3/14/22 – She fell off of a roof and it appeared she may have broken her back. Our Board member, Denise (and mom to Team Chance) called me as soon as she got the cry out for help. I immediately contacted our friends at Advanced Animal Emergency, and because of the shortages of emergency hospitals and vets open on Sunday, those of us who deal with emergencies know it can take hours to get in. The rescuer was able to get her to the hospital where she was seen by the doctor who determined that Sweetheart’s organs were already shutting down. We will never know but maybe it was the shutting down of her organs which resulted in her falling off of the roof. Because her condition was very severe, the doctor recommended humane euthanasia and we all agreed. May she rest in peace. – diana.

P.S. These photos are of Sweetheart when she was rescued and before being transported to the hospital.

Please remember Gina, our co-founder, and her Angel today and say a prayer. Angel was rescued by Gina shortly before we started 4 paws 1 Heart. She was brought to the emergency that Gina worked at, dying from parvo. Gina took her home and 12 years later the rest is history. We’ve shared many photos of Angel over the years cleaning little puppies and kittens, keeping them warm and safe. And, many times Angel was called in to give blood for animals needing a transfusion. Angel was by Gina’s side when she married the love of her life (next to Angel, of course). We wish they could live forever. Many tears are being shed today for an amazing human and an amazing dog. xox – diana.

3/19/22 – On March 11, Ellie, very pregnant, was rescued from the streets and taken in by a kind woman whom we’ve assisted in the past and who is very successful in finding furever homes. We authorized Ellie to be examined and treated for any issues appropriate for a pregnant mom. Well, on March 16, Ellie had 5 babies. You can see where mama is taking good care of her children and we will continue to help the family as they grow and until everyone is adopted. – diana

3/16/22 – Sam had been showing up for a couple of years and just recently the kind homeowner (who also volunteers for one of our favorite rescues – Misfit Angels) noticed eye discharge, coughing and sneezing. We authorized Sam to be treated for an upper respiratory infection as well as everything else needed to make him ready for adoption which includes neuter, vaccinations, a snap test, and flea and parasite treatment. Best wishes for this sweet boy. – diana.

3/14/22 – Rescued from the home previously discussed. Zoe, Ziggy, Zippy, Linus, Lilly. We will be getting photos of Charlotte, Zelda, and Coal a little later as well as any updates. Many prayers for the person who had these beautiful animals and made sure they were all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested until it all became too much. – diana.4paws1heart.org/donations/

3/15/22 – No Judgement Please. The cats you will see in the next post were taken from this home. A very difficult and dangerous situation for which most of us can’t understand. But, the reality is that life can get away from us and although our hearts are big, our mental/physical abilities may be limited. I just want to say that I’m grateful every day for the amazing people who will step up to not only help the human involved but the many animals they thought they were helping. 10 cats and 1 dog were rescued in this situation and 4 paws 1 heart will be there for whatever is needed. So far, 8 cats have been brought to fosters and it is important to note that all but one had been spayed/neutered and vaccinated at one time. For the most part they just needed vaccine boosters, exams, and treatment for some skin issues. If anything unexpected is needed, we will be there. – diana.4paws1heart.org/donations/

3/14/22 – Great News!! Julius was just a little stray kitten when he was found on the streets. We were contacted by a 4p1h friend, Heather B. from Up In Arms Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation, and we were happy to get him ready for adoption. As you can see, he is now in a beautiful home with a new fur buddy. YOUR DONATIONS make a DIFFERENCE. – diana4paws1heart/org/donations/

3/14/22 – Helen was found on the streets and diagnosed with feline herpes. The doctor also recommended an eye removal but the finder could not afford the medical even though she was willing to keep Helen and give her a furever home. We were contacted and we authorized the eye removal, spay, vaccines, and testing. We so very much appreciate our friends at Comfort’s Place in Redford. They are always there for us and the animals we help. Please check them out. – diana.4paws1heart.org/donations
