Luna – Passed Around With an Injured Paw From Home to Home

Posted on by
6/3/21 – Prayers for Luna. Here is her story as reported by her rescuer:
“I just recently had a puppy dropped off to me asking me to foster her for a short while. I was told she has a fractured or broken paw although I’m not sure because she has been through two different homes where it was ignored and it’s not my dog or else I would be doing more. But, this puppy is in pain and constantly walking on her hurt paw possibly hurting it more. I can afford some of the vet bills such as getting her shots and possibly x-rays but I was really hoping for some assistance with the splint being that she may need one as soon as possible. Luna is 3 months old, she’s a pit bull/lab mix. Her previous owner said she doesn’t know how she hurt her paw and when she took her to the vet and they told her how much it would cost to get x-rays and a splint and she couldn’t afford it so she gave the dog to someone I know who has special needs. That person was kicked out of her house right after taking the pup in and she asked me to care for the puppy until she could get back on her feet. But, she lives with her parents and they said no to a dog. I don’t feel she’s a fit home for the puppy along with not being able to afford the procedures she might need and I plan on keeping the puppy if I can help her. – Joyce”
Joyce took Luna into her vet, which also happens to be one of our partner vets, and they referred her to us for assistance with the medical. More x-rays were taken and the doctor saw Luna again on May 10 and yesterday, June 2. The doctor is hopeful that Luna may be able to keep her leg as the leg appears to be healing on its own. She has a follow up appointment in two weeks. Paws crossed she has a clean bill of health. We will help Luna with any needed vaccines and spay. Joyce will keep us updated. – diana

Bean, Sawyer, Moon, Coco, Charlie – Rescued from a Mobile Home Park

Posted on by
6/2/21 – These babies were found in a mobile home park and will soon be ready for their makeovers. On June 17 they will be taken to the vet complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart. When you consider that a female cat can give birth 3 times a year and have an average of 5 kittens each time for almost her entire life, the investment made to have these babies neutered/spayed is a valuable one. A donation of $225 will ensure that these five will never be responsible for producing any more unwanted kittens. And, that is what it is all about. – diana

We couldn’t be there for them if it weren’t for our supporters. – diana

Little Foot – Happy Update – One Year Later Before and After

Posted on by
5/31/21 – As we remember those men, women, and military dogs who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and we celebrate the lives they lived, I wanted to share a happy update.
Little Foot was trapped one year ago while some TNR volunteers were trapping behind a local park in St. Clair Shores, MI. The rescuers saw that Little Foot was limping. They took Little Foot to the low-cost clinic they were working with and the vet confirmed that Little Foot had a possible fracture and a gash on his leg. It was recommended he be taken to a full service vet. That is when I got the call. Little Foot was taken to one of our partner vets who determined the leg injury was severe and that something had penetrated through his joint. To repair the breaks in the area consisting of many small bones would be very difficult and would eventually become arthritic at a very early age. The gash in his leg also was very infected and needed to be treated with bandage changes and antibiotics. The doctor recommended amputation once the infections had cleared.. Because of our amazing supporters, we were able to pay for all of Little Foot’s medical needs and eventually his foster family made him a permanent member of their home. Here is an update from Jessica, the person who contacted me, and two photos taken in Little Foot’s furever home. Also, two photos of when he was first trapped. – diana
“Hi Diana,
Little Foot (now formally known as Roman) was adopted by Erin – who was the registered TNR person who assisted with the project. He has fully adapted to his new 3 legged life. He has many cat siblings who welcomed him in to their family. He has grown up to be a very handsome and surprisingly long cat! He’s very chatty now, full of energy and the biggest goofball!
Thank you for helping him get the life he has today. – Jessica”
It truly takes a village!

Posted on by
5/27/21 – Noelle Update..
Poor Noelle has been in and out of the hospital for tests because her appetite hasn’t been noelle 5:27:21consistent. We discovered she has a heart murmur as well. 🙁 The doctor sent her on some new medication and special diet orders for the foster family to follow. Please say prayers that she bounces back soon. Also, if you would be interested in making a donation towards her care we would appreciate it. Noelle has had thyroid issues, dental problems, we had to get her up to date on her vaccines, and several diagnostics to give her a 2nd chance. We never know what an animal will need when we commit, but we follow through and never let them down. ♡ Gina
