PARVO TAKES THE LIFE OF ANOTHER SWEET BABY – AMERICA

Posted on by

On 7/24/15 -We posted a ‘happy update on the 4 Paws 1 Heart facebook page never expecting what would happen 48 hours later. ~ diana

“All of you will remember America. She was found in the middle of the road by a good Samaritan who brought her in to us. She was emaciated and suffering from a severe skin condition which would require a minimum of 30 days of treatment. Our friends at The Devoted Barn agreed to take her into their wonderful program while we took care of her medical needs. Look at this sweetheart today. If you’re interested, check out The Devoted Barn’s Facebook page.”

Thank you once again 4 Paws 1 Heart for sending medical dollars to our little blue doberman that had parvo. He came home from the vet today and is in need of a new name for his new life.

From a Home of Neglect and Abuse – Luna (now known as Lilac)

Posted on by
7/19/14 – If you don’t remember Luna check out our website – 4paws1heart.org and search “Luna”. In short she was being given (sold) away by her owners because they “just had a baby”. One caring person saw the ad and contacted us; we posted the story; and, two wonderful people rescued her from a home of serious neglect. Look at her (now Lilac) happy face today as she sits with her new mom and sibling. Thanks, Karrie Marie, for sharing with us. We had a great 5K which I’m still trying to recover from and will report on soon and don’t forget that we have the July 29 Captain Jack’s shindig coming up July 29. Give our Lilac a big hug from the 4p1h family. ~ diana
“Hope you had a great turn out for the 5k… We, Lilac (formally Luna) and I are bummed we couldn’t make it down to participate however when you break mom’s foot, there’s not much you can do.” ~ Karrie Marie

Working Together to Make A Difference. – Noel, The Prince of Cuteness

Posted on by
7/17/14 – The Prince of Cuteness, Noel – On December 23, 2013 this little guy was taken to a local pet store after being found freezing cold and motionless outside a Good Samaritan’s front yard. The wonderful folks at the pet store called Tigerlily to help. They were not sure what was going on physically but he did have puncture wounds on his neck/back area, and a likely neck injury. He wasn’t able to stand, but did eat and drink some on his own. He was initially treated for shock and was stabelized until he could get a consultation with a neurologist. Over the past 7 months, Noel has continued to improve although he still has neurological issues. He has actually been able to climb his cat tree. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to be able to help a little with the extensive medical bills. We also thank Kim, Tigerlily President and its board, for believing in this little guy and helping him in his fight for life. Continue to follow his story on Tigerlily’s fb page. ~ diana
