4/7 PM Update: TACO 🌮

Still guarded but he gave a positive sign last night and today by eating on his own. 🙏 Hopefully, his appetite is returning which will be so beneficial to his recovery.

We're very hopeful that he is improving but it's still crucial to monitor him because he is so sick.

🙌 Taco 🌮 Compassion Foster Found! 🙌

4/6 PM Update: Thank heavens, a kind soul stepped up to provide Taco with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for when he is discharged from the hospital.

He isn't out of the woods by any means, but his eyes were a little brighter today when Dianna visited him. You can be certain that he is not in pain or suffering. His body is very tired and weak from trying to fight all that he has going on, but he deserves a second chance.

It's a rollercoaster of hope, love, and fear. We're just being patient and trying to give him the best chance to have a life that he has most likely never known.

As soon as he is well enough to leave the hospital, he will be welcomed into his compassion Fosters home to get comfortable and receive a ton of TLC.

The goal is always to give these dogs the best possible chance. Thank you to everyone who is helping to give this very sweet guy a bright future.

Rescue isn’t about ego. It’s about doing what’s right for the animals. If things should take a turn for the worse, we would never let him suffer.

We are still in desperate need of donations to cover his expenses. We appreciate any help. 🫶

HB4P, Ahmimi! 💖 soon to be adopted after her spay. Her foster/adopt family love her!

Looking too cute in her raincoat poncho! 🌧️💓

4/7 Update: FOSTER FOUND!! 💓

📢 Miley Needs Help! Miley Is Looking For A Foster To Welcome Her. 📢

She has a SERIOUS bacterial skin infection and is suffering from SEVERE ear infections that need attention like yesterday!

Any Fosters out there in the Greenwood, Whiteland Franklin, Mooresville, Martinsville areas that would love to take care of this sweet girl?

She needs to be in one of those areas to be close to the rescue veterinarian, so she can receive medical care. Everything for her care will be covered by the rescue but we need a Foster to step forward so we can help her.

🐶 A little bit about Miley...
She is a 4 yr old, spayed, female, pure-bred, black Labrador who weighs around 75lbs.
She is a fantastic dog that does well with children, babies and other animals.
She is fully crate/potty trained.
She does well with basic commands, as well as a few party tricks.

We want to give her the much needed medical attention that she needs and deserves. And, then want her to go to a great, loving home as she is a very sweet and loving dog.

She needs someone who will be attentive to her care...baths, ear meds and occasional trips to the clinic.

❤️‍🩹 Miley has not been surrendered to a shelter. We are trying to rescue her, to help her before her condition gets way worse. Her ears and skin are very bad and can blow up and get even worse. The owner has had her to the vet, and the vet is the one that called us to see if we could possibly take her on, if she were surrendered. The owner has exhausted all avenues financially and cannot keep up with her care any longer. She just needs a foster that can take care of her, give her TLC and keep on top of her conditions until they have cleared up.

Please share her.

If you can Foster Miley, please complete a form as soon as possible, so we can get her started on a treatment plan ASAP!

4/6 Update: Compassion Foster Found 💕

4/5 Update: Taco 🌮 Update ~A Past Full Of Neglect

*DCM (Dialated Cardio myophathy)
*Severe heartworm disease
*CHV-1 Canine Herpes
*Severe respitory issues

He is such a sweet, big guy. He did not deserve any of this. None of them do.

One result of his lab test revealed that he tested positive for Canine Herpesvirus (CHV-1) infection. It can cause coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, eye inflammation, lesions on genitalia...Recently, he has had some scrotal swelling and bleeding. 🥺

With all he has going on, it's hard to really tell which signs are leading to what and which are causing what symptoms. The heartworms, the upper respiratory infection, the herpes virus, the DCM, more??? Poor guy hasn't had an appetite and who can blame him when he is feeling so lousy?

He remains hospitalized. He is resting as much as possible to keep his coughing calm and receiving a lot of supportive care. ❤️‍🩹

Please keep sending him love and positive thoughts. He can sure use them.

Thinking hospice Foster for this sweet boy.

Cheese Puff ❤️‍🩹 Update
(Captured FeLV stray kitty ~ still very much in need of help with placement.)

His eyes were one the worst entropion cases they'd seen. This is a painful condition where the eyelids/eyelashes are inverted so the lashes rub against the eye and continuously scratch the cornea. His eyelashes had completely rolled in and by the state of his eyes, he could've gone completely blind.

Good news though...Luckily, his surgery went very well last week! Thanks to everyone who wished him well.

He is still at the rescue, rocking his "cone" and recuperating. His eyes are swollen, he is on anti-viral meds, antibiotics and pain meds but comfortable, and resting as much as he can.

