Lacy – In a Shelter for Over One Year – Looking for a Forever Home
9/17/16 – 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to help our friends at Almost Home with a couple of recent serious cases. I chose to share this post of Lacy because my heart breaks thinking of her in a shelter for one year watching her friends come and go while she continues to wait for that perfect forever family. Please share and help Lacy find her home. ~ diana
Shadow, Mocha, and Latte – While Pregnant, Thrown Out of a Moving Car –
916/16 – Last month I received a call for help from a woman in the Jackson, MI area. She had been driving her car on a major highway and saw, what looked to be a kitten, thrown out of the car’s window. She immediately pulled over and was able to get the cat who did not seem to be much older than a kitten. The cat had an indentation around the neck where a collar had obviously been. The cat had obviously been a pet at one time because she immediately began to snuggle and purr. Five weeks later, this beautiful cat, now named Shadow (because she is grey and follows the rescuer every where she goes), had 3 kittens. Unfortunately, one kitten died because Shadow’s milk had dried up before the rescuers realized it. The rescuers then immediately started to bottle feed the rest. As you can see, the kittens (Latte and Mocha) are now doing great. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to pay for Shadow’s and the kittens’ spay/neuter, vaccinations, and testing. They are now ready to be adopted. Anyone interested in adopting these beauties should contact Jean at: [email protected] Remember that everyone is in the Jackson, MI area.
Baby and Saint – Flea and Tick Infested; Baby Suffering with a Broken Leg
9/15/16 – Meet Baby and Saint. They were found flea and tick infested and Baby had something wrong with her leg. 4 Paws 1 Heart made arrangements for them to be seen the same day and it was determined that Baby’s leg was broken. Both kittens were treated, vaccinated, and tested and Baby’s leg was set. She goes in for her follow up visit in a couple of weeks.
Please continue to pray for all of these poor animals who have been dumped or allowed to be born on the streets. Can you imagine the number who would have died had it not been for the caring people who don’t turn their backs, the generous people who donate hard earned dollars, and 4 Paws 1 Heart. ~ diana
Prince – Injured in a Fight with Fellow Rescues
9/14/16 – When our friend, Megan, from Friends of Scooby Rescue, contacted us about this little guy, we knew we had to help. Here is his story and also let this be a lesson to all of our friends. You can never be too careful when children and animals are involved. ~ diana
“Prince is a senior Shih Tzu who has been passed around his whole life. He is currently in a long term foster home due to his age and medical needs (arthritis and blind). The other night everything was going on as usual; Dogs were being rotated; food and meds were being given; and kids were running in and out the doors. As careful as we try to be, sometimes accidents happen. One of the kids let Prince into an area of the house where he shouldn’t have been at the time and he was attacked by another foster dog. Because adults were in the area, the fight was broken up rather quickly. Prince was still injured but only required to be cleaned up, antibiotics, pain meds and a rabies booster. He had 2 puncture wounds on his throat and a superficial scratch on the top of his neck. Thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart he is resting comfortably at home. Thanks again”
Lily, Buster, Freckles, Sampson, and Sasha – Rescued with Another Sibling Who Passed Away
9/13/16 – We were contacted by a rescue friend about 6 kittens who needed our help. Unfortunately, one of their siblings had to be taken to an emergency hospital where she had to be humanely euthanized. All of them were horribly flea infested and obviously neglected. The positive news is that the rest of the family is doing well and are on their way to get their vaccinations, deworming, and spaying/neutering. This is Lily, Buster (talking), Freckles, Sampson, and Sasha (Tabby). All will be available for adoption through our friends at A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue. ~ diana
Louie – Rescued from a High-Kill Shelter
9/12/16 – Louie was rescued by Heavenly Paws of MI from an overcrowded, high-kill shelter. He had a broken leg, which appeared to have been set; however, Wilson’s medical testing disclosed that the leg was not set properly. He was also suffering from a life threatening infection in his leg. These conditions required that he endure a leg amputation to save his life. As was hoped, Louie recovered well from his surgery, and is now living a very happy and healthy life. 4 Paws 1 Heart was very happy to be able to assist our friends at Heavenly Paws with Louie’s medical needs. ~ diana
RIP Sweet Brownie
9/11/16 – RIP Baby Brownie – It was just a week ago that sweet Mocha Latte had two babies. Mocha’s rescuer was with her the entire time; everyone seemed to be fine. Unfortunately, this weekend, Brownie (the calico baby) stopped eating and was not as vocal as usual. Brandy, the rescuer (mom and grandma), contacted us but before we could make arrangements, a friend who is a veterinarian took over the baby’s care. This morning I learned that Brownie passed away. Our hearts are heavy for Brandy and her family as well as for Mocha and her other baby. ~ diana
Cookie Finds the Best Family Ever
I am delighted to report that Cookie found her forever home with a very lovely couple. They have tons of time to spoil her, a 2-acre property on the lake, and a condo in Florida where she will travel with them. Cookie was dumped in a school parking lot several months ago. She had back and neck trauma and she was emaciated. I’ve fostered her since and she is a ball of love. In 3 weeks her new mom and dad will make it official. Prayers do work! Gina
