Four the Love of Paws

Four the Love of Paws STANDING FOR ANIMALS THAT CAN NOT SPEAK AND STAND FOR THEIRSELVES Four the LOVE of PAWS was founded in 2010. easy to find them , Tougher to find new homes.

Living in a rural area of Nashville it was the place to dump unwanted dogs, So I started Picking them up and hoping to save them and find new homes. Through the city streets my dogs have been found running down busy roads, dump on side road like trash. Battered and Bruised, starved to their bones and hit by cars- These animals left feeling unwanted and unloved- It just became a mission. Saving

dogs and giving the best life ever has been very rewarding to say the least and breaking the bank for the little luxuries in life a person wants. But you know, I made a commitment to these animals when I stopped to coax them to my car- now some cam very willingly like finally someone stopped to get me:) and some were not so easy and a bit scary because I did not know their demeanor- But I tell you regardless If I stop I already made it a commitment to love them and give them a better life

I even stopped the entire intersection of Bell Road and Nolensville Road in my skirt and heels and climb under someone's car to save a kitten that no one and I MEAN NO ONE would stop for! but the funniest of the stories is Baby Puppy- this was a brown husky and walked very tall- One morning my husband and I was running through the neighborhood and out of no where came a husky with a collar and part of a leash. so we continued to run and he continued to follow right at our heels- it was cute and funny- we turned around so maybe he would go back to where he came from or hoped that someone would call his name- well long story short that dog ran all they way home with us LOL- so we put him in a kennel put up signs and no one called.... so Baby Puppy became ours for a few years- he was so funny and loved to run this 7 acres like it was paradise. We wound up giving Baby Puppy to a guy that my husband served with in Iraq and this dog is carried from this guys bed to the couch and fed his breakfast on the couch every morning- THIS WAS A HAPPY ENDING :)

For 8 years I have cared for over 30 dogs from the streets. Currently we have 18 dogs that live with us from Pit bulls to a little handicapped min pin to a RAT TERRORIST LOL Lil Chi Chi Britches :) :)

Every penny to care for these little ones has been 100% my expense out of pocket. Yearly vet visits for heartworms, rabies. Purchasing Kennels, fencing and finally enough money saved to fence in 7 acres of land. It is worth it,

Who in the world gets a singing audience every time you come home- well I do and it is the best ever!! Food alone cost out of pocked over $800 per month, not to mention the treats and toys. Yearly care from the Vet runs about $1800.00

the other expense or flea and heartworm medicine, shampoo, baby pools- Thank goodness I play tennis because we have lots of balls and are willing to donate to anyone else saving puppies:)

I am on a mutual journey with all the folks who rescue dogs, cats and wildlife to educate and find the forever loving homes for each and every lost or thrown away like garbage animals. We are going to start a go fund me account and I do hope that you will help us continue this journey if it is $1.00 per month you would like to donate or $25.00 you would like to donate every penny is a write off for you. God Bless our Animals! and May God Bless you!

Theodora “Gift from God”

I just received the call, The call I had been dreading since the moment we rescued her! It is never a good sign when the doctors call you after hours!

Everyone knows this feeling, the feeling when you know what is about to come out is BAD NEWS! The doctor said let me start with the good news, Dickens is doing amazing, I was thrilled and even smiled a little, then I paused and said, “What is the bad news”. She updated saying Theodora was holding on but struggling and that she determined some cause of what might have caused this .... I stopped her before she could continue and asked, what are her chances and she said she has made a little progress but she is in rough shape as we already knew !!!!

Some time went by and I saw their call and I answered and I just knew it was NOT the news I wanted to hear. It is as if you can hear it in the breathing! She said Patti I know you and DogRRR will always stand by your dogs and we did everything we could but we lost her. She died on her own, we do not feel she suffered as she still laid in the semi coma! I paused for a moment, that moment of silence felt like a life time went by....

I asked what happened, although I knew she just could not fight, her body was tired and she set herself free! She left this earth knowing nothing but pain, she left this life broken and failed by her family that had her since she was a puppy!

This could of been prevented if this family would of taken her to the vet and treated her for her illness, they failed to do that, they failed to provide her with the medical care that could of saved her life!

Her family carried her lifeless body in a crate to the shelter then they pulled her lifeless body out and said we would like her euthanized! They did not give her name just that she had not eaten for a few days! A few days !!!!! WTH SERIOUSLY she is a Skelton this took weeks to get this way if they truly loved her and cared for her they would of either taken her to the vet to be humanely euthanized or they would have had her treated.

After many test and research they believe she had Diabetes and it went untreated and this is the result of the neglect.

You can not turn a blind eye it is unacceptable, they failed her! Her family let her down!

Her body condition was zero, she was dirty as if she was laying in the dirt. He nails were super long and they needed cut, she has puncture wounds on her legs as if something had tried to attack her but she was to weak to fight back! I cannot even imagine the HELL she was in!

I can not imagine how she felt the last few days left outside in this cold weather, did she have cover to protect her from the rain and cold?🥶

Theodora this is NOT over I am making you a promise I will be your voice! DogRRR Nation will be your voice! We will fight for charges to be filed, you death with not be in vain! YOUR LIFE MATTERED! Your family failed you all they needed to do is take you to the vet and run a few tests and get the medical care you needed! They DID NOT! They choose to watch you disintegrate in front of their eyes!

I was asked by several people, “Do you think this will discourage others from bringing their pet into the shelter to get the care they need? Will they dump them in fear of charges? The people who do this to their animals do NOT follow the rescues pages or they would realize there is help!

DogRRR this is NOT over and We will need your help! I have emailed the investigator and the detective to investigate this case ! I will email everyday and I will flood the city with Theodora’s Story and her pictures!

There are some that feel if we do this it will stop others from bringing their animals in due to fear of charges! How will things change? How will Animal Cruelty stop if we continue to ignore the issues and turn a blind in hopes that it might change!

Thank you to DOGRRR NATION for donating, thank you for supporting Theodora and thank you for all of the kind words this is NOT over and we need your help!

This picture will be embedded into my brain forever! How is this acceptable?
DO NOT FORGET! She deserves JUSTICE!
