Nala – Abandoned Twice – Hoping That Third Time is the Charm

Posted on by

8/18/18 – Poor Nala was abandoned twice by her owners but luckily her first owners lives near our good friend, Denise, who is the mom of Chance and Team.  Denise thought for sure the second adopters would provide her a forever home but that was not to be.  Fortunately for Nala, Denise continued to be her Guardian Angel. ~ diana

“Happy Life Nala!!!!
Nala’s adoption went amazing today and shes on her way to paradise as we type this! She took to her new mom Shirley right away! Shirley is extremely knowledgeable about dogs with Nalas temperament and Border Collies in general. Shes going to have 40acres of land, trails, river & lake and be super loved & cherished. Her brand new bed was in the back of the SUV for her ride home with her mom and their neighbor and when the time came to leave, Nala jumped right in with the biggest smile on her face like she just knew she was going home at last. Nalas fur siblings are anxiously waiting to greet her! Huge thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart, Tom & Marilyn Bedell Pontack and Shirley’s niece Karen for helping to make this tricky adoption happen. We love you Nala, enjoy the best years of your life at your amazing new home!- Denise”Nala 8:18:18

Mickey (aka Neo) – Looking Back Over the Past 8 Years

Posted on by

8/18/18 – HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY TO 4 PAWS 1 HEART. To celebrate this momentous occasion, one of our Board members has offered to match up to $1,500 in donations made over the next week. As a reminder to all of our supporters, we will take a look back at some of our many miracles. This is Mickey (now Neo). It was January, 2017 when I was called about a sweet dog found licking frozen water in the street. He had a cherry eye and he turned out to be heart worm positive. We thank God for his rescuer and and for the donations that made our help possible. Here he is then and now since he’s been adopted by a loving family who adores him.

August 18, 2018 4 Paws 1 Heart celebrates its 8th Anniversary –over 5,000 animals and $665,888 in paid medical bills. And it couldn’t have happened without our rescue friends and our supporters. Starting tomorrow we have a $1,500 match starting as well as a trip down memory lane. Please be sure to check out our posting and share it — and to my family and friends, who have supported me over the past 8 years, — a sincere thank you. Also, a huge thank you to our Board of Directors, my husband Tony, and my dad who chose to honor my mom by having contributions made in her memory last July, 2017 when she passed away. We raised over $7,000 at that time and it truly made the difference in so many lives. I also want to recognize Kroger, Colleen’s Irish Pub, Harbor Lanes, Painting with a Twist,Jefferson Yacht Club, and 100 Women Who Care – Grosse Pointe as great community partners. ~ dianaCollage Pg 1 February 22 - April 4 Page 8

Bubba – Found on the Streets and Would Have Been Euthanized

Posted on by

Meet “4 Paws 1 Heart”, “Bubba”. He was found on the streets and after his stray hold we took him in. Bubba is adorable, kind, and so gentle. He will have a great life from now on. It started when I saw him in a cage and in a fetal position shaking to death. He was a stray and he wouldn’t make eye contact…just literally terrified. I had to help him no matter what.
No one claimed him.
I just adore him. ♡ He is good with animals, people, and everyone he meets. Bubba is being treated for mange, he is being vaccinated, and he is gaining more confidence and happiness every day. ~ ginabubba 8:11:18

Rosie Roo – Needs Your Prayers

Posted on by

8/9/18 Continued Prayers for Rosie Roo. – diana

“Hi everybody…I’m home! Sooo, Dr. Z let me come home becuse I was doing better and hadn’t had any eeeewy pooey while I was there.
So I had IV meds & injections today, and some other testing and 3 meds to have at home and we’ll see how I do tonight. Staying overnight at the emergency hospital on IV meds was discussed but Dr. Z & mom both agreed I wouldn’t be happy, or get any rest there, I wouldn’t eat and would be continually barking for mom. Sooo, the plan is we see how I do tonight and if I’m still feeling yucky I go back early in the morning and am admitted for the day again for IV meds. If I do feel better tomorrow then I will go in and have my IV port that’s hiding under this pretty purple wrap removed. Let’s all pray for removal please, Cus Dr. Z is thinking it’s one of 2 things. Either it’s a really mean bacterial infection and this power regimen of meds are going to fix it, or the meds dont help and then we’re looking at the C word.
So, I ate my dinner with my new meds mixed in. I’ve got 1 more med to take tonight…and hopefully we all get a better nights rest then last night. Please keep me in your prayers and it sure would help with my mounting vet Bill’s if you are able to make a donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart at 4paws1heart.org/donations/ and in the message box put “For Rosie” As of right now my Bill’s for the last couple weeks are right around $1000.00 and if I get better I still have my dental scheduled for the 29th. One thing I know for sure mom and 4 Paws 1 Heart will ALWAYS do what’s best for me. But I sure hope I get better cus I dont like it when my mom crys. She says its pepper got in her eyes, but I know its cuz she loves me so much ❤-Rosie Roo”rosie roo 8:8:18

Rosie Roo – Needs Your Prayers

Posted on by

8/8/18- Senior Lady, Rosie Roo, is one of the animals 4 Paws 1 Heart committed to helping until that time her quality of life is at stake. Rosie is on a special diet and her rescue mom works hard to ensure Rosie’s dietary needs are always met. With the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart, Rosie has had almost every tooth removed and if she gets through this current crisis, she will need more dental work. Unfortunately, Rosie has had bouts of diarrhea and has been under doctor’s care but recently the stool has had considerable blood in it. Rosie was seen today by one of our favorite doctors and she suggested we try a different round of medications but also said that she suspects Rosie has glaucoma. So, the doctor is going to run some tests and may also prescribe medication for that. All of this medical care comes with a significant cost but Rosie has been a fighter since she was rescued as a 15 year old dog, roaming alone on the streets. She is so very sweet and, other than her current medical issues, seems to be happy and enjoying her loving home. Please say a little prayer for Rosie and send some positive energy. ~ diana

Hilary – Found on the Streets; Very Emaciated and Frightened

Posted on by

8/7/18 – Hilary was found wandering the streets, very emaciated. She has been reported to Warren Animal Control and posted on For The Love of Louie but no one has claimed her. Her finder says that she is very scared of every movement. She has scarring and seems to have been abused. Carolyn, her rescuer, says that she is very sweet and listens well. Carolyn is seeking placement for Hilary and asked us if we could pay for her vetting so as to improve her chances. If you can help, please contact Carolyn at: carolynrc2013@gmail.com ~ dianahilary 8:7:18 hilary i:7:18++
