About 4 Paws 1 Heart
4 Paws 1 Heart is a 501c3 (non-profit) organization which funds medical treatment for abandoned, abused, and stray companion animals. The animals we help come through the doors of veterinaries, rescue organizations, and individual good Samaritans. Very often the rescue organizations, who we assist with medical bills, will take over the recovered animal and place him in his forever home. But, because of the overwhelming number of abandoned/stray cats and dogs, most rescue groups are full and cannot assist the many individuals who have taken it upon themselves to save an animal--most of whom are cats and kittens. Consequently, 4 Paws 1 Heart has decided to be the conduit for these individual rescuers who were assisted by 4 Paws 1 Heart with medical bills and provide them with a outlet which can promote the animals needing a forever home.
The animals on this page are either under the care of 4 Paws 1 Heart (who will be identified as such) or with individuals who have taken it upon themselves to find forever loving homes for animals they have rescued. All animals on this page received medical treatment (vaccinations, testing, vetting, spaying/neutering, etc.) funded by 4 Paws 1 Heart. 4 Paws 1 Heart takes no responsibility for any of the animals under the ownership of the individual rescuer and each rescuer makes the final decision as to adoption policies. It is always recommended that a donation (pay it forward) be made for any adoptions."

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
