Hope – Still in Need of Prayers
2/15/16 – As you continue to pray for Cupid, please keep Hope in your prayers. She was rescued December 16, 2016 from a barn with over 50 cats. The owner of the barn is elderly and has been overwhelmed. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for many of the feral cats to be spayed/neutered but little Hope needed much more. She had a severe upper respiratory infection which we felt would eventually result in having her eye removed. Since that time, Hope has been to two veterinarians, given medication, and had to have treatment on her eyes but the infection has not gone away. Last night she was taken into the Emergency by her new foster mom because she was not eating and appeared heavily congested. The good news is that her chest x rays showed she is clear but she needs to be on a nebulizer three times a day. She also had a severe case of ear mites. She will need her eye removed once she gets healthy. Just like Carlos, Cupid, and the many others, 4 Paws 1 Heart committed to seeing Hope through until she was healthy and spayed. When that day comes, our friends at Tigerlily have agreed to help with her adoption. We will keep you updated. Thanks, diana
Cupid – His Fight Continues
2/15/16 Cupid Update –
It was one week ago today that Cupid presented to the emergency hospital lifeless and literally dying. The amazing staff at the Animal urgent and critical care center saved his life. Dr. Right and Dr.Graves were then instrumental in getting Cupid under the care of 4 paws 1 heart. He has been with me since, and I am committed to doing everything I can to help make him better. It will be a long road and the most challenging part at this time is getting him to eat, replenish his nutrition, and help him build strength. Your prayers have helped! ♡ Gina
Hercules – Wishing All of His Friends a Happy Valentine’s Day
Cupid – Fighting For His Life – Update
Fundraisers – 2016
2/11/16 – In just the last two weeks, 4 Paws 1 Heart has paid for 30 cats and two dogs, rescued from the streets, to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested. This does not include the two cases Gina just took on and some of the more extensive cases such as the two eye removals that will be coming up, as well as the continuing care of Carlos.
But, we can only do as much as we have funds to cover. Therefore, we are all working hard to raise money — either through individual donations or through fundraisers. Mark you calendars for our upcoming events and we truly hope that you can attend at least one of them. Our fundraisers are all about fun and saving the abandoned and abused. Also, don’t forget about our limited edition of 4 Paws 1 Heart Socks campaign running now through February 15. Thanks for your continued support! ~ diana
Cupid – Almost Lost His Life Because of Backyard Breeders – Still Needs Prayers
2/10/16 –♡ Cupid ♡
I had to post this pic of Cupid from last night. He is adorable with such an obvious will to live, and I will do my best to help make that happen. It takes a village and this started with the doctors and techs who worked on him for 24 hours in the hospital. He was seizuring and lifeless with at least 11 different nutrients that were depleted from his body, yet vital for his survival. Without the medicine, fluids, and aggressive hourly care I could never have taken over his needs. They are the true hero’s here! ♡♡ Gina
Cupid – Prayers Needed for This Baby Born to Backyard Breeders
2/9/16 – Many Prayers are needed right now for this puppy I am calling Cupid. He is the result of breeding by uneducated humans who had no clue about proper nutrition. He was weaned from the mom at about 4 weeks old, and then he was given human milk only for another 4 weeks. He was adopted for a hefty price and then taken to a vet for vaccines. The next day he was taken to emergency unresponsive. Dr. Graves and the staff worked aggressively to get him stabilized, and after 24 hours a decision had to be made. Ultimately, he was surrendered to 4 paws 1 heart for a chance to survive. This puppy is 1 pound of all bones and his eyes were sealed shut. He reminds me of our little Peanut we recently posted about. Malnourishment cases like this take weeks of recovery and can have permanent issues with growth. Only time will tell, but because he is making baby steps of improvement I am happy! Therefore, I will try my best. Gina
Buster – Abandoned Outdoors for 2 and 1/2 Years – May Get A Forever Home
2/9/16 – This handsome boy was being fed for 2+ years by employees at a local manufacturing plant. Unfortunately, the plant is moving its operations and the employees were worried about what would become of him. We were contacted to see if we could help with re-locating him and medical needs. Well, Buster was finally trapped, neutered, vaccinated, and now may be going to a forever home. Please keep your paws crossed. Your donations and support of our fundraisers, do make miracles happen! ~ diana

Hercules came to us from an animal control officer who made the owner surrender little two-month old Hercules after learning that the owner broke both of Hercules’ back legs because “he got into the garbage”.
