6/29/15 – Update on one of two little survivors of the Baseball Eight. Meet Dottie! Here is a report from her foster mom. ~ diana

“Warning! Cuteness overload 🐾
Dottie is doing well. Still some loose stools, but Aunt Gina DeLuca hooked us up yesterday with some medicine and that’s already improving. I eat like a piggie and I am starting to see better. Word on the street is that I’m going to get to live with my brother Miggy soon. His mommy Paula Alfonsi talked with my mommy and they think we will be happier together. I just have to get my butt under control.
Please keep praying for us. We are doing well but still not as strong as others our age. We will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. Thank you Aunt Diana Rascano for being our sugar mama.
Meow 🐾 Mama Tami”

6/28/15 – I am very sad to report that only two babies are left from the Baseball Eight. You may remember that they were found in a box placed in the back of a pick up truck during a baseball game. It was a rainy night and fortunately the caring people who found them immediately put a call out for help. Two very caring women took them in and it has been a heartbreaking road for them. Please pray for the final two. ~ diana

6/28/15 – A bit of sunshine on the gloomy Sunday morning in S.E. MI. Many of our friends will remember Molly and McGee (now Mango) . They spent weeks on death row in a high-kill shelter. Molly was pregnant, sick, and emaciated; McGee was emaciated. Word was that they were not being fed well. A Chief from a nearby County shelter was able to get them released and they found their way into the home of Patricia B. and under the medical care of 4 Paws 1 Heart. McGee didn’t take too much. Once he gained a little weight he was able to be vaccinated and neutered but poor Molly was another story. She gave birth to 5 dead babies and was taken to the hospital to make sure there were no other complications. Molly struggled through her recovery and even though separated by a crate, McGee would spend hours laying on Molly’s crate. Molly had to see the doctor a couple more times but she finally was healthy enough to be spayed. It was then that she tested positive for leukemia. We didn’t know what to do. Then a kind woman, Sue, stepped in and adopted both Molly and McGee. Sue took Molly and McGee to her vet and another test was performed on Molly. Molly tested NEGATIVE for leukemia. The doctor said that tests are not always reliable. And now, just a few months away from that awful time on death row, Molly and McGee(aka Mango) are loved, healthy, and safe. Yes, it does take a village and included in that village are 4 Paws 1 Heart supporters who take the time to participate in our fundraisers and donate their hard-earned money so that we can make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and abused. ~ diana
