1/4/24 – On December 21, 2023 we posted about Pretty Girl and Tom Tom. They were found at an abandoned house and a kind man was trying to help with food and shelter. Tom Tom was severely matted and both had upper respiratory infections. After being treated for their infections, yesterday, they were tested, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered at Orion Animal Hospital. The matts were also shaved (as you can see by the updated photos. Unfortunately, their medical is not done. Both will need dental work and that has now been approved.
Hopefully, these babies will prove to be adoptable when all is done. Thank you to our many supporters for helping us make a difference. – diana
1/4/24 – RIP Daisy. The following is from our Board Member, Denise:
Thank you so much for helping with Daisy’s cremation. Brandon said that Orion Animal Hospital was amazing–even giving them a keepsake with her fur in it.
Daisy (named by her rescuers) was found on Wednesday evening covered in snow & ice, near frozen, under a box truck. He was rescued by Brandon & Kaytee Dwyer. They contacted me Wednesday night and I gave instructions on how to warm and administer fluids and food. After speaking with Diana and Brandon a second time it was decided Daisy was perking up a bit and was even taking food. I was to call Orion Animal Hospital in the morning for an appointment but despite doing better Daisy didn’t make it until her appointment.
Daisy was extremely tiny, skin and bones. Missing all but one tooth and was eartipped. We will never know if she was truly friendly or feral but what we do know is that she was warm, safe and knew love in her final hours instead of dying all alone on the street frozen. Thank you Brandon, Kaytee and 4 Paws 1 Heart for loving Daisy.
Our hearts break when we can’t save them all. Prayers for the many animals on our streets, especially with the oncoming winter temperatures. And, may God bless those who never turn their backs on an animal in need.- diana
1/3/24 – Pulled from a cold garage in mid October, 2023. Pepper was said to have had 3 litters in her short life. The babies appeared to be underweight and still nursing when they were rescued. We were happy to help everyone eventually get spayed, vaccinated as well as Pepper tested. Hopefully, Pepper was able to be socialized so that she could be adopted into a home; the rescuer was to find homes for the sweet babies. – diana
1/3/24 – Gracy, just a kitten, was left behind by their owners and rescued by Larry B. Larry asked for our assistance in getting her tested, vaccinated, and spayed. This was in late September. The appointment was delayed a bit for Gracy but she finally was seen at one of our partner veterinary clinics. She was vaccinated and spayed but was found positive for FeLV. Although, Larry had kept her separated from his cat, Rocky, he was concerned that Rocky may have contracted the disease. We offered to cover that testing also. Thankfully, Rocky was found negative for FIV and FeLV and was vaccinated. Larry will continue to give Gracy a home with love and care. – diana
