8/19/19 – 9 years ago Diana Rascano and I began an organization to help stray cats and dog’s by paying for medical care. The idea was we would help that injured or sick stray on the side of the road so that he/she would not suffer. We would help alleviate their pain. Once stabilized that stray animal would be networked for placement if no owner was found.
Our 9th Anniversary was yesterday. Since then we have branched out and we have been able to help thousands of animals.
I have learned so much along the way..
Without the support of our board members, our significant others, the veterinarians, the hospital staff, the individual rescuers, the rescue groups, the shelters, the animal control officers, the law enforcement, and all of the hard work of Diana, we would not be where we are today.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
This organization means so much to me…words can not describe.
I am just going to add a few pictures of the animals that 4 paws 1 heart has given a 2nd chance to. Each one of these animals has a back story.. It could be abuse, starvation, sick, orphaned, dumped, etc.. The important thing is they would not be where they are today without the support of “4 paws 1 heart” and that’s why we need to keep going. They need us.♡ Read the stories of Azela, Vortex, Izzy and Sox, Cannoli, Samantha, Brutus, Skippy, Onyx, Orphan Kittens, Annie, Bubba, Ellie, Hercules, Stray Kitten, Katniss.

9th Anniversary – Celebrating the 4P1H Anniversary With Saving More Animals
8/18/19 – Dear Friends, Today is our 9th Anniversary. Hard to believe it’s been 9 years of funding medical treatment for abandoned/stray and abused animals. We are blessed to have many supporters which includes individuals, veterinarians, and businesses. We couldn’t have helped over 6,000 animals to the tune of $850,000 in medical bill payments without all of you.
Today, another one of our Board members has generously offered to match up to $1,000 in donations made between today and next Sunday, August 25, 2019. Please help us meet the goal. Your support saves lives. Here are a few of the many animals we’ve helped over the past couple of months. ~ diana

Miracle – Update – Her Leg Will Have to be Amputated
8/15/19 – Update on our Miracle. After her initial vet visit, Miracle’s leg seemed to be getting better. Dead skin was falling off and the leg seemed to be improving. Today, her rescuer contacted me to report that there has been a setback. Miracle will be going back to the vet tomorrow. Please say a little prayer for her. We are committed to her and if she needs to have the leg amputated to save her life, we will be there. Also, Miracle will be needing a forever home. ~ diana
Bandit – RIP – Sweet 12 Year Old Found Alone on the Streets
8/15/19 He was rushed to the emergency last night and will have further testing today. Without you the Bandits of the world would die on the streets. Thank YOU for helping. ~ diana
8/16/19 – Update – Bandit was taken to another vet the following day and a huge mass was found near his organs. It was decided by the rescuer and the doctor that it would be kinder to let Bandit cross the Rainbow Bridge. ~ diana
Ginger – Update
8/14/19 – Another Happy Beginning as the Charity contest winds down and we get ready for our Fun 5k on August 17.
You might remember Ginger. We were contacted in early June about a dog who had been seen getting hit by a truck and no one claimed her. A kind couple rescued her, brought her to a vet and it was determined that her leg was broken. We were then contacted for help. Ginger had surgery and we hoped that would be the end of her suffering. But, unfortunately, not long after the surgery, Ginger broke her leg again and it required amputation. Yesterday I got word from her rescuer (new forever family) that Ginger is doing great and behaving as any puppy would — playful. She is still at that awkward stage when her legs are growing faster than she can handle. The family loves her and says they are forever grateful we were there for all of them. Here’s her now and before photos. 
Coco – Happy Update on the Kitty Seen Being Hit by a Car
8/13/19 – Trust me when I say that I still have a lot more cases to report on but I know that our supporters love happy beginnings so here is one on Coco. It was late December when a kind couple saw a kitten get hit by a car. The driver never stopped but, fortunate, the couple did; otherwise, the kitten would have been run over again on the busy road. The couple brought her to the nearest vet and $400 later contacted us to see if we could just assist with the future medical. We not only did that but we were able to pay for Coco’s emergency treatment. The other day I received an update from Sharon, the rescuer. Coco is doing great and is much loved in her forever home.
We couldn’t do this without you supporting our community partners and our fundraisers — as well as your donations. We thank you so muc

Noelle – Rescued in 2015, Now Needs Your Prayers
8/11/19 
I wanted all of our friends to say a prayer for our Noelle. She was brought into the emergency where Gina worked in December, 2015. She was dying of the parvo virus, but of course, with Gina’s love and care along with the staff, Noelle survived and was adopted to a loving family. Unfortunately, I just learned that Noelle has lymphoma. She has had cancer treatments and is in remission but the doctors have said the cancer can’t be cured. We are so thankful to her loving family who has fought to take care of our girl. ~ diana
