Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 11, 2012, on Fox and Friends in New York City , or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness, 101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion and Joy . You also may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville!

If you missed our previous newsletter, here it is.

As you know, Sara Pace, our Il. and IN. Team Leader picked up five Bichons from a shelter near Chicago, yesterday.

It will cost about $600.00 to vet and quarantine each of them.

Here is a short video that Sara took at the vet's office with all of them.

And here they are safe in our custody.


April
3-4 year old female.



April Armani
Very Young Male


April Avalon
4 Year Old Male


April Apollo
6 year old male



April Anton

Under all his mats he is only 19 lbs! He is around 6-7 years old

All together, their vetting and quarantines will run around $3000.00.

We have a matching challenge for $200.00 from Janet Bartos in Arkansas. If someone can match her, that would almost vet one of these babies!

Date: 4/2/2013 4:58:55 P.M. Central Daylight Time
From: jpbartos@sbcglobal.net

Please issue a matching challenge from Minnie, Sadie & me for the precious 5 for $200.00. They deserve our help & a forever home!

Love the poem!!

Thanks for all you all do! Janet & girls>

We have them! Now we just need to be able to pay for their care.


All My Love, Robin

>When these folks applied to adopt, and we asked how their Bichon was killed by a car, this was their response. We hear this on an average of once a week.

(These are NOT Bichons adopted from Small Paws.)

PLEASE don't take a chance with the life of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to people who allow their dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small Paws Rescue

We had him for the last five years, He is very obedient normally when we say "stay" he will stop wherever he is, so some times we are used to play with him in the yard for he loves to run around the yard in circles, during that time we did not put him on the leash, this particular day he was not on leash and did not yield to the command when he saw some dog across the road. It took off so suddenly the on coming driver did not have time to stop the car. That is how it happened.>


Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
