Update: just found out Riot is a girl.
7/19/18 – Dear Friends, It’s been one stressful day for not only me, but our rescuers, and our poor little boy, Riot. We need your prayers and anything you can afford to donate. In fact, a supporter has offered to MATCH up to $1,000 in donations between now and next week, Friday, July 27, 2018 to help us with the two parvovirus dogs we took on over the past week. Please help by donating at: http://4paws1heart.com/

RIOT Update: After 24 hours in emergency, Riot was moved to a day practice in hopes of getting him appropriate medical treatment at less of a cost. As you know, it’s imperative that we not only think about the animal but we have to watch our expenses. Unfortunately, it was not too long when I realized that I made a mistake and should have kept this sweet boy at the emergency. So, off he went again to the Emergency hospital. Riot’s white cell levels have been consistently dropping but we still have hope. Little did I know that puppies have less of a chance of beating parvo because they are already starting out with a very limited immune system. He is now having a feeding tube installed while getting fluids and other drugs. Please say a prayer, send some positive energy, and, if you can donate what you can by using the donate link on the left side of this page. Thank YOU, diana

7/18/18 – We have now committed to helping a second parvo virus positive puppy in just a little over a week and any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Riot is just a puppy who was going to be euthanized at the Detroit Animal Control after being tested positive for the parvo virus. Please understand that municipal shelters just don’t have the means to provide medical in these situations. Although he was not showing symptoms at the time, the fact that he tested positive was enough for the death sentence. I was contacted last night and over night, he started to show signs of the virus. He is on his way to the emergency now. We hope we have been able to catch this deadly virus soon enough for full recovery.
If you can help, donations can be made by using the ‘donation’ link on the left side of this page. Or by mail, at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080. Thank you and please send a prayer and some positive energy. ~ diana

7/9/18 – A neighbor found this dog hanging around his property. She was in heat and very dehydrated. Rebel Dog Rescue took her in and asked for our help to have her spayed, tested, and vaccinated which we were glad to do. If you are interested in Evita, please contact Juniper at: juniperfleming@gmail.com . – diana

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
