Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Saturday Morning, August 27, 2011

Gem Of The Day: No time for a gem today. Emergency rescue happening now.


Sara Pace went to the shelter near Chicago, expecting to bring home the five Bichons that I told you about yesterday.

Right now, in her car, she has SIXTEEN Bichons.

There were FOUR more Bichons than we expected, who were all scheduled to be euthanized. They all came in from different owners. They are all young.
One is only four months old!


ONE OF THE ADDITIONAL FOUR IS A MAMA AND SHE HAS SIX 2 WEEK OLD BICHON PUPPIES WHO WERE WET, COLD AND SHIVERING. THERE WERE SEVEN BABIES BUT ONE DIED AT THE SHELTER. HELP IS NEEDED!

Welcome! We hope you enjoy reading about the Bichons and the people who love them!

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

This is a special Saturday Edition of the Small Paws Rescue Newsletter.

This is urgent.

Sara Pace, our IN. and IL. Team Leader just called me.

This woman is a nurse in a neo-natal unit at a hospital.

She doesn't get rattled.

Normally.

She told me about an unbelievable rescue she is doing right now.

We need your support and help.

She went to the shelter expecting to pull FIVE more Bichons, which would have brought the number up to eight in her area over the past two days.

I told you about all eight of those, yesterday and we tried raising funds for them.

We needed around $5000.00 to vet all of those eight and one of them is heartworm positive, so that will cost a bit more.

At last count, we had raised "$2,090 at 9:00 PM for the 8 in kill shelters."

So we were already $3000.00 short.

That was before what happened this morning.

Sara went there expecting to bring home the five Bichons we told you about yesterday.

In her car, right now, she has SIXTEEN Bichons.

They all came in from different owners or were strays.

ONE OF THEM IS A MAMA AND SHE HAS SIX 2 WEEK OLD BICHON PUPPIES.

There were seven babies and one of then died at the shelter before we got there.

This morning, when Sara found them, the babies were wet and shivering.

I imagine they were probably cleaning the kennels at the shelter and they all got wet.

Becoming chilled can kill a tiny puppy like that!

Sara put her nursing skills to task and covered them with warm blankets and they are in the car with her now, with the heater on them.

THIS LADY KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BABIES!

There are FOUR additional adults, other than the ones we were planning for.

This means an additional $2500.00 in vet costs.

We need help.

It will costs $5500.00 more than we have right now just to vet these shelter Bichons.

We need foster homes IN THE CHICAGO area if at all possible to keep from having to pay airfare to fly them.

The babies will stay with their Mama, in foster care, (Sara already has a foster home for the Mom and babies) until they are 10 weeks old, at which time they will be placed in homes. Applicants who are grieving will move to the top of the list, and they can be located anywhere in the country.

My heart is beating pretty fast at this miraculous save and I know that yours are too.

ALL of these Bichons rescued today are young. There is one who is only four month old.

Help. We need your help.

The hurricane is coming down hard on many of our people, causing them to be otherwise occupied. (Well I reckon so!)

I'm here today staring at the screen and will issue matching challenges is any come in.

I don't know. I may be typing to no one this morning. I just don't know if anyone is even around.

We have this challenge from yesterday that hasn't been issued yet. This one if for $100.00 from Sandy. Thank you Sandy!

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.
