Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Later Saturday Morning, August 27, 2011

Gem Of The Day: Still no time for a gem today. Emergency help needed!


This is the one we were told had been euthanized but when we checked again to be sure, he wasn't gone yet! We have him now! He is SAFE! All of the Bichons we rescued today are socialized and friendly!


The shelter miscounted! There are SEVEN not SIX babies and they appear to be five weeks old, not two weeks old, according to the shelter's intake papers!
The mama is a very young female, with white teeth, and very friendly!
She let them hold each of her babies!



This means that Sara Pace and Kathy Macpherson rescued SEVENTEEN Bichons today from a kill shelter! (The sound you hear is of me hyperventalating.)

We will always remember this rescue as they all came in with the Hurricane.
This makes this be one GOOD thing about this stormy day!

We desperately need your help!

Scroll down for the latest pictures of them at the vet's office!

Dear Small Pawsers,

Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who have seen us on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101."

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

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

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 before rescuing an additional four Bichons from the same kill shelter as well as SEVEN babies. The babies are FIVE weeks old, not two weeks. The shelter has had them for two weeks, but they were three weeks old when they came in, according to paperwork.

There are five boys and two little girls.

This means we rescued SEVENTEEN Bichons this morning, Lord help us!

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

We have this challenge for $250.00 if anyone can match it, Thank you Sherry!

Hi Robin - I'm issuing a $50 challenge in honor of little Moses, my SPR foster who died very suddenly and unexpectedly when a blood clot went to his lungs after heartworm treatment. Here's hoping that none of these newly found rescues is infected with heartworms. With all the hurricane rain on the east coast the mosquitoes will be right there, so everyone, please remember to give dogs the monthly preventative. When it comes to heartworms, an ounce of prevention is worth a TON of cure!

And from Sue Hodges in Southern California, we have this "Chapter Two" challenge for $100.00! Thank you Sue!

Hi there Robin,

With the numbers in Illinois increasing I cannot keep up with them but God Bless Sara and her team in the Midwest putting these fluffs in safe places. In loving memory of my sweet girl Lexi who was taken from us suddenly at the end of June due to Hemangiosarcoma, I would like to send a challenge of $100 as Lexi’s 13th Birthday would have been on 9/8/11. God Bless you Lexi I still miss you everyday!!

Robin, .the best gem of the day would be more people stepping up to the plate, I look at my four and my biggest concern is how to get them outside today to do their business, the rain has started, it will be a belly band day.
I digress, what is happening in Chicago is reprehensible, where is the humanity, oh, I forgot that falls on you and the rest of the team, I just want everyone to know that I love Sara Pace, her heart has no boundaries when it comes to all fluffs
or anything else -- she exemplifies humanity. Thank goodness for her husband Scott, what a giving and supportive husband. Please, I ask everyone especially, my fellow New Yorkers to give, I'm sure everyone is still on their computers checking the storm etc. we are so lucky that are pets are loved and safe, so many thanks to those who always step up to the plate. For those who are new or haven't, please if you can go out of your comfort zone and give, with that another $100.00 challenge to one and all. Deborah and Boris>

These are our latest pictures! Help! Help is all I know how to say here!

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.
