Angel and Cookie (aka Lucy) – Before Adoption

5/13/17 Happy Mother’s Day! It doesn’t matter if your children are human, felines, or canines. It doesn’t matter if you are a foster mom, an adoptive mom, or a birth mom. What matters is the unconditional love and guidance moms bring to their children. Here is a photo from last year of one of the best foster moms in our Village — Gina’s Angel. Angel has fostered week-old kittens, puppies, recovering animals, and animals, like Cookie (now Lucy), who have been so emotionally abused. Today, Angel continues to be there for any lost or broken animal that Gina DeLuca rescues and Lucy is in her forever, loving home with our good friends Jean McAlees Winteringham and her husband, Phil. Much love to all of our friends who make our work possible. ~ dianaangel and cookie 5:13:17

Rosie Roo – Update

5/8/17 – Please pray for our Rosie. She is the sweetest dog I have ever met. I can’t imagine what would have happened to her had our friend, Denise, did not see of her plight. We love this sweet senior and will do whatever is necessary to make her last year’s, happy years. – diana

“Helloooo Team, its me…Rosie Roo⚘ Im home from the vet and ready for a nap. Soooo, I got my ummm, you know…back there cleaned out and my polyps checked and that was allll good 😊 I got medicine for my legs aches when its cold & rainy. Then my awesome vet looked in my mouth….sorry about the bad breath Doc. And yep, I got yucky teeth again. I only have 11 left, hope they dont take too many! So my dental is set for this Friday pending the results of my bloodwork from today. Also I got some antibacterial pads for mom to clean the little corners of my mouth that get red & irritated and a little skin infection going on from my hangy lip skin. Sheesh! My fatty tumors have not grown and my heart & lungs sound good. So we’re praying all goes well with my dental. Its always scary giving a girl my age anesthesia, but becuse 4 Paws 1 Heart and their generous donors love me so much Im able to get excellent veterinary care and they take extra special precautions with us seniors. Thankyou 4 Paws 1 Heart! Sooo, now Im going to have myself a well earned nap before dinner time. Love you, Love Rosie Roo⚘”

Tobi – Lost His Leg as a Result of Being Hit By Car Because He Wasn’t Leashed

5/4/17 – A large passion of mine has always been awareness and education because I feel that is where it starts. The pics we post can be graphic to some, but if it can assist in saving a life then I have accomplished my goal. This 6 month old puppy is an example of a pup that was let off leash. I am against letting an animal freely roam unrestrained in an unfenced area. It takes only one second for something to go terribly wrong so why allow that to happen if you can prevent it? Stabilization, surgery, and recovery for a dog hit by a car can cost an average of 1-10 grand and that is IF they make it. Unless you have the cash and are willing to take the risk of your pets life, you should be more responsible. This 6 month old pup lost his leg and we were fortunate to be able to help him, but he could’ve easily lost his life. Please, don’t allow your animal off the leash. Gina

Friends of Scooby, contacted us to see if we could pay for her to be spayed and, of course, we did.
