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 we have two new Small Paws Bichons, and both have lost an eye.



"Blinkie" is 5 yrs old and has 8-9 Bladder stones which must be removed.


"Jazz" is approximately 3 and weighs 13 lbs. He is Heartworm positive with an Upper Respiratory Infection.

It will run about $1500.00 just to vet and quarantine these two Bichons.

We have the following matching donation challenges! Is there anyone who can match one or more of them?

First, from out in the west Texas town of El Pasoooo..we have this challenge from Small Pawser, Deb Svedman! Thank you again Deb!

Good morning from sunny El Paso! In honor of the people of Boston (like our Louie), we are making a challenge of a Healing Marathon of $30 per donor to help these new rescues. A marathon is 26 miles, but Boston is better than that, so add $4 for an even $30. My gang of five dogs all had their walk this morning and decided it would be great for each of them to donate, so please charge my card for a total of $150. Let’s see how many more can help these dogs heal along with the city of Boston. Lace up those running shoes and exercise your wallet! Deborah>

And LIVE from Manhattan in NEW YORK CITY, from Deb Berger and her Celebrity Bichon, Boris, we have this challenge! Thank you Deb, again!

Robin:

Good Morning Robin! I want you to know that David and I love our Small Paws one-eyed wonder, (aka Shuffles,) now so named as Snuffs. She loves being a part of the pack, going for walks, and having a day at the doggy spa. She is filled with love, energy, and has so much curiosity about everything in her every day life!
Snuffs urged me to offer a Small Paws Challenge of 20 dollars (10 dollars for each dog, each eye) to support the vetting, fostering, and adoption of these new Small Paws Wide-Eyed Wonders!

May all of the love, kindness, and care that Small Paws provides shine brightly every day into every corner of darkness.

Good thoughts,
Audrey and Snuffs>

Thanks everyone for helping these two Bichons.

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.

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.
