7/11/18 – They were abandoned in a sweltering garage and found very malnourished. Thankfully, they were rescued and we were contacted for medical help. Thelma and Louise did see our vet last Saturday and were treated, vaccinated, and tested for heart worm. In about a month they will be spayed.

Booey – Struck with and Infection or Bacterial Disease
7/3/18 – Booey had an episode which left him unable to move his front legs and resulted in limited movement of his neck. He was rushed to emergency. The vet thinks it could be an infection or bacteria in the central nervous system causing this. He is currently being prepped for a CSF test (takes the Cerebrospinal fluid from lower back).
Booey has a long road ahead but is improving and responding slowly to treatment daily. Booey has kept his spirits up and always has a kiss for all that comes near. 4 Paws 1 Heart is happy that we could help in his journey to recovery. He is with Make A Difference Rescue. ~ diana
Liberty – Thrown Out of the Back of a Vehicle
Thankfully, Gina was there and because of the amazing support of our donors and Gina’s strong connections to the medical world, 4 paws 1 heart was able to have this dog taken to and treated by emergency doctors — but, unfortunately the owners cannot reimburse. We never know the situation with a stray animal. We are thankful an owner was found. We just pray that the owner will be more watchful. There is still a dog missing. – diana

Ozzie – He Was Abused an Abandoned
6/29/18 – Rebel Dogs Detroit recently took in a female who shortly afterward had 13 puppies. We have helped them recently with a couple of dogs and the other day they were called about, who they think, is the ‘father’ of the 13 puppies. He was wandering the streets after the family that had been abusing him moved away and abandoned him. We were happy to pay for Ozzie to be neutered, tested, and vaccinated. No more puppies for Ozzie! Anyone interested in adopting Ozzie should contact Juniper at Rebel Dogs Detroit ~ diana
Montana – Used and Abused by a Backyard Breeder
6/25/18 – Montana was used by a backyard breeder, likely kept in the backyard, in horrible living conditions where her repeated ear infections were not treated. Her ears formed scar tissue that narrowed her ear canal and trapped bacteria and infection, while continuing the cycle of more ear infections. Despite the pain and discomfort involved, she is very sweet and generous with her love and affection. Montana found herself in a municipal shelter where she would have been euthanized due to her medical costs, but staff/volunteers lobbied to give this girl a chance which is how she ended up with I Heart Dogs. During her first ear surgery, her ear canal was closed and she has lost hearing in that ear. I Heart Dogs elected to save her hearing in the second ear (where there was less damage) and 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to contribute to this surgery. Eventually, Montana will be available for adoption through I Heart Dogs, Warren, MI. ~ diana

Buster and Bella – Their Mom Passed Away From Cancer
6/18/18 – Their mom just passed away after battling cancer. A forever home was found for them but a condition of the adoption was that all medical needs be addressed. Unfortunately, as senior dogs, both had serious dental issues which required not only cleaning, but teeth removal. In their mom’s memory, 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for their dental needs as well as their vaccinations. They are now on their way to live the rest of their lives with their new mom.
4 Paws 1 Heart has been inundated with requests for help. Unfortunately, this is the time of the year when many people believe that the medical needs for animals are at their lowest. This is NOT the case. Only with your financial support can we continue to help those who have no one else. Donations can be made by using the link on the left side of this page, on our website 4paws1heart.org or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI . 48080. Thank YOU so very much. ~ diana

6/15/18 – Prophet was found ‘living’ in a garage where no home existed. Unfortunately, this is an area where animals are often found abused and tortured. We were thankful that we could be there for Prophet and help him on his road to recovery. ~ diana
