Happy 2015 From 4 Paws 1 Heart

Posted on by

sonic:dino20141/1/15 – Gina, our Board, and I want to wish everyone a 2015 filled with much love, laughter, good health, and loving pampered pets. It has been such a phenomenal year — nearly $85,000 spent on medical bills. I just cannot believe the number of wonderfully loving people who continue to support us and the animals who rely on us humans to survive. This is one of those few moments where words escape me but to all of those who have made the difference by donating money, food, linens, or offering up your homes to foster or adopt, or by responding to calls in the middle of the night to rescue. and to the many veterinarians and veterinary technicians who give up their hearts for very little money, we just say Thank You for joining us on this journey. May God Bless and Watch Over All Of You. ~ diana

Helping Our Rescue Friends Find Permanent Homes for the Homeless – Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart

Posted on by
Dear Friends, As we approach the new year, we have started two new facebook pages. On the “Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart” page we will highlight those adoptable animals rescued by individual rescuers who we’ve helped in funding medical treatment and who have no other outlet to promote the animals they rescue. Although we are not a ‘rescue organization’, we are committed to helping all abandoned, stray, and abused animals find that forever, loving home.

Our second new facebook page is “4 Paws 1 Heart Fundraising”. On this page you will find all fundraising events as well as ongoing ways you can help support our efforts. We hope these pages will make looking up adoptable animals and other ways to help 4 Paws 1 heart much easier. You can also view the adoptables animals rescued by our friends on our Petfinder site. ~ diana

Snickers – Your Financial Support Makes the Difference

Posted on by
As we come to the end of 2014, please consider making a donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Not only is your donation tax deductible but it will enable us to continue our important mission which is to “Reduce the Number of Homeless Animals by Funding Medical Treatment for Abandoned, Abused, and Stray Companion Animals. Without the financial support of our friends, we could never have saved Snickers or the over 1,500 other animals we have helped in some way. Although the final numbers have not been tallied, in just this year alone, 4p1h has paid nearly $85,000 in medical bills. We pray the need would stop but as long as these animals need us, we pray that our supporters will continue to be there for us.

The story of Snickers could not have happened without a village of people. From young Joey who heard his cries as the six-week old kitten lay in an icy puddle in an alley in Hamtramck, MI, to his mom who put out a call for help on Craig’s list, to our friend, Joanne Marie Hoopes, who picked him up and brought him to Gina, to the great doctor at the Veterinary Vision of Rochester who treated our boy and saved his eyes, to our great friends Dee and Rick who adopted him. ~ diana

Kittens Helped By 4 Paws 1 Heart Need a Forever Home

Posted on by
12/30/14 – These boys were all rescued from under Bill’s pool deck in St. Clair Shores, MI. He brought them all in and has kept them safely sheltered and fed until he felt they were old enough to be neutered. Of course, we agreed to pay for neutering, vaccinating and testing and they are now 6 months old and looking for their forever homes. Bill says they are very sweet and would make wonderful additions to a loving household. Please contact Bill at [email protected] if you are interested. ~ diana

Blitzen is Ready to Leave the Hospital

Posted on by

Blitzen, a female kitten, was found injured and limping almost 3 weeks ago, wandering in a parking lot when we were contacted for help. The photos of her paw injury were to graphic to post, but she is doing better every day. She only weighs 3 pounds, and her paw was swollen and badly infected. Our doctor felt it was best to wait and see how her paw healed over time. Her bandages are now off and even though she is still hospitalized, she is ready to spend the rest of her recovery time in a home.  If you are interested in giving this sweet baby a home, or even just foster her, please contact Gina at [email protected].  4 Paws 1 Heart will continue to pay for her paw until it is healthy.  We estimate her to be about 3 months old.blitzen12:29:14

Bottle Babies – Noel, Kringle, Jingle and Little Rudolph

Posted on by

12/25/14 – These sweet days-old babies, Noel, Kringle, Jingle, and poor little Rudolph are in the nursery trying to get warm enough to eat. Rudolph is struggling already, although he is a fighter. These babies, needing to be bottle fed, were taken in by our good friend, Amanda Morris, from Advanced Animal Emergency, Clinton Township, MI. We will be looking for forever homes when these babies are old enough. In the mean time, please say some Christmas prayers, especially for little Rudolph. This is a very critical stage for baby kittens.1470129_876659799032986_4957647281583402557_n-1 10882289_876659619033004_2389837329969633897_n 1924372_876659935699639_3184188162428694117_n
