8/9/18 Continued Prayers for Rosie Roo. – diana
“Hi everybody…I’m home! Sooo, Dr. Z let me come home becuse I was doing better and hadn’t had any eeeewy pooey while I was there.
So I had IV meds & injections today, and some other testing and 3 meds to have at home and we’ll see how I do tonight. Staying overnight at the emergency hospital on IV meds was discussed but Dr. Z & mom both agreed I wouldn’t be happy, or get any rest there, I wouldn’t eat and would be continually barking for mom. Sooo, the plan is we see how I do tonight and if I’m still feeling yucky I go back early in the morning and am admitted for the day again for IV meds. If I do feel better tomorrow then I will go in and have my IV port that’s hiding under this pretty purple wrap removed. Let’s all pray for removal please, Cus Dr. Z is thinking it’s one of 2 things. Either it’s a really mean bacterial infection and this power regimen of meds are going to fix it, or the meds dont help and then we’re looking at the C word.
So, I ate my dinner with my new meds mixed in. I’ve got 1 more med to take tonight…and hopefully we all get a better nights rest then last night. Please keep me in your prayers and it sure would help with my mounting vet Bill’s if you are able to make a donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart at 4paws1heart.org/donations/ and in the message box put “For Rosie” As of right now my Bill’s for the last couple weeks are right around $1000.00 and if I get better I still have my dental scheduled for the 29th. One thing I know for sure mom and 4 Paws 1 Heart will ALWAYS do what’s best for me. But I sure hope I get better cus I dont like it when my mom crys. She says its pepper got in her eyes, but I know its cuz she loves me so much 
❤-Rosie Roo”
8/9/18 – While cleaning out an abandoned home, Izzy and her four babies were rescued by a kind man. Izzy was very malnourished and showed little interest in her kittens — probably because she was so sick with an upper respiratory infection. Izzy was seen immediately by one of our great vets and the whole family is being fostered by their rescuer and will be available for adoption. 4 Paws 1 Heart has committed to everyone’s medical needs when ready. If you are interested in adopting, please contact: [email protected] – diana
8/9/18 – It is that time of the year when donations are very, very slow but the need remains very high. In just the past 3 weeks, we have had two parvo cases, a heart worm case, several cases of upper respiratory infections, and just the usual vaccines, flea treatments, spays, and neuters. But we can’t do it without the support of our friends. If you can help, donations can be made on our website: www.4paws1heart.org OR by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080 OR by using the donate link on the left side of this page. Thank you in advance. ~ diana
8/8/18- Senior Lady, Rosie Roo, is one of the animals 4 Paws 1 Heart committed to helping until that time her quality of life is at stake. Rosie is on a special diet and her rescue mom works hard to ensure Rosie’s dietary needs are always met. With the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart, Rosie has had almost every tooth removed and if she gets through this current crisis, she will need more dental work. Unfortunately, Rosie has had bouts of diarrhea and has been under doctor’s care but recently the stool has had considerable blood in it. Rosie was seen today by one of our favorite doctors and she suggested we try a different round of medications but also said that she suspects Rosie has glaucoma. So, the doctor is going to run some tests and may also prescribe medication for that. All of this medical care comes with a significant cost but Rosie has been a fighter since she was rescued as a 15 year old dog, roaming alone on the streets. She is so very sweet and, other than her current medical issues, seems to be happy and enjoying her loving home. Please say a little prayer for Rosie and send some positive energy. ~ diana
8/7/18 – Hilary was found wandering the streets, very emaciated. She has been reported to Warren Animal Control and posted on For The Love of Louie but no one has claimed her. Her finder says that she is very scared of every movement. She has scarring and seems to have been abused. Carolyn, her rescuer, says that she is very sweet and listens well. Carolyn is seeking placement for Hilary and asked us if we could pay for her vetting so as to improve her chances. If you can help, please contact Carolyn at: [email protected] ~ diana
8/5/18 – Add ‘I Give’ to your shopping sites. There are over 1,900 stores who will donate a percentage of sales to 4 Paws 1 Heart.

8/3/18 – RIP Sweet Baby – I am calling her Kitty Andra because Andra rescued her and helped her cross the rainbow bridge. I received a call from an independent rescuer who will be doing TNR at a barn in Armada and we offered to do what we could to help. Andra received a call from the elderly barn owner this morning who said that this 7-week old ‘runt’ of a litter, was ‘struggling’ and could not use a back leg (he thinks a ‘kid’ dropped her). Andra went to the barn and with our medical help brought the kitten to the vet. Kitty Andra was struggling with her mouth open trying to breathe. After a short ride to the vet, it became obvious to Andra that the vet may only be able to save her from suffering any further; which, unfortunately, was the case. I’m so very sorry we couldn’t be there for this sweet girl. Our hearts break every time we have to say good-bye but we are thankful that we can at least prevent these abandoned and abused animals from dying a horrible death alone and on the streets (or in a barn)
8/3/18 – We often help Cristen in her TNR efforts (which are amazing). Very often the ‘feral’ cats will turn out to be kittens or cats who either escaped or we dumped by a former owner. All of these cats were trapped, received medical treatment, which included in Pippa’s case, an injured front paw and a back wound. They will no longer be responsible for the over population of unwanted. When Cristen traps a domesticated cat, he/she will often go to Tigerlily; Cristen is a foster for them. Here is Pippa, Westin, Wilken, and Wally, and Sunny. ~ diana
