Gem of the Day: "When friends or family don't understand the depth of pain we feel when we lose one of our beloved dogs, we should feel pity for them.
After all, they weren't one of the few who was chosen, one of the few who was blessed to experience that very special kind of love.
A love that for which we will always have immense gratitude."
~ Robin Pressnall~

14 years ago yesterday, a day that would come to change the entire direction of my life.our precious Nicholas was diagnosed with Canine Lymphoma.

We have raised under $300.00 so far.

We need to raise $3500.00 to pay for the vet bills of Robbie, Finnegan, Mia and Smudge. That's where we are so far.

Mia Small Paws was hit by a car and left in a crate at a kill shelter where she sat for four days without pain meds. Estimate for vetting is $500-600.


Robbie Small Paws 2-3 years old rescued from a high kill shelter. Estimate for vetting is $500.00. Very sweet boy.


Finnegan and Sara. 1.5 years old. Very tall, Vet Estimate is for $500.00.


Smudge when we first rescued him from the shelter.
He could not walk, his hips were so bad, and he was in pain.


Smudge after his first hip surgery. He felt so much better.
His second FHO surgery was done yesterday. $1800.00 - 20% rescue discount.

We have the following matching donation challenges for Sara's Saves, Robbie, Finnegan, Mia and Smudge, needing vetting in Sara Paces Team in IN and IL.

Many thanks to those who have made challenges and to those who are able to answer them in order to help these little ones!

Matching challenge of $50.00 per dog and even if you can only give $50 please do so. I can't imagine how stressful it is to see these poor dogs under these awful circumstances let alone have to raise money endlessly to take care of them. Please help Robin and Sara folks. We have the easy part, opening up our wallets. They deal with the hard parts, 24 hours a day. Since I have 3, my total is $150. Good luck Robin and let's rally folks. Thanks, Barbe Von Netzer>

And from Jim in Iowa we have this challenge for $100.00. If someone can match Jim's challenge that will put us $200.00 closer to being able to pay the vet bills for Sara's Saves. Thank you Jim!

Please issue a $100 challenge for Smudge and company. Continue pulling miracles and hopefully we've got your back. Decided that I would try for a $100 a month and right now I'm on target. So keep up the good work and count on us to help.

When my challenge is met, charge my card. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you.

Ok, I am here staring at the laptop, praying for funds and other matching donation challenges for Sara's Saves! 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.
