8/6/23 – Orange showed up in a colony cared for by a kind woman. He showed signs of being ill and she took him into All About Animals to be examined and vetted. All About Animals was able to vaccinate and neuter him but also found that the cause of his emaciation was a severe case of stomatitis. He is scheduled for a total removal of his teeth on September 5 and in the meantime has received medication. – diana

8/6/23 – Then, later in the evening, I received a text about sweet Warren. He had been to hospital twice, most recently this past Tuesday when he had surgery at the emergency hospital for a prolapsed rectum. He hadn’t had a bowel movement and his rescuer and new mom and dad were concerned. Warren was brought into Advanced Animal Emergency last night where our dear friend, Dr. Maria, was on duty. Poor little Warren was severely impacted and the doctor was concerned that surgery would again be necessary. I approved whatever was needed for this sweet boy and this morning Warren was given the all clear. Dr. Maria was able to clear his bowels without surgery and he was ready to go at 7 am. I don’t know what we, our rescuers, and, importantly, our fur orphans would do without some of the amazing hospitals who work so closely with 4 Paws 1 Heart. – diana

8/6/23 – And it’s not over and I haven’t even gone through the dozen e mails requesting help that came through since yesterday morning. First, was Missy. She was attacked by a dog near the Make A Difference Animal Rescue Shelter. His wounds were deep and we were called in to help with an emergency visit. Unfortunately, we have had several serious cases in the past few weeks and we could only offer to help with a portion of the total vet bill. Missy was seen at an emergency hospital and received stitches and medication. Please contact makeadifferencerescue.com if you are interested in making one of these poor abandoned dogs a member of your family. – diana

Welcome Mama Callie to Orion Animal Hospital,
Yesterday we were contacted by 4 Paws 1 Heart about a very sweet cat who was thrown outside when her owners moved. Her rescuer, noticed she was pregnant and took her in. Within a few days (this past Sunday) she gave birth to 7 beautiful babies. Although, Callie was nursing her babies, her rescuer noticed that Callie was bleeding and appeared to be in distress. Her rescuer, contacted us and was told that Callie needed to be seen asap.
Callie was emaciated and would need a blood transfusion in order to safely have surgery. Dr. Zalac performed an exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the issue and found that Callie had a pyometra (infected uterus).
Everyone has already fallen in love with this good Mama and we are asking for your support to help fund Mama Callie and her babies. Please make a donation if possible and share her story. – ORION ANIMAL HOSPITAL

8/4/23 -It was this past May when we were contacted about this very sweet dog, Mr. Dog, who had been mistreated, unloved, neglected, and abandoned by his owners. The person who contacted us, Latoya, had been trying to get the dog surrendered to her for quite awhile and, finally, his abusive owners gave in. Mr. Dog’s’ guardian angel, brought him immediately to All About Animals for his first-ever exam and vetting. She covered those expenses but then learned that Mr. Dog had chronic dental disease which could be affecting his heart. We were thankful to help Mr. Dog have a second chance at life in a very loving home. Latoya reported this morning that Mr. Dog has adjusted very well to his new home and is actually house trained which his prior owners said they couldn’t do. Latoya said that Mr. Dog has “taken to her and her to him”. This is what a little love can do! – diana

8/4/23 – A stray female had kittens on a woman’s property and she was desperately looking for help to give them homes. Unfortunately, one little baby had a severe eye issue. Charlie was seen by a vet and it was determined that the eye would need to be removed. The woman reached out for help and another kind woman, who has been involved in rescue, stepped up to assist in raising funds. The kitten was not able to be scheduled for surgery at one of our partner veterinary clinics, so we offered to make a payment on the invoice equal to what we would pay if one of our partner veterinarians performed the surgery. Charlie’s surgery was done yesterday and he is doing well. – diana

8/2/23 – Yesterday we were contacted about a very sweet cat who was thrown outside when her owners moved. Her rescuer, Cynthia, noticed she was pregnant and took her in. Within a few days (this past Sunday) she gave birth to 7 beautiful babies. Although, Callie was nursing her babies, her rescuer noticed that Callie was bleeding and appeared to be in distress. Cynthia contacted Orion Animal Hospital and was told that Callie needed to be seen asap. We authorized Callie to be seen at Orion Animal Hospital and Dr. Zalac contacted me to discuss what would be required. Callie was emaciated and would need a blood transfusion in order to safely have surgery. That is scheduled for this morning and a healthy cat fostered by a staff member will be donating blood (hopefully the right type). Then the Dr. will perform exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the issue which is suspected to be a very infected uterus. Everyone has already fallen in love with this good Mama and I will get a report later and will report back on FB. Paws crossed. – diana

8/1/31 – Amber was contacted by her husband who said there was a stray kitten who almost got hit by a car running across the intersection of Warren and Conner in Detroit. The husband, at work, followed the cat who ran into a wheel well, and crawled under the car and was able to catch this frisky baby. We were contacted and asked for help. Warren needed to be fully vetted plus he appeared to have an upper respiratory infection. He was taken to a partner vet for the immediate needs and while there the rescuer pointed out a swelling in his ‘butt’ area. Warren was given his vaccines and tested. His neuter was to be scheduled at another hospital and the doctor said the “butt” was just swollen. Over the weekend the rescuer contacted us in an emergency — Warren’s rectum was totally prolapsing. The only option was emergency where he was taken on Sunday and had surgery that afternoon. Warren was released yesterday morning and the doctor told me that Warren came through the surgery well and was ready to go home. The last two photos are with Warren now safely at home with his new parents.
Without your donations and support, so many animals would never live to see another day or feel the love so many of us have for our pets. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. – diana
