Garrick’s Rescue and Recovery

Posted on by

4/29/25 Garrick needs our help. He was found outside in rough shape, pawing at the side of his face and drooling excessively.

Santa Zhugra secured him and contacted us for help. Moore Veterinary Hospital was able to get him in yesterday morning and his care was way more involved than expected. It was quickly noticed that his mouth was awfully painful, swollen, teeth rotten, gums bleeding, and horrid odor. He was dirty, weak, and very dehydrated. His jaw wouldn’t close properly maybe from so much swelling and inflammation. He needed full mouth x-rays, 9 extractions, ears cleaned, flea treatment, x-ray for an abdominal wound with internal scarring, bloodwork, a leukemia FIV test, and everything took about 2 hours under anesthesia.
A fecal was sent out, injections were given, and he is hospitalized on IV fluids, pain meds, warmies, and antibiotics.

I went to check on him last night before bed and he had lapped up his slurry of wet food. I was so happy!!!!! To be honest. He has a long road ahead, but if he can eat that’s what matters right now!

He will be going to a foster today or tomorrow and looking for a forever home. No more living on the streets. Here are some pics from his procedure yesterday.

If you can help with his care please donate. Thank you ♡

Kevin’s Second Chance

Posted on by

4/28/25 Abigail reached out to us right after she had trapped a neighborhood cat that appeared injured. He was coming around her condo for about 9 months and when he was noticeably hurt, Abigail secured him and took him to emergency. We offered to help by getting him neutered and checked out at Orion Animal Hospital. Abigail just sent me an update with pics letting me know that Kevin is integrating slowly while enjoying his new snuggle nap time spots and putting his head in her hands demanding pets. Kevin is one more kitty fortunate to have a second chance and live in a forever loving home. I love his pink nose and his toe beans!!! New beginnings Kevin!

Oscar the Stray with a Bullet

Posted on by

4/25/25. Oscar is a stray who was seen having trouble walking. His rescuer contacted us for assistance with getting an exam and x ray. As you can see this boy has a bullet inside him. The doctors believe this could be causing nerve damage that has resulted in trouble walking. His rescuer took home pain meds and antibiotics with the hopes that Oscar might have some quality of life. Thank God for people like her who don’t turn a blind eye to these strays and do what they can to help. This is the second bullet seen in an animal that we helped in just 2 weeks. There are some cruel people in this world. It’s very sad..

Hunting Beagle Given a Second Chance

Posted on by

4/23/25 Her first toy, first bath, first time in a house, first time watching tv, rolling in the grass and having chew toys. Lady and her sibling lived their entire life in a cage outside because they were used for rabbit hunting. Lady was fortunate to have a 2nd chance, and we are happy to help with her new beginning that she desperately deserves. She has an appointment on May 1st, 2025, for her surgery. Here is the email I received and if you would like to donate towards Lady here is the link. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Hi Gina, my names Nicole and I’m reaching out to you about a Beagle I rescued last week. My brother called me and told me about a friend at work that was moving and had outdoor rabbit hunting beagles he needed to find a home for or they’d have to go to the pound. He ended up putting one to sleep because she had huge mammary tumors. I took the other one. She is 11 years old, has never been in the house. I’ve had her since last Tuesday. She’s absolutely the sweetest thing and is so grateful to be inside. Wednesday I took her in for a heartworm test and it was negative (thank God) and she got a steroid for a skin infection. She also has several mammary tumors but they’re smaller. The vet at all about animals that seen her said there’s a 50/50 chance if they’re cancerous or not. She is not spayed. I’m having a hard time finding somewhere to spay her that isn’t $600+ because of her age, and I absolutely cannot afford that unfortunately. I’m also worried about pyometra because with her age, if she got it I’d probably end up having to put her to sleep. I’m just trying to give her the best life possible for however long she might have left. Thank you so much for your time and all that you do to help all the babies that you can! I’ve attached some pics of her and a video of her seeing a TV for the first time ever, which is funny and so sad at the same time.

Meet Pascha

Posted on by

4/20/25 Meet Pascha which means Easter in Latin. This little baby not even weighing 1 pound was the only survivor of 6 kittens and in need of urgent bottle feeding. The mom cat disappeared a couple days ago which was very unusual according to the homeowner, so it’s possible she was injured. All we know is Pascha cried for over 24 hours until a good friend and supporter of 4 paws 1 heart stepped up and offered to go get her yesterday. She is taking the bottle well but having some diarrhea. 4 paws 1 heart will be there for any medical if and when needed. Thank you Melissa Jackson for not even hesitating to save this baby kitten! Happy Easter from all of us at 4 Paws 1 Heart! https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Kindle and Thanos Surrendered to Make A Difference Rescue

Posted on by

4/17/25 – It was in mid-February when Kindle, a 13 year old basenji and Thanos, a 10 year old lab were surrendered to Make a Difference Rescue. They were in horrible shape. Kindle was having surgery that day to have a mass cell tumor removed and to have infected teeth pulled. He was very underweight. 4 Paws 1 Heart was thankful to be able to help with the majority of the bill. These senior dogs will be well taken care of and find furever, loving homes. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Seal the Immaciated Puppy

Posted on by

4/16/25 Here are some pics of the emaciated pup that I posted in the video earlier this morning. Seal is thriving, yet he has a LONG way to go with treatment for Heartworm Disease, standard vetting, and other medical issues his doctors at Moore Veterinary Hospital are trying to figure out. His joints are swollen, he has a bullet lodged in his chest, he has skin issues, and he may have diabetes insipidus.

Sweet happy Seal obviously went a VERY long time neglected and now here we are trying to pick up the pieces. His foster mamma Trisha Petersen loves him and she is giving him the BEST chance possible.

Please donate if you can and your donation will go to “Seal”. I’ll post a video of his adorable Seal sounding song bark. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
