4/12/15 – The Macomb Daily did the best job on reporting the protest of the Humane Society of Macomb by concerned animal advocates. It is good to see that the reporter actually researched the reports and accurately reported the kill rate at this house of horrors. http://www.macombdaily.com/…/dozens-protest-euthanasia-rate…

Community Involvement – High Kill Shelters Need to be Shut Down or Be Creative to Save
4/11/15 – 
Very proud of the 4 Paws 1 Heart Board members and the 4 Paws 1 Heart Support Group Joanne Marie Hoopes, Debra Berolatti, Denise Najera, Patricia DiMaggio Siergiej, who came out to protest the deathly practices of the Humane Society of Macomb. Shirley, owner/director, can justify all she wants, she can clean up the place for the media, and she can claim that her “kill rate” includes owner requests for euthanasia. But their own facts speak for themselves — 1,363 cats were taken into the shelter in 2013 and 998 were euthanized at the director’s choice (70% kill rate) and 497 were allegedly at owner’s request. Let’s keep up the fight. This kitty is one of of small percentage who made it out alive and was adopted. He couldn’t stop eating for three days, according to his owner. ~ diana

4/10/15 – So here is the situation — You saw the three kittens Gina took in last night. Thankfully, our friend, Amanda, of Advanced Animal Emergency, agreed to take them in and bottle feed them. This morning I received a call from another 4p1h friend — landscapers were at a home and found two 1-week old kittens while they were working on private property. The landscapers advised the homeowner, and the homeowner told the landscaper to THROW THEM IN THE TRASH. Can you believe this??? Unfortunately, yes I can. Although many puppies and dogs are abused, I firmly believe that more people believe cats and kittens are ‘throw aways”. I have to admit that I would love to see these people, who were so uncaring of life, rot in hell and maybe, some day, their actions will catch up to them. A huge thank you to the landscaping employees who did care and brought them into the hospital so that Amanda Morris could add them to the ‘group’. If I find out the name of the Company, I will let everyone know so that if you are looking for a landscaping company, you can check them out. Thank You, Amanda, for taking them in! Here is Amanda’s posting. ~ diana
“And just like that, three became five. Ttis the season. First three are all eating well this morning…. Let’s see what we can do about the next two. Soooo much tabby love! ~ Amanda”

Lucy – Kicked So Hard by an Abuser, She Had to Have Her Leg Amputated
4/6/15 – You might remember that sweet Lucy was so viciously kicked by a neighbor of the rescuer that she eventually had to have her leg amputated. Thankfully, her savior, Alyssa, religiously brought Lucy to the hospital (some 60 miles away) under Gina’s and 4 Paws 1 Heart’s care, to initially be examined, for the many follow up visits, and then finally for the amputation. Alyssa also tried to get the police to respond to animal cruelty charges but they didn’t care. Here they are some 7 months later. They are both dolls! Here is a message from Mom Alyssa. ~ diana
“THANK YOU 4 paws 1 heart for the best pet I could ever ask for! She is my princess.”
