Teddy – One of 35 Dogs Being Used for Testing Who Was Scheduled to be Euthanized

This is my personal hair and nail salon. I only use Paul Mitchell products. And, I’m so thankful for the love that my friend Dave Rubello and his wife, Gretchen, have for abused animals. I met Teddy last week and my heart broke thinking what he and so many animals used for product testing go through. The little guy doesn’t bark or anything but you can tell how appreciative he is for being saved. This may be inappropriate but I feel product testing should be done on murderers on death row where there is no doubt about their conviction.

“Paul Mitchell Products has pet friendly dog free testing policies..Teddy pictured with me, was experimented on with chemicals over the past years, with over 30 other of his beagle friends and was due to be destroyed in July by Dow is living proof that they were about to make the wrong decision in killing them. Teddy appreciates you not using domestic pet dog testing products. – Dave Rubello”Teddy w:dave rubello 5:25:19

I want to say a huge thank you to 4 Paws 1 Heart for backing his medical, Sara Holtzman for doing everything in her power to get this babe to safety and last but not least Stephanie Scully and her patient husband for fostering him. Also to his new family with Nicole Szabla for giving him the best shot at a bright future with lots of love! Blu would have ended up in a shelter if it weren’t for all of you, but he made it safely to his forever home and very quickly at that! This is why i do what I do, look at that face! No I’m not crying, you’re crying! ❤️ #rescueon – Cortney”

Belfor – Found Emaciated and Heart Worm Positive

5/22/19 – While working as a contractor for the electric utility, a caring man came across a starving dog. The dog’s hip bone seemed to be coming “out of his skin” and he had many scars and scabs. He and his girlfriend took Belfor to a vet and although the hip issue was corrected, Belfor was found to be heart worm positive. They were told to contact us and we said ‘yes’. Belfor started his 30-day regiment yesterday and will receive his final treatments in about one month. The couple were unable to find his owners but they have fallen in love with him. So very often, owners dump their pets on the street once they find out there is an expensive medical issue. That’s my assumption because this seems to happen far too often. Prayers for this 3-4 year old boy. ~ diana

Team Chance and 4 Paws 1 Heart Wishes All Moms a Happy Mother’s Day

5/12/19 – I couldn’t have said it better. Happy Mother’s Day to all and thank you for making our mission possible. A number of these cuties continue to be supported by 4 Paws 1 Heart because they have been deemed un-adoptable due to age or injuries. May God watch over all of the mothers – fur or human. And, during another difficult “kitten season”, we commit to do everything we can to reduce the number of unwanted animals from being born. ~ diana

Dexter – Left Behind in a Basement When Owners Moved

5/9/19 – Meet Dexter. His owner left him behind, in the basement, when they moved. Our friend, Megan, with Friends of Scooby, took him in and brought him to one of our favorite veterinarians, Dr. Zalac, Orion Animal Hospital. Dexter had a broken tooth, an abscess on his face, and had ‘yeasty’ ears. He had surgery yesterday to extract the broken tooth and dental cleaning. He was also given antibiotics for his infections. Anyone interested in this very abused boy should contact Megan at: [email protected] . ~ diana

Piggy – She Was Living in Filth on a Porch – No Shelter and No Food/Water

5/5/19 – Piggy Update. Anyone interested in this beauty should contact Megan at Friends of Scooby Rescue, [email protected] Again, without our donors, we could not make a difference in so many lives. – diana
4paws1heart.org/donations/

“I met this dog and her yard mate a little over a year go. She was living in filth on a porch with broken windows, no shelter from the elements and no food or water. While her yard mate was living on a chain with no straw in his dog house, a frozen water bucket and a food bowl full of mud.

I started providing food and straw to fatten up their scrawny bodies. They were vaccinated and Micro-chipped. And then sent to be spayed and neutered – it was there that we discovered Piggy had severe ear infections in both ears and Cauz was heartworm positive with elevated kidney and liver levels. We started the process of treating both dogs and they were moved up north to a foster home. Their amazing foster taught them how to be a house dog. She gave them stability, rules and a routine. She taught them that all humans aren’t bad and showed them unconditional love.
3 weeks after being cleared for adoption, Piggy tore her CCL in her right knee requiring surgery. Football squares were sold, bottles were returned, donations were collected – what we lacked, 4 Paws 1 Heart made up the difference. Surgery was done on December 17th and she was moved to another foster home closer to me. She is still in the healing process but she is doing fantastic. She is now on her 3rd foster home and waiting to be adopted.
She loves kids and other dogs and most recently we discovered she is OK with cats. – Megan”piggy 5:4:19

Blu – His Owner Died and the Friends Who Took Over Could No Longer Care For Him

5/3/19 – Meet Blu (the boy on the left). Sadly, his owner died a few months ago and the friends who took him in are now being evicted from their home and can’t continue to care for him. Fortunately, our friend, Cortney, has found a foster and will take him in under her rescue but we will pay for him to be neutered. So very sad for all involved. Anyone interested in this sweetheart should contact Cortney at: [email protected] . – diana

Tater – Found in an Abandoned Home and Found to be Heart Worm Positive

4/30/19 – Tater was found in an abandoned home. She was taken to All About Animals by her finder where she was vaccinated, spayed, and treated for tape worm. She was also found to be positive for heart worm. At that point, we were contacted for help. We arranged for a visit to one of our favorite veterinary hospitals, Patterson’s in Clinton Twp., and Tater was started on her heart worm treatment. She was also found to have whipworm and that treatment was also given. Please remember Tater in your prayers and pray for all of the animals out there suffering from injuries and disease with no one to care for them. Without your donations, these animals would never have a second chance at life. ~ diana
