We have these new matching donations for little Magnolia's surgery which is scheduled for tomorrow, to be done by Dr. Skip Tangner D.V.M., M.S.,


"Magnolia" is only five years old. She could have many more years of giving and receiving love, if we can get her well. She has a suspected liver shunt as well as a diseased kidney that may need to be removed.

We have these new matching challenges for little Magnolia!

First, we have this matching challenge for $500.00 from Dr. Integlia! Is there anyone who is able to match this generous challenge for Magnolia?

Hi Robin,

Here is Poot-Poot in the foreground and Evie-SPR, behind her. Please issue a $500.00 donation for Magnolia's surgery with thanks to God for saving Bonnie, her family and home from those nasty fires in Oklahoma. Bonnie helped me in the adoption of Evie.

Dr Integlia and my two girls. >

And from Deb Smith, we have this matching challenge for $100.00!

We are hoping to save Magnolia's life with this surgery.

Lastly, have you or someone you know fostered or adopted a dog that was rescued from a hoarding situation?

If so, our friend, Dr. Frank, from Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah, is asking for your help for this study!

Some of you may remember participating in his study about dogs who had lived in puppy mills.

Hi Robin-

I hope all is well with you. We have finally got the questionnaire up and running for the study we're doing on formerly hoarded dogs. As I think I explained to you, it is the same type of study that we did on the former puppy mill breeding dogs. Below is the notice for seeking participants for the study, so any help you can offer in disseminating it would be most appreciated:

STUDY OF HOARDED DOGS

Best Friends Animal Society and the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine are conducting a large scale study of hoarded dogs. The study looks at the psychological and behavioral characteristics of dogs removed from a hoarding situation, which is a living environment where a person or persons accumulate animals in numbers that exceed the person’s abilities to provide for the basic needs of the animals, resulting in animal suffering.

If you are currently caring for a dog that was formerly living in a hoarding situation, we would greatly appreciate your participation in the study. Participation is a simple matter of filling out an online questionnaire, which takes approximately 15 minutes. The strictest confidence will be maintained.

Here is the link to the University of Pennsylvania website where the questionnaire is posted: http://vetapps.vet.upenn.edu/cbarq/bestfriends. The pin number for the study is 9093. [Special note: if after filling out the questionnaire you see a note such as “1st evaluation completed, there are 2 more,” please ignore it. Once you finish the questionnaire you are done.]

If you have any questions please feel free to email Dr. Frank McMillan at dr.frank@bestfriends.org.>

Ok, that's it for now. We will let you know how little Magnolia does! 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.
