Bowling Fundraiser – Thank You To Our Sponsors and Raffle Donors

Posted on by

I want to thank the 160+ people who turned out for our Bowling Fundraiser on Saturday, May 11, 2019. From the look of things, I believe everyone had a good time and were very proud to make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and abused. I also want to sincerely thank our Sponsors and our Raffle Prize donors because, without them, we wouldn’t attract the numbers that we do.

Some of our Raffle Prize Donors are: Infinity and Ovation Yacht Charters,Andiamo, Anderson, Eckstein, and Westrick, The Pleasure Zone, David A. Susko, D.D.S. And Associates, P.C., C.J. Barrymore’s, Angie Maurer Burnsof Norwex, Dee & Rick Gudenau, Marjorie Treppa, Cheryl Allmacher, Angela Rogensues, Cynthia Wojtowycz, Julie Ann Van Ameyde, Grace E. Cracchiolo, Alexis Werner, Gina DeLuca, The Loop Hair and Nail Salon A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon, Shear Trends Salon, Bambi Pesti Hartter, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Filipo Marc Winery. Our sponsors are listed here.

Again, it truly takes a village of businesses, veterinary hospitals, donors, and rescuers. May God Bless all of you and please know that many animals will be given a second chance because of you. ~ diana

The Wedding Shoppe – Fundraises for 4 Paws 1 Heart

Posted on by

1/23/19 – My husband, Tony, has played an integral role in the work of 4 Paws 1 Heart. He delivers donated food and supplies to rescuers and shelters, he runs to the bank and the post office, works the fundraisers, etc. And, yesterday, the two of us went to visit our friends at the Wedding Shoppe in Berkley. The Wedding Shoppe has chosen 4p1h as their Charity Partner for December and January. Shawn Spears-Vilk, who we’ve assisted with her rescues, has been our avid supporter. The Wedding Shoppe is absolutely amazing. Their gowns are like nothing I’ve seen. It made me want to go back 46 years and get married all over again. I would encourage anyone looking for a wedding gown to make the Wedding Shoppe your first stop.
On our way home, Tony and i once again talked about how one of the best things to come out of the 4p1h journey (besides assisting over 5500 animals) has been the wonderful, kind, and caring people we have met along the way — many of whom have become dear friends. Here is Shawn, Michelle, and I in front of the ‘Paw Wall’ and some of the kitties we have helped Shawn with. In fact, Michelle is the proud mom of two of them. ~ dianashoppe Wedding Shoppe 1:23:19 shawn wilk spears 1:23:19

12/2/18 – Over the years we have assisted a very kind person in her efforts to spay/neuter (and sometimes find homes) and care for a cat community. And now, she and her employer, The Wedding Shoppe,https://theweddingshoppe.net/ in Berkley, MI want to give back. 4 Paws 1 Heart has been selected as the Wedding Shoppe’s “charity to bless” by donating a portion of the December gown sales to 4 Paws 1 Heart.

Girlie Girl Salon and Boutique – Thank YOU

Posted on by

12/2/18 – Mere words aren’t enough to thank the many businesses who have consistently supported 4 Paws 1 Heart. One of those businesses is Girlie Girl Salon and Boutique in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI. Once again they held a winter sale where a portion of their proceeds was donated to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Because of their generosity, 64 cats or 26 dogs will be spayed/neutered thus resulting in hundreds of unwanted cats/dogs from being born to die alone on the streets. Please support our generous business partners who do so much for us. ~ diana

Utica Education Association Staywell Committee – Thank YOU

Posted on by

12/2/18 – A huge thank you to our friends at the Utica Education Association Staywell (UEA) Committee for once again including 4 Paws 1 Heart in their Howl O Ween Hustle. Their support will allow us to spay/neuter 40 cats. When you consider that one female will produce a litter (averaging 5 kittens) three times a year for most of her life, that is 15 kittens a year who will not be born to live and die on the streets. – diana
