Rosie Roo – Remembering Her Life

Posted on by

6/18/19 – The sweetest dog I’ve ever met. Rosie, you will always be in our hearts. ~ diana

“CHANCE: Goood morning Team Chance, as promised we’re going to share with you pics & stories of our beloved Roo. The top left pic is the one mom saw on Facebookunder For the Love of Louie *Michigan Lost Pet Lookers* that her finder posted that she found this lost dog. That was on Oct 5th, 2016. The look on that poor babys face haunted mom all night, she kept going back to that post and looking at that little face. Mom saw later that night that animal control had picked her up. Mom started messaging animal Control about her status, and at the same time she sent the pic to Auntie Di at 4 Paws 1 Heart with a simple message “Please call me re: this dog”. Of course Auntie Di called mom 1st thing in the morning. AUNTIE DI: “What would you like to do?”
MOM: “Go get her & foster her”.
Auntie Di without hesitation said “if they will give her to you, get her.” And with that, arrangements were made with the wonderful Animal Control Officer Lisa Taylor, and Auntie Debra & Mom brought Roo home. That 1st night she slept on the floor next to moms bed..Her nails were so long and spiraled she could barely walk, her fur was sooo matted. Pew!!! Did she ever stink!!! It was terrible!!! And that was how she got her name…Rosie⚘, Mom wanted to name her as far opposite of what she smelled like then..what she would be not what she smelled like then. The next morning when mom took her to the groomers…a very sneaky & sweet Auntie Anne Sadowski had already been to the groomer & paid for Rosie Roos grooming ❤. The bottom pic is after Roo came home smelling sweet, all soft, clean & comfy sleeping that 1st sleep of knowing life was about to change for her!!! – Mom”rosie roo 6:18:19

Daegan – Kicked Out by His Owner – Needs a Rescue/Adopter.

Posted on by

6/18/19 – Daegan showed up in Nicole’s backyard and she actually found his owner. When she brought Daegan ‘home’, the owner threw him out of the house and said he didn’t want him. Daegan is only 6 months old and is very sweet. I received a call from one of our veterinary partners asking if we could cover his vaccines and health check, which, of course we did. Because Nicole already has dogs who are not thrilled with an ‘interloper’, she is in desperate need of finding a rescue or adopter for Daegan. He is scheduled for neutering, complements of 4p1h, next week. Anyone interested in this handsome boy, should contact Nicole at: [email protected]
Without you, we couldn’t do what we do. ~ diana

Samson – Bought from a Guy on the Street

Posted on by

6/14/19 – A good friend of 4p1h, who is always there to help an animal in need, came across a man trying sell a 4-week old puppy. He kept yelling at the puppy to “shut up” while the puppy laid on the early April, cold cement. Shelley could think of nothing other than to buy the puppy to save him from an unknown, potentially dangerous fate. Before she did that, though, she contacted us to see if we would cover the medical and of course we said yes. Samson was taken to the vet and he was given a wellness exam and dewormed; he was too young for any vaccines. After contacting some animal rescues, Rebel Dogs Detroit agreed to take in Samson where he will be well taken care of. It truly takes a village. – diana

Her initial treatment while being fostered was not successful and she had to begin the more aggressive heart worm treatment.

She is a beauty. ~ dianaRosey w:streetherts 6:3:19

Patches – Dumped in a Park and Rescued by the Police; She is Heart Worm Positive

Posted on by

6/10/19 – A woman who is on the ‘Animal 911 Contact List’ in Genesee County contacted us about a dog found in a park. The police contacted her about two dogs they felt were dumped in the park. Unfortunately, only Patches could be caught. Patches was taken to a vet to be spayed, vaccinated, and tested. Unfortunately, she was found positive for heart worm and we were contacted for help. Patches is only about 1 year old and we are thankful that we can help this beautiful, abused dog get a second chance at life. ~ diana

Bailey – Neglected and Abused and then Dumped

Posted on by

6/6//19 – Meet Bailey. He has a very sad story of neglect and inappropriate treatment for heart worm. Although he had been ‘rescued’ from the streets and put into a foster, those who had promised to care for him let him down and eventually ‘dumped’ him on another person who is an individual rescuer. His new rescuer contacted us because after many months, Bailey still has heart worm and we were asked to help. Bailey will start treatment this week. And, although we know that he has already suffered damage to his heart and will require more crate rest, we pray that Bailey will be able to live a happy dog life after the treatment is complete.
As an additional note, this is the second request for heart worm help in the past week, all while we continue to get requests for help with kittens needing to be spayed/neutered, and cats being found with severe eye conditions and upper respiratory infections. We can’t say ‘yes’ without the support of our friends and donations have been very slow. Please, if you can, consider making a donation today so that we can continue to help those who have no one else. Thanks, diana

Daisy – Kept in a Kennel 24/7

Posted on by

6/3/19 – Meet Daisy. She is just 1 and 1/2 years old. Her owner kept her in an outdoor kennel 24/7 and she was never socialized. She was never vaccinated or spayed. When she started showing some behavioral issues, the owner threatened to release her to let her either die or be tortured on the streets or to be ‘rescued’. Our 4p1h friend, Cortney, has taken in Daisy and she will be providing training and finding her a forever home. We were happy to cover Daisy’s medical treatment which includes vaccinations, heart worm test, and, most importantly, spaying. ~ diana

Oscar – Found on a Busy Highway With a Tow Chain Around His Neck

Posted on by

5/27/19 – I hope all of our supporters had a Memorial Day filled with family, friends, memories and love. Although we were busy in the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade, remembering those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice – both human and canine. Calls for help still come in. This is Oscar.

Oscar was standing at the side of a busy highway with a tow chain around his neck. Several times he was almost hit by a car before a kind man stepped up and rescued him . Oscar was very emaciated and lethargic and very frightened. Thankfully we were able to get him into one of our vets who took care of immediate needs and scheduled him to be neutered this week. Thankfully, he is heart worm negative. He is a very sweet and frightened soul who may be going to a permanent home this week. We couldn’t continue to help those in need without the support of our friends. ~ diana
