3/29/23 – Gracie is doing amazing and will be going to her foster home today. I’m sure she will be so happy to get out of the hospital and into a home environment. Now, she just needs a forever home.

Her medical was extensive but she is a perfect example of what our purpose is as an organization. 4 paws 1 heart gives animals like Gracie a 2nd chance. Please consider donating today. Thank you from all of us on the board! Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

3/21/2025 I’m sorry it took so long to update. Turned out that Gracie was bleeding internally. The bleeding has stopped right now. My husband and I transported her from emergency back to Moore Veterinary Hospital where she will be very closely monitored. If there are any changes in her bleeding she will go back to emergency for Surgery. She has been through a lot and was kinda crabby at the Emergency, but when she saw hubby and I she was happy. We got her back to the clinic and she finally pooped, peed, ate a little, and took her meds like a champ. Thank you so much to everyone who has cared. Thank you Advanced Animal emergency for being there for her and for giving me peace of mind that she was in good hands.

I’m sorry it’s taken me long to update, but I’ve been overwhelmed between Gracie, and everything else.

If you want to donate here is our link, but please keep her in your prayers that she recovers on her own.

I’ll update again soon, but for now she is holding her own.

3/21/2025 12am update. Gracie is at Emergency. I went to check on her and give nighttime meds and she wasn’t acting right. Her gums were pale and there was swelling where her spay incision was with a decent amount of blood leaking.

I panicked so my husband and I rushed her to emergency. A few of my co workers met me up there, and the others were more than willing to help. The doctor saw a hematoma but didn’t see internal bleeding. They want to monitor her overnight and run some tests, x rays, and make sure she is ok. She was started on fluids and pain meds. A belly bandage was applied, brief ultrasound, and clotting tests.

Advanced Animal Emergency is my favorite ER hospital, and I take comfort knowing she is in the best hands with the doctors and staff there. I’m still very worried until I know she is going to be ok, so please keep her in your prayers tonight.

She’s been at our hospital for the last 4 weeks. We all love her. Gina

3/20/25. Gracie Update! She is resting comfortably after a really big day. Everything went well, thanks to our awesome surgeon, Doctor Hilton. Huge Thank you to the staff at Moore Veterinary Hospital for taking such good care, of Gracie!

Today, the spay was done and you could tell she has definitely had multiple litters.

Leg sutures were removed, but there is an opening that we are going to give more time to heal. A pierce through the tongue was noticed and an x ray of her tail was taken to make sure infection did not spread to the bone or require amputation from the bite wounds.

A very kind couple has offered to foster so that we can get Gracie out of the hospital and into a home environment. They have already gone above and beyond to provide any necessary items, that Gracie will need. My husband and I will bring her there on Saturday.

This has been a very long 4 weeks consisting of medical management, nursing care, dedication, surgeries, time, cost, sacrifice, and networking for placement. Miss Gracie and I are very tired, but the end goal is to get her healthy and into a home where she will never experience pain again. This is her chance to shine!

If you would like to help with some of the medical costs for Gracie and animals just like her that are found on the streets, here is our link because we could not do this without YOU!!!

Gina Thank you!!! https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

3/9/25 – Gracie Update. The culture of her leg wound came back with a variety of nasty bacteria. Another antibiotic was added in to her daily treatments, but as of today her incision is oozing, and it’s NOT supposed to be. She’s also painful on the leg despite regular pain meds and the bite wounds on her tail are not healing.

I am very worried and tomorrow we will be consulting with the surgeon for next steps. Not only is this bill adding up fast, but Gracie needs to heal so we can get her spay surgery and then work on finding the forever home that she deserves .

I want to thank Brenda, Natalie, Laura, Tracey, Ann, and the rest of the staff at Moore Veterinary Hospital for taking on some of the shifts to medicate and let Gracie out to poddie. Also, for giving love, donating food, helping with ice packs, Laser therapy, and making sure her bedding and belly are tended to at all times. I especially want to thank my husband Dave, for going with me to care for Gracie at the hospital almost every night for the last 3 weeks..

I’ll update once we talk to the doctor this week, but please keep her in your prayers. If you are interested in helping us help her here is the link. Thank you ♡ Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

2/27/25. HELP! Prayers needed! One of our biggest cases right now is this Rottie from last Monday that came in critical. We suspect she was used for breeding and dumped. She is currently in another surgery with Dr Hilton. He is an awesome surgeon! The inside of her rear leg formed lots of dead tissue from the attack which is why it was still draining and not healing.

This is surgery #2. She’s has been through so much and her bill is adding up real fast. If you can help us help her please donate.

WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTO.

I decided to name her GRACIE. She will also need a rescue group or foster home to recover. Basically, we really need your help with this girl who would have died if we hadn’t offered to help her. Also tomorrow is the last day of our match, so donations are doubled until tomorrow! Gina Thank you! https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
