Babies to A Scooter’s ResQ

Posted on by

All of our babies have gone to A Scooter’s ResQ to eventually find their forever home. It will be a little while yet before they are ready for adoption but anyone interested should submit an application with ASRQ and identify them a “Gina’s Kittens”. I will make sure that anyone who gave Gina or I contact information goes to ASRQ but don’t hesitate to get pre-approval for when they’re ready. I also want to thank our friends at Tigerlily Cat Rescue for offering to help us. ~ diana

Piper’s Story from Divine Canine Rescue

Posted on by

3/26/13 We were happy to help a new rescue referred to us by our friends from Dog Aide-2012. Here is Piper’s story ~ diana

“Piper came to us (Divine Canine Rescue) from a local rescue friend (Jamie from Dog Aide) who had been tracking and trying to catch Piper for days in Rouge Park. Finally, after several days of trying and failing, she was caught. The foster for Piper fell through so Jamie put a shout out on FB for a rescue to step up and help Piper. I ran across the post, hesitant because my rescue wasn’t really ready to launch until late Spring, I offered to take Piper in. 
I saw potential in Piper in her pictures on the screen and decided that Divine Canine Rescue was just going to have to start in March instead of May. 

Since Piper has been with DCR we have really scrambled to get her exposure through online networking and have since taken in several dogs. But Piper will always be our FIRST Divine Canine! Thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart stepping up to fund her vet care we were able to make this happen. We had ZERO funding. Without you (4P1H), Piper would have had nowhere to go, and DCR would have not saved the other lives that it has today. For that I thank you! And so does sassy Miss Piper! ~ Divine Canine Rescue
Thank you!!!

Thanks to Our Supporters

Thanks to our supporters, thirty (30) checks were sent to veterinarians in January and February,2013 to help with the medical bills of rescue organizations, individual rescuers, and our favorite animal control officers. We currently have small credit balances at The PAWS Clinic and All About Animals Rescue to assist in the spaying and neutering of rescued cats and dogs. This was a tough 2 months and we definitely have to build up our coffers to continue. Any and all donations are much appreciated. Donations can be made through paypal or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI  48080~ diana

Jane From Mutts of Motown

Posted on by

2/25/13  4 Paws 1 Heart received this request from Mutts of Motown and after doing our research, we just had to help. I continue to thank God for the selfless rescues who use their own money to help those who can’t help themselves and give these animals the love and respect they too ofent have never had. ~ diana

“This is Jane. She was living in an empty house on Jane st. in detroit with a few other strays. A lady in the area has been feeding them, and I’ve been helping her get one at a time out of there. Most of our rescues are sent to other rescues as there are too many for my small group to handle. I sent two black labs to animal welfare society, the first with her pups she’d had in the empty house. Jane was supposed to go to Precious Pets Rescue this Monday, but on Sunday, the neighbor called to say that a strange pack of dogs came out of nowhere and attacked her and she thought they were killing her. By the time I got there the strange pack was gone and jane was in the empty house, bleeding and very injured. I put a collar and leash on her and she walked to the truck as if to say “get me out of here”. On Monday I took her in; I had already started her on anti-biotics for the many severe puncture wounds. She has heartworm, and is 4 or 5 years old. The 6/gratiot area has been a heartworm area for a few years, our vet seems to think it might be advanced. The other rescue refused to take her, as the foster they had lines up couldn’t keep her seperate from her other dogs, and, Jane, is understandably defensive now. I am determined to help her, as she has not once shown me any sign of human aggression, and seems leash and house trained too. ~ Laura

Welcome Angel

Posted on by

2/25/13  4 Paws 1 Heart received a request for help from our friends at Vigilante Dog Rescue. Please say an extra prayer tonight for all of these unwanted, abused animals who are roaming are streets needing our help. ~ diana

“Everyone, please welcome Angel, the newest canine crew member here at Vigilante Dog Rescue! Freezing, frostbitten, emaciated and completely alone, she sought shelter from the storm last night on someone’s front porch in Detroit- and that someone got in touch with us. We were not planning on taking in any dogs, were only one dog away from being at our capacity once again after Pumpkin Mama’s adoption two weeks ago…but this one dog, this furry Angel, was the dog meant to fill that emergency vacancy in our head foster’s home and heart. Estimated to be somewhere around 7 or 8 years old, with ears bloodied from frostbite, a half healed wound on her back, and every bone sticking out from her starving body, Angel needed us- and she needed us NOW. So we immediately took her to our vet for the full intake exam and begin her vaccines- half given today, the rest tomorrow to go easy on her so vulnerable system- and a heartworm test- which by the grace of whatever higher being there is was a big fat NEGATIVE!! From the moment our director first laid eyes and gentle, kind hands on Angel, it was clear there was just something about her that was special, a warrior’s spirit inside her broken body…so gentle, sweet, and trusting of humans despite how severely she was failed by our species, Angel is one of those special dogs who instantly enters and grabs your heart in the most primal of ways and never, ever lets go. Angel is now a part of our rescue, and a part of each of our souls as well, and the story her sad eyes tell will only get better and brighter from here on out.

Beautiful Alaska

We are so happy to be able to share the success of our rescue friends by helping them with their medical bills for the animals they save. 4 Paws 1 Heart is sending some medical dollars for Alaska. ~ diana
Beautiful Alaska (Ali for short) is looking for her furever home! She was saved by Warren Animal Control from a horrible neglect case where she was all skin + bones. Macomb County fattened her up and sent her out to be spayed. When she tested Heartworm +, she became rescue pull only. Seeing Ali sit there filled of Heartworms, we immediately made room for her! Ali’s heartworm is only stage 1!!!! She will be better in no time! This crazy wiggle butt loves to cuddle. Alaska will be up for adoption soon! Email [email protected] for more info about adopting Alaska! Also, A BIG THANK YOU to her amazing foster parents for helping us save this little girl!!!!!
