.

Mom says Im the sweetest, best door greeter, kitten wrangler and most precious little old lady she’s ever met! I love my life..please donate so others can live a long, happy, healthy life like me Thankyou for your generosity!
