4/3/19 – Meet Rescue. He is 5-6 months old and was found running the streets. A couple of days after rescue, he stopped eating and started showing signs of the parvo virus. The rescuer spent the night providing fluids and tried getting him into a vet the following day. While waiting in the parking lot to get help to get him into the vet’s office, the rescuer contacted us. I asked the rescuer to take Rescue to one of our most-trusted doctorsOrion Animal Hospital.
Fortunately, it was determined that Rescue was in early stages and began treatment immediately. After a couple of days of receiving fluids and drugs, Rescue came through with flying colors and is now looking for his forever home. He is a puppy and needs a home where he will be given love, patience, and training. Please contact his rescuer, Bridget at: [email protected] if you are interested. – Diana

4/2/19 – While taking care of many adoptable animals with their medical and adoption needs, there are so many community cats whom we help in our neighborhoods. We have assisted with 14 such cats in Eastpointe, MI who are being trapped by our friends Cortney and Rachel. In some cases, the cats are friendly and thus being fostered while permanent homes can be found. The key too this overwhelming issue is spay/neuter! I am thankful to the many rescuers who contact us for assistance. ~ diana

4/1/19 – Samson was found as a stray at the Detroit/Redford border. He was staying in the bushes and growled at everyone who tried to get him. Finally, a rescue took her little dog to where he was and was able to coax him into the car. Due to his growling and unpredictable behavior at first, Samson was going to be taken straight to the Michigan Humane Society shelter. However, while there, he started to show his loving side. A secure semi-permanent foster was found and Samson started to show what a lover he is! Based on his initial reaction to the rescuer, it is almost certain that he would have been put down at the shelter. Unfortunately, poor Samson tested positive for HW which would have even more ensured his death at MHS. But instead, we were contacted and we agreed to pay for his heart worm treatment, neuter, and vaccinations. He is doing much better and because of his good manners and the fact that he is housebroken makes us suspect that he was dumped where he was found. Maybe he was waiting for his owners to come back….? We are guessing that if he was dumped, it may have been due to his HW. As we’ve suspected in so many other cases. After two weeks of searching for his owners, Samson is moving forward with his new life and is available through Rebel Dogs Detroit. Please contact them if you are interested. Please consider making a donation today because we cannot continue to help these many animals without your support. Thank YOU – Diana

3/28/19 – Meet Louie. We think he will be officially adopted this weekend! His back story is that while a great rescue friend was at the Humane Society with Samson, another rescue, Louie was being brought in and surrendered by his owner’s family. The owner fell while she was walking him and could no longer keep him. She had adopted him only 3 weeks prior when he was surrendered to the Monroe MHS. Louie had been badly neglected by his original owner and was covered in matted fur, overgrown toenails that caused sores on his paw pads, and he has severe separation anxiety due to being left in a crate for up to 18 hours a day. His recent owner loved him dearly and cried so hard when she had to give him up, but she is older and cannot keep him as she will be in a rehab center for many months. The family surrendered Louie to our friend, Shayla, and she promised to find him the perfect home! We were happy to help with his medical needs. ~ diana

3/27/19 – Meet Max. His owner passed away and the owner’s children tossed him out into the backyard. After 3 weeks of fending for himself outside, a neighbor contacted an individual rescuer who we assist quite a bit and she contacted us. Max is scheduled to see a vet and a groomer this week complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart. We will have more information about him after he sees a vet. Word has it that he was an absolute lap dog with his elderly owner. Anyone interested can private message me and I will put you in contact with the rescuer. ~ diana

UPDATE: Our good friends who live in the Traverse City, MI area will be adopting Blaz after his heart worm treatment is completed.
3/26/19 – Blaz showed up in Alanda’s yard. She was told to contact us for help. Of course, we had Blaz seen as soon as we could and he was found to be heart worm positive. Blaz was very emaciated and also had an infection, parasites, and needs to be neutered. The doctor wants him to put on a little weight before heart worm treatment starts. Poor Alanda only knows about cats and has been searching every where to find placement with a rescue. Unfortunately, with 80+ dogs recently found in Macomb County in just two homes, every rescued is stretched to the limits.
We have committed to Blaz’s medical care and Alanda is doing her best to care for Blaz with advice from Gina. Alanda says that Blaz is a very sweet dog. Please contact Alanda at: [email protected] if you can help with placement. ~ diana