Despite all he's been through, he is truly one of the most lovable and sweetest cats ever. 😻 We really want him to find him the perfect, forever home and would love any assistance we could get to help him. 🙏

⚕️Important Note: Cheese Puff has tested and confirmed positive for FeLV, so he’s best suited to live as the only cat or with another FeLV-positive feline. This condition doesn’t affect humans or dogs.

📧 Please email [email protected], if you would like more info. about him.

ADOPT SWEET ROSA 🩷

Sharing perfect Rosa. 💗 She's just the right size. Well behaved and well-mannered. Intelligent - Knows sit, shake, lay down, back, outside. Has a great personality - she will adorably talk to you. 😍 Loves belly rubs. Is middle-aged, about 7yrs young. Housebroken. Lovable. Snuggable. Gently playful and easy going. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. ❤️ Rosa is being fostered in Indianapolis.

We're not sure how Rosa does with cats but think she'll do fine with a calm, doggy friend. Of course, introductions with any animals in the home is a must.

Due to a neglectful past, she has some arthritis of the spine that causes her stiffness and inflammation. 🥺 She is on anti-inflammatories and supplements to help ease any discomfort. X-rays also revealed that Rosa was shot by a BB gun at some point in her life and still has a pellet lodged in her body. 😱 Luckily, it doesn't cause her harm

She will make someone an awesome dog to love. There just has to be somebody out there that wants to love her forever.🥹

📚 Her backstory: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1624ZZwQuY/

Please complete an application to meet this adorable little lady! 💓

🌮 🐕 Addendum to Taco's health update from his Dr.:

Taco's ultrasound showed that he has changes consistent with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). This is a heart condition that causes the heart muscle to thin and stretch making it pump ineffectively. It can be an inherited disease or caused by poor nutrition. We know Taco wasn't having the best care, so at this time we are treating the DCM and getting him the nutrition he needs. We will do follow up ultrasounds on his heart to see if the condition is improving. If it doesn't improve with diet change, it is likely inherited and we will only be able to manage his symptoms. 🩺🥼

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

🪱 A heartworm was also visible in his heart on the ultrasound. 😱 APRIL IS HEARTWORM AWARENESS MONTH!

A PCR panel is used to identify infections before antibodies are detectable, which can be crucial for timely treatment. His panel was sent off to a Lab. Waiting for results, which can take time. ⏳

CHEESE PUFF 😿 Please send him blessings today. He was delivered to Johnson County Community Cats this morning to be neutered, receive a combination vaccine: FVRCP, get his Rabies vaccine, and will have surgery to repair his Entropion eye lid. 🙌 He is on antibiotics but his other eye started to swell recently. We'll update you on his progress when we receive a report from them later today. 🚨Still seeking placement or help with placement for him, please! 😿🙏 ⚕️Important Note: Cheese Puff has tested and confirmed positive for FeLV, so he’s best suited to live as the only cat or with another FeLV-positive feline. Rest assured, this condition doesn’t affect humans or dogs. He is very social and affectionate. His gentle, and loving personality will make someone the perfect companion. 😻 If you’re looking for a cuddle buddy and can provide a loving home for him or have the direction of a cat rescue that may be able to help with placing him, please reach out immediately. 📨 [email protected] The poor guy has been staying at the rescue, isolated in an indoor 2 tier cat enclosure, in a separate room all by himself. 😿 Heartbeat4paws is a small special-needs dog rescue but the Founder, has personal cats of her own and can't risk them getting sick. Please continue to share him. 🥹

💓 SANDERS 💓 His backstory (graphic content): https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16EdDRTv9y/

Anybody remember Sanders? 😁 Ha! Of course, you do! His mom went out of town for a few days and to say he missed her is an understatement! 😍 He is so loved and his joy is everything! 💓

🐾 It's $5 Friday and we could use some help. 🐾 Because of you, pups like Echo get a second chance.🩷🥺 💖 Look how much better she is doing already! She is really progressing nicely. 💓 If you recall Echo was struck by a car, abandoned at an ER clinic by her owners, then transferred to the Indy animal shelter where she sat waiting for a rescue to save her. She saw our vet and was then seen by a neurologist who determined that she suffered a brain injury. 🤕 She is getting a lot of much needed TLC while recovering at her foster home. 💝 After she is completely healed and fully vetted, we'll be accepting applications for this little cutie! Thank you, as always for helping the Heartbeat 4 Paws doggies. ❤️‍🩹 Echo' backstory: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19g4vXBazq/ Ways to help with their care: 🦴 Share 🦴 Donate button 🦴️ PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/Heartbeatforpaws 🦴️ Venmo: @heartbeat4paws (code 6265) 🦴️ Check: HB4P, PO Box 1096, Greenwood, IN 46142 🦴️ Call Franklin Animal Clinic directly at 317-736-9246.
