Mom and Babies Thrown Outside When Owners are Evicted
Chance – Paralyzed from a Traumatic Event
4/1/15 Chance will be seeing Dr. Tari Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets next week to determine if some other kind of treatment might be able to help this sweetheart walk again. Here’s a note from his foster mom, Dee. ~ diana
“My foster Chance ♡ Taken under the loving wing of 4 Paws 1 Heart while we try to figure out why his back legs became paralyzed a few days after being neutered while in a high kill shelter. Please continue to donate to 4 Paws 1 Heart so sweet babies like this boy can continue to get the CHANCE they so deserve! All lives matter. ~ Mama Dee”
Rescued from a Hoarder’s Home
4/1/15 – Meet the last of the moms and their kittens taken in by Futures 4 Felines after they were rescued by A Hopeful Heart and medically treated with funds from 4 Paws 1 Heart. They were in the hoarder home in Warren, MI and were some of the most critically ill removed from the house. They have all been named after the cast of Laverne and Shirley (old tv sitcom for all of you younger friends). These babies are still having upper respiratory issues but they are with a great rescue who is closely watching their health. 4 Paws 1 Heart has offered to assist with future needs if dollars are available. ~ diana
Humane Society of Macomb – High Kill Rate
3/26/15 – Please visit this facebook page, especially if you live in Macomb County or the nearby counties where your lost animal might cross over.www.facebook.com/pages/Macomb-Humane-Society-Inhumane-and-Cruel/538497886293495?fref=ts People who donate to the Humane Society of Macomb should know how their donations are spent and this ‘shelter’ seems to spend their donated dollars on killing. If you check out the Michigan Department of Agriculture Animal Shelter Report for 2013 you will see that they reported receiving 1,363 cats and killing 1,495 (over 100% kill rate ???); 686 dogs received and 441 killed (65% kill rate). Compare that to a the City of Detroit Animal Shelter which is a government run entity with NO donations — 71% kill rate for cats and a 75% kill rate for dogs AND this is in the City of Detroit where they can’t refuse entry and where there is a overwhelming number of stray animals. Now, also compare all of those numbers to the Macomb Animal Control Shelter — 44% for cats and 36% for dogs and their numbers continue to go down based on policy changes under the current Chief. There are way too many good rescue groups who are truly saving animals who can use your hard-earned money (including 4p1h of course). It’s bad enough that our tax dollars are used to kill animals but to use donated money to kill at such rates in a county like Macomb is unacceptable. As soon as I get a copy of their tax filing, I will share it with all of you. ~ diana
