CocoNut – Emaciated, Flea Infested, and a Wound on Her Head
1/18/19 – Meet Coco-nut who is now with our good friends at Misfit Angels Rescue. Coco-nut was found living with a human and another dog in a car. She was very thin, flea ridden, and had a wound on her head which appeared to be caused by some kind of trauma. Fortunately, the owner surrendered Coco-nut to someone who contacted Misfit Angels for help. Coco-nut was taken to the hospital where it was found that her kidney levels were elevated. At first they were treating her for possible leptospirosis (result from drinking rat urine), but then decided the damage was probably the result of being fed something toxic. Coco-nut spent several days in the hospital and will have to be on kidney food and monitored for the rest of her life. But, she is doing great and went home to her foster on January 13. We were thankful that we could help Coco-nut and our long term friends with Coco-nut’s medical needs. Anyone interested in this sweetie, should contact Misfit Angels Rescue. ~ diana

Diddy – He Found the a Safe Place and is Now Adopted
1/17/19 – Meet Diddy. It started in late October when I received a message from the granddaughter, Amber. This very sweet cat showed up on her grandmother’s porch appearing very sick. Fortunately, we were able to work things out to get Diddy to the vet and Amber worked hard to find Diddy’s owner (without any luck) and then find a forever home. Well, on December 22, we received the good news that Diddy had been adopted into a great home. It’s not easy to take on these responsibilities for an animal in need and we are very thankful for people like Amber and her family who went beyond the call of duty for this very cuddly kitty. (the third photo is from when he was rescued, the others were after rescue)~ diana

Mia – She Was Stuck for 3 Days in a Hole in a Tree
1/14/19 – Meet beautiful Mia! We received a message about this very sweet cat who had been stuck in a hole in a tree for about 2 to 3 days. The homeowner contacted the local fire department and they were able to rescue her. Unfortunately, though, the poor little girl was limping and seemed to be in pain. We were asked to help with a medical visit in that the homeowner is a single mom on a limited income but would love to give Mia a furever home. Mia was taken to a vet last Thursday and it was found that she has a broken pelvis. She will be on crate rest and will have a follow up visit this week. When appropriate, we will also make sure that Mia is spayed and vaccinated so she will be all set for her new family. God bless Mia’s new mom for caring and God bless the firefighters who saved her from a horrible death. ~ diana

Rosie Roo – Update
1/13/19 – 
“Hi Team, it’s me…your girl Roo! Soooo, Dr. Z got my test results back and almost everything looks great for a girl of my maturity 😊
I dont have a uti, my kidney values are the best they’ve ever been!!! The one thing that was off was my T4, which is my thyroid. If my thyroid is off that can throw everything off just like with humans. So when I go back to see Dr. Z this Friday she will do a Thyroid Panel and send it out to MSU, it takes 7-14 days to come back. Dr. Z says if it’s my thyroid causing my issues that’s a super easy fix with meds!!! Course, still I’m no youngster so I’m going to have things come up due to my age and we just have to deal with that. But we prefer thyroid meds to doggy dementia, although..Dr. Z has supplements for that too! Mom thinks my eye bulge is coming down so my eye pressure is probably getting better with the drops & I’m pacing less with the pain meds for my eye. I had 2 accidents Friday night, but guess what??? Last night I didnt have any!!! So here’s hoping for great sleep & peaceful nights ahead, seems like Dr. Z,4 Paws 1 Heart & mom have got everything under control & heading in the right direction for me! And on that note, it’s time to for some of that great sleep right now! Sweet dreams everybody, we’ll see you all tomorrow! Love & Licks ❤ Rosie Roo – Team Chance”
Soup – Update
1/13/19 – Remember Soup? His mom shared this memory with us. You can follow his journey on our website–4 paws1heart.org
Diana
” 1/14/15 – Remember Soup? He was found as a stray 1year ago with his head stuck in a soup can? The shaved area on his hind end was because another animal crushed his pelvis. Unable to defend himself, he cried and crawled until someone heard him and contacted us for help. I took him home to recover from his shattered pelvis (12 weeks to officially heal), and this December made one year fostering him. Longest foster ever in my home. I’m very happy to report that Soup will be going to his forever home this Friday. I will miss him dearly, but this family is wonderful for him! They are perfect, he is perfect, and he will get the love and attention he deserves. We are so blessed to have given him a 2nd chance especially after being found on the street unable to walk.. Gina”
