Honoring Women Who Make A Difference
3/8/17 – International Woman’s Day – Make a donation today in honor of that special woman in your life. She may be a mother, a manager, a teacher, a business owner, a veteran, a rescuer — any woman who has made a difference in this world. My donation today will be in honor of one of the strongest women I have ever known, my grandmother. Born in 1904 and finding herself pregnant at just 17, spent time in a home for unwed mothers until her child was born. Her son went on to be a WW II veteran who was like a second father to me.
And, talking about women who have tried to make a difference. 4 Paws 1 Heart was founded by two women. Me, (Diana Rascano, retired Director from DTE Energy), and Gina Deluca, Licensed Veterinarian Technician (extraordinaire). With the help of four phenomenal business women, our organization became a 501c3 and a Board was put in place. Today our Board consists of 9 very smart, hard working, and caring women who go above and beyond to raise funds that will be used for medical treatment for abandoned, stray, and abused animals. Since August of 2010, 4 Paws 1 Heart has paid $480,856 in medical bills for over 4,000 animals. And, we couldn’t have done it without the financial support of our followers. Donations can be made through paypal on this page, on our website,www.4paws1heart.org, or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI . 48080. Please share and remember that 99 cents for every dollar donated, goes directly to the medical care of the animal.

Giving Tuesday
1/23/17 – Dear Friends, Many of you donated money during the Giving Tuesday Gates Foundation Match. Unfortunately, Facebook Donations through Network For Good does not provide names nor addresses of the donors. As many of you know, when we receive a donation, I almost immediately send personal thank you letters or e-mails. I feel bad about not being able to respond to all of you because what I received from Network For Good was just a listing of anonymous donations. Please, if you donated to 4 Paws 1 Heart during this campaign and you would like a receipt or acknowledgement for your donation, please private message me. Once again, I continue to be humbled by the generous friends we have been able to make over the past 6 years. ~ diana

Giving Tuesday 2016 – Be A Hero
11/29/16 – BE A HERO ON THIS GIVING TUESDAY by donating today to 4 Paws 1 Heart. With your support we can continue to make miracles like this happen.
It was a freezing January 20, 2015 afternoon when I received a call from our friend at Hopeful Heart Animal Rescue. She had been contacted by the Roseville Police about a dog found tied behind the Walmart store in Roseville, MI. The dog was found with her paw chewed off. She needed to be taken to emergency immediately — “Could 4 Paws 1 Heart cover the bill”. Our answer was yes and Courtney was taken immediately to our friends at Advanced Animal Emergency. Courtney needed emergency surgery before her leg became infected and before the bones in her intestines would cause a rupture. Within just a couple of hours, Courtney’s leg was amputated and the bones within her intestines were removed and she was on the road to recovery. It was surmised that the freezing cold had actually saved Courtney from actually bleeding out and dying while tied up and unable to escape.
After some investigation, video of the area showed two men get out of their car and tie Courtney to a structure two days before she was found. As you could see them pulling away (although unable to see the license plate), Courtney tried to chase them but was restrained by the rope. We don’t know when Courtney actually chewed her paw off; it could have been before she was dumped at the Walmart store in that no other remains were found near her. Fortunately, a kind employee found her and contacted the police. Her story went viral all over the world (check out 4paws1heart.or) and within days her story was aired on WDIV.http://www.clickondetroit.com/…/dog-left-chained-u…/30844982
Almost two years later, she is a happy, healthy dog living with a great family with two teenage sons who are very much in love with her.
