“I got to visit Katniss today and it was so nice to see how well she is doing and how much she adores her mommy.

Katniss is a dog that I took into 4 paws 1 heart when I worked at emergency. She was found on the curb stuffed in a baby crate nearly starved to death.

fostered her for months giving her the love, structure and training she needed to heal. Eventually she was adopted into a loving forever home. If u click on the link directly below this sentence u will watch the heartwarming video that says it all. – Gina”

Samantha (after and before) – Over One Year in a Shelter After Being Rescued by Gina — Finally in Her Loving Home

Posted on February 2, 2021 by Diana

1/28/21 – Some of you may remember one of my most memorable rescue situations. Samantha.. Well, I got to have a quick visit and bring some toys to this beautiful girl today. She has a long sad back story, but now she has a wonderful life and I couldn’t be happier for her. It was heartwarming to see how happy she is and how well she is thriving. I’m so glad that her previous owner surrendered her, I heart dog shelter didn’t give up on her until they found the perfect fit, and 4 paws 1heart supporters were able to help with the knee surgeries she required. This was another one of those cases that truly took a village but all soooo worth it! – Gina

Baby Girl – A Victim of a Hit and Run is Out of the Hospital

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Diana

12/31/20 – A Happy Update! Baby Girl left emergency yesterday morning and spent the night sleeping next to her rescue mom. You might remember that Baby Girl is the victim of a hit and run. She suffered trauma to her lungs which resulted in vomiting blood, trauma to her bladder which resulted in blood in her urine, and trauma to her hips and back legs resulting in bruising and pain when walking. Baby Girl also is suffering from road rash. She is now safe in her new temporary home being treated for pain and the road rash. She is being well fed, and is now warm and loved. As so often is the case in the City, no owner could be located. She will be up for adoption when she has healed.

And, as a tumultuous 2020 ends, I would again like to express my sincere appreciation for the amazing people in our community who give up so much of their lives to save animals, our professional and caring veterinary staffs who work with us, and, without whom we could do nothing, our very generous supporters. In a year when so many were out of work, shut down, or facing illness, we were able to give help to more animals than ever before in any one year. The Board of 4 Paws 1 Heart and I wish everyone of you a 2021 filled with much love, laughter, and good health. God’s blessings to all. – diana

Baby Girl – Victim of a Hit and Run

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Diana

12/29/20 – Baby Girl is the victim of a hit and run. It was mid afternoon when i received a call from an amazing rescuer who we’ve helped often. Baby Girl was limping and bleeding from the mouth. We authorized her to go to our emergency partner and that’s where she’ll be through the night. She’s had blood work and x rays. We are not sure of her injuries but the doctors want to make sure there is no internal bleeding. Prayers for these poor stray animals. Thank you for your support. Without you, these animals would have no hope. – diana

Taco – Found During a Snow Storm, Limping

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Diana

12/28/20 – Taco was seen limping and loose during our snow storm in mid-December. It took awhile for the rescuer to catch him but she did and although she is willing to give him a furever home, she couldn’t afford to have him seen for what appears to be an injured paw. We were contacted and Taco was authorized to see one of our partner vets. Taco saw the vet last week but it was determined that he would have to be put under in order to have x-rays taken. Taco was vaccinated and had a general wellness check and is now scheduled for next week to be not only x-rayed but to also be neutered. Unfortunately, Taco did not have a microchip nor did an owner come forward. We will update after Taco’s next vet visit. – diana

Dash – Has His Prosthetic and Will Now Be Able to Walk on Hard Surfaces

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Diana

Dash update! ♡ He was the puppy that was brought into Moore Veterinary Hospital last December with a terrible injury. The owner surrendered him so that he could get the proper care he needed. The doctors and staff at Moore saw to it that Dash received wonderful care. 4 paws 1 heart paid for his initial medical.

We thought he might need amputation or reconstructive surgery, but Dash was a true fighter and continued to thrive.. His rear paw required tons of bandage changes, rest, physical therapy, and a special designed prosthetic created by our good friends at, Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation Center. Dash was neutered recently and he is doing great! He is in a loving forever home with his foster failure Carrie and he has made tons of new friends!!!
