7/18/16 – Dear Friends, We need you now!! This has been a very expensive year filled with many serious cases of parvo virus, heart worm, hit and runs, upper respiratory infections, and downright cruelty.

7/18/19 – Meet Johnny. Our friends at 313 K9 and Kitty Rescue rescued three puppies who all had parvo. Two of the three died. Fortunately, Johnny survived and is doing well. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to help our friends with the medical bills for Johnny. Continue to say a little prayer for his…
7/17/16 – Happy Update: You might remember Reggie. He was rescued by a good Samaritan and brought to an emergency hospital. Poor Reggie had a prolapsed rectum resulting from diarrhea.

7/15/16 – I received a call from a person who works at one of the great veterinary clinics we work with. The person was interested in adopting a blind kitten/cat. She explained that she had always tried to save the special needs kitties and her 15 year old cat who was born without eyes, now…
Cookie patiently waits by the phone for her new forever family to make that call. If you know someone that could give this loving sweet girl a forever home to call her own please email me. She is about 6 years old and would do best in a home with dogs her size or no…

7/11/16 – As is typical for this time of year, donations have been very slow. I know that our friends are busy with summer activities and most people don’t realize that summer months can be brutal for stray and abandoned animals. In just the past couple of weeks we have spent over $10,000 in cases…
7/10/16 – I received a call from one of the very small rescues we work with, Friends of Scooby. Of course we agreed to have this poor abused boy seen as soon as possible. Here is his rescuer’s message: “This little boy was found running the streets of Flint. Covered in so many fleas that…
7/9/16 – This is a great ‘beginning of the weekend’ story. A friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart, who we’ve helped with rescues in the past, contacted us about this small 6-7 month old kitten who approached her in a 7-11 parking lot. Fearing that the kitten would certainly be hit by a car, she…
