The Baseball 8 – Left in the Back of a Truck During a Baseball Game

6/10/15 – So last night, close to midnight, I got an urgent text. Eight 1 day old kittens were at Wilson Veterinary and they needed someone to pay for their medical. I had no idea what was going on but I called Wilson’s and ok’d it. This morning I saw this is what started the flurry of trying to save 8 little lives. Our friend Michelle from A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue posted this to our volunteers page:

“URGENT! Just got a call. My neighbor is at a softball game and her teammate went to his truck and there was a box dumped in the back with day old kittens. Looks like the umbilical cord is still attached……”

The wonderful group of people on our closed group page jumped into action, got the kittens to Wilson’s to have the umbilical cords removed and then got all eight of them into the loving hands of our friend Tami who is now missing hours of sleep while she bottle feeds them around the clock. So often we focus on the monsters like the person who dumped these babies into the back of a truck and probably stole them from their mom. But, then we have to focus on all of the caring, wonderful people who come together because they share a passion for life. Thank You to everyone who made this happen. Here are the babies, now known as the Baseball 8 ~ diana

16 Dachshunds Found in a Hoarder’s Home

6/8/15 – We were happy to help our very good friends at A Hopeful Heart Animal Rescue with the medical bills for these poor animals being kept in a house of filth while the people attempted to sell them. Two puppies have already died of the Parvo Virus even though they were 4 months old. Had they been vaccinated as they should have been, they would still be alive. Once decompressed and healthy, these sweeties will be available for adoption through A Hopeful Heart. ~ diana

Kittens – Found in a Ditch – Now Safe and Loved

6/8/15 – Thank You, Kara, for not turning your back. It is a happy ending like this that makes all of the work worthwhile. ~ diana

“These babies were found abandoned in a ditch around 7 weeks old. Some of them had upper respiratory infections, I had to get them help so I got ahold of Four Paws One Heart. They helped me to get them to the vet for the help that they needed. 4 paws 1 heart helped with spaying and neutering, and vaccinations also. I’m so thankful for this rescue in helping me with these babies! They are all in great homes and are happy and healthy babies now! Thank you to 4 Paws 1 Heart ~ Kara”ditchbabiesw:karabailey6:7:15

Smokey Needs His Forever Home

Reaching out for help here. I have a cat named Smokey that needs to be rehomed or at best for now someone to foster him until he can be adopted. Smokey is 14 months old, an absolutely fabulous boy, neutered, UTD on shots and was front declawed, which broke my heart as he was orginally one of my babies from last year before I got involved with 4P1H. He is actually more like a dog, lol, trained to do tricks even. Long story short, His Daddy Ryan did not have him declawed, his girlfriend did and in the end the relationship ended. Ryan is moving to the West Coast for a new job which will keep him on the road for days at a time, and can only afford a flat. No room for Smokey and Ryan is broken hearted and reached out to me for help. Smokey needs a foster asap as Ryan is leaving by the 20th of this month. Here are some pics, if anyone has room for one fabulous kitty (I am overloaded here) please let me know. PS…he does well with children.

Sophia – Thrown Out of a Moving Truck on I-75, Michigan

6/6/15 – Meet Sophia and her new sibling Spot. Sophia was thrown out of a red truck on I-75 in Michigan. Fortunately for Sophia, a kind and observant young man saw the horrific action and rescued her. He then contacted a former teacher who contacted us. It just so happened that the teacher had recently rescued a cat from the street (Spot), so we offered to spay and neuter both cats as well las make sure they are healthy and vaccinated. I can’t grasp the level of cruelty it must take to throw a living creature out of a moving vehicle onto a highly-traveled highway. May the person/s who did that rot in hell – sooner than later. A huge thank you to the young man and to the teacher, Suki, who has decided to keep both Sophia and Spot. ~ dianasophia6:6:15sophiaw:sukivandermass6:4:15
