Bradley Update…
Last year Bradley was surrendered to 4 paws 1 heart for having seizures. We started him on seizure medication and he never had another one. When he came to us he had sores all over from urine scald and his fur was stained yellow. That day, someone looked at me and said, why would you take on a seizure dog and why would you invest the money??? My response was, because for less than $20.00 a month he can live seizure free and if not then we tried. Look at him now! 4 paws 1 heart is all about giving a chance to these animals that would otherwise have been euthanized. We are realistic about the animals we have helped and we will continue to try where we can. smile emoticon Gina
Laylo – Found Under a Truck
12/7/15/ – Meet Laylo – He was found under a truck and continued to live outside during the entire summer. A kind family who had been feeding him decided to bring him inside and make him their own. 4 Paws 1 Heart offered to pay for neutering and vaccinations and the new owner will get him microchipped. Another baby who won’t have to spend his days outside this winter. ~ diana
Sugar and Spike – Used to Breed for Dog Fighting
12/6/15 – This is Sugar and Spike. Both were rescued from a home that was likely breeding for dog fighting. The police confiscated the dogs and had them surrendered by the owner to the rescuer. Sugar had been bred many times and Spike had been attacked by a dog. Both were chained outside. 4 Paws 1 Heart took care of their medical needs and neither will produce any offspring again. Anyone interested in more information should contact the rescuer, Shayla at [email protected]. Prayers that these used and abused animals find their way into a loving forever home. ~ diana
UPDATE: Providing For Paws Animal Rescue will be taking in these sweet babies. Please check out their page.

Winston and Gina, Animal Angel
12/4/15 Dr. Graves, who is also an angel to the animals, has some kind words about our Gina. The Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center in Harper Woods, is very fortunate to have these two very special people and their dedication; as well as, Dr. Maria Rivera who is also an animal angel and very dedicated to doing whatever she can to make their lives better.

Tigger and Sampson – Found on an Industrial Site
12/3/15 – These “creamsicle” babies were trapped during a TNR (trap/neuter/release) effort some of our friends were doing at an industrial site in Shelby Township, MI. 4 Paws 1 Heart as been backing them up with providing medical care including spaying and neutering. As many of you know, when a kitten or adoptable cat is found, our friends will do everything they can to get that kitten/cat into a home to be socialized and adopted. This is Tigger and Sampson. Unfortunately, Tigger had a severe upper respiratory infection; we hoped medication would help. It did not, and, now Tigger will be scheduled to have his eye removed. Both Tigger and his sibling, Sampson, will also be neutered and will be available for adoption through Heaven on Earth Angels Animal League Again, I want to thank all of our supporters who donate their hard-earned money so that we can make a difference in the lives of those who depend on us.

So Many Abandoned and Abused Animals Needing Our Help
12/2//15 – YOU DID IT!! Thank you, dear friends, for meeting the challenge of our Secret Santa. The $1,500 matching check is on its way and because of you and our Secret Santa, we will be able to help many more animals who will, unfortunately, come our way. This baby is a good example of the types of cases we will continue to see this winter. Our friends are still trying to catch him. He is missing an eye and has been hanging out on the deck of a lady who contacted us. Thus far he has been elusive; but, with our prayers and positive energy, maybe he will be caught tonight so that we can get him to the vet. Again, we have the best supporters and please know how much we appreciate you.
Winston – Miracles Couldn’t Happen Without Our Supporters
12/1/15 – And, this is how your donations are spent. Not to mention, the thousands of animals we have spayed and neutered over the past five years. Don’t forget that all donations made today (up to $1,500), will be matched by our Secret Santa. ~ diana
#Giving Tuesday Update on our gun shot wound dog: He had surgery about 3:00 a.m. The amputation surgery went very well and we were able to have him neutered at the same time. He is in recovery at the moment and resting comfortably with his pain meds. A huge thank you to Dr. Pamela Graves for doing this major surgery.
I’ve included a pic of his foot prior to the amputation, and as you can see his foot was shattered beyond repair. There was no way we could save the leg. Thank you for all the prayers. We’ll update again tomorrow. Gina
