And LIVE from Manhattan, in New York City, we have a matching challenge from Deborah Berger (normetski@aol.com) and her celebrity Bichon, Boris, (Boris is now quite used to being on National television.) for $100.00. Is there anyone who can match Deborah and Boris?

As you know, the Chicago Four alone will cost about $2000.00 to vet and that isn't counting poor little "left alone in a house for a week" Max, in Texas.

Here they are again with brief bios.

Vetting Estimate $600.00

Leila is a sweetie!
Leila is 2 yrs old and 23 lbs. This is Leila. Sorry the pic is blurry. Leila was very excited and hard to photograph! She is a 2 year old bichon-havaneese mix (that is what the vet thinks). Leila was do to be put to sleep. She is now safe and sound, thanks to Small Paws Rescue! Leila weighs 23 lbs and is in desperate need of grooming. She is very lovable and loves to play!! She does good with other dogs and has a very peppy, puppy personality.
Leila will need a foster home in 16 days. She will be spayed and vaccinated this wk. Her time was also up! She will be a beautiful girl once shaved and her hair grows back. She has a small hernia, that the vet
will repair when they do her spay. She will also need 16 day quarantine,dental and vaccinations.

Allie's Vetting estimate $300.00.

Alicia Rose is a 2 yr old, puppy mill dog rescued from high kill shelter. She is already neutered and vaccinated (they did it for me, for picking her up)..this shelter will do this for me, if we take them (very nice people). She only needs a dental and boarding, so will be around $350.

And then, last night, we got this.

Subject: Fw: Bichon from another shelter.
Date: 4/7/2011 8:19:10 P.M. Central Daylight Time
From: pacess4@att.net

I just got this email. We have another one that will be coming into rescue. There is an intake facility in Chicago (not a good area). The dogs that are taken there either go into rescue or are euthanized. They are not a shelter that does adoptions. The coordinator that called me to see if I would take him. I told her I would get him Saturday. He is safe now that he is coming to us. She told me he is a surrender that was dumped because the family is moving and not taking him with them. He is 6 yrs old and neutered. Not sure if he is up to date with vaccinations. She will do his rabies and distemper for me, for taking him. He will need a dental and to be quarantined. His name is Tobias (Toby). Estimate for vetting will be $350-400.00

Sara<

This is Max, an eight year old male near Houston TX. whose 85 year old owner is dying.

His son left Max alone in the father's house, for a week, before other family members went to check on him.

Max is so traumatized he screams every few seconds if someone isn't with him.

They told us they were considering euthanizing him if we didn't take him.

The family says they don't think this boy has ever been to see a vet and the father groomed him, so he never went to a groomer either. The two were never apart.

I imagine his vet bill is going to be on up there and his little mind is going to need help to heal.

Ok. these are our matching donation challenges. Is there anyone out there who can match one of them for these four precious Bichons and one Bichon Frise/Havanese mix?

We thank you in advance for coming to their aid!

All My Love, Robin

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.
