12/2//15 – YOU DID IT!! Thank you, dear friends, for meeting the challenge of our Secret Santa. The $1,500 matching check is on its way and because of you and our Secret Santa, we will be able to help many more animals who will, unfortunately, come our way. This baby is a good example of the types of cases we will continue to see this winter. Our friends are still trying to catch him. He is missing an eye and has been hanging out on the deck of a lady who contacted us. Thus far he has been elusive; but, with our prayers and positive energy, maybe he will be caught tonight so that we can get him to the vet. Again, we have the best supporters and please know how much we appreciate you.

Thank YOU – Utica Education Association Staywell
11/16/15 – The Board of 4 Paws 1 Heart sends a huge THANK YOU to Utica Education Association Staywell for making 4p1h a recipient of some of the proceeds from their recent Halloween Hustle 5k/8K. The event was a lot of fun and required a lot of hard work by Nancy Smith, Chairperson, and the many teachers, students, and friends who volunteered. Please check them out and keep an eye out for the next 5K event, The Hoodie Hoo, which will take place in March 5, 2016 at the Lake St. Clair Metro Park. We are honored to be associated with this very generous, community focused organization. ~ diana
Are You Ready for Some Football – Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers
California Pizza Kitchen Hosts Another Fundraiser for 4 Paws 1 Heart!!
Fundraising – Your Donations Save Animals
10/14/15 – You don’t know how much I hate this but donations have been very, very slow and we are now at an all-time low that may restrict us from doing anything other than minor vet visits and low-cost spaying/neutering. Although our generous veterinarians provide us with discounts, veterinarian bills are still expensive and there is no way of getting around it. How can we turn our backs when an animal may lose an eye or is dying of heart worm or parvo?? With just Chance and Sommerset, we have paid over $4,000 in medical bills. But, can we really say no when these animals have so much will to live?? From January 1 through October 15, 2015, 4 Paws 1 Heart has paid $104,000 in medical bills. An amazing feat for such a small organization which started just 5 years ago in southeast Michigan. Please, please consider making a donation. If every person who is a friend of this page and Chance’s A Second Chance For Chance page made just a $5 donation we would be able to continue with making an amazing difference for our four-legged babies who deserve a second chance in life. If you would like to make a donation, please click on the donation link on this page, or by mail, a check can be sent to P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080, or on our website at 4paws1heart.org. 99.9% of your donation dollar goes directly to the rehabilitation of the rescued animal—not too many 501c3 organizations can say that. We really can’t do it without YOU. Thank you in advance. ~ diana
Fundraising – Detroit Lions VS Green Bay Packers
I know the Detroit Lions have been disappointing but as die-hard fans, don’t you still want to try and root them on to victory against the Green Bay Packers? We may even understand if you root for the Packers (I said understand not like it). Join us for a fun afternoon at Colleens’s Irish Pub, St. Clair Shores, MI rooting for whoever you would like and just enjoying the friendship of like-minded people who care about all animals. Hope to see you there! ~ diana
