Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here

Wednesday Afternoon, August 29, 2018

This is the official invitation to The 20th Anniversary Small Paws Rescue Oklahoma Bash in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 19-20, 2018!
Postoak Lodge is now officially sold out for the weekend of our 20th Anniversary Bash, but there is a short waiting list in case of cancellations!



We have raised enough to pay vet bills for the three Bichons We have the three Bichons safely in custody!

And we just picked the first Bichon Mix up! Here he is on his freedom ride to the vet's office, today, thanks to you!


A1579207 SAFE!
Male stray approximately 2 years old.
We have just named him "Sammy"!


This is the one we still need about $1200.00 help with.

We have a new challenge for $300.00 from Mr. and Mrs. John Corcoran at jcorcp5@hotmail.com. Thank you both so much! I hope that someone can match you for "Yoda". (We don't even have him yet but he just looks like a Yoda to me.) We need to get him out. He is off stray hold TOMORROW and they need the space.

<Robin, Just spent $300.00 for meds on our 12 year old Bichon mix (rescue pup) and decided that these fluffs that need rescuing deserve at least a matching donation. Can someone match us?>

Crew is on the way to Dr. Skip now from the OKC Airport.

That's the news for now. Robin

I'm hoping that enough comes in today to get the two mixes out and pay their vet bills. We are about $1500.00 short as of this writing.

We have these two matching challenge donations for $100.00.

First, we have another challenge from Dawn Bove at d.bove@fcpmllc.com, for $100.00. Thank you again, Dawn! I'm praying someone can match your second challenge! This is a very generous challenge. Thank you!

Good Afternoon Robin: I will make another challenge for $100.00 for the newest little one. I will match anyone who matches my $100.00 challenge.

We have to raise enough for all of them. This is the reason why we signed up for this. We cannot abandon them.

As always sent with Love, Dawn>

<And from Carrie Rogers, our Team Leader to The Pacific Northwest, at auntcookierogers@hotmail.com, we have this challenge for $100.00. Thank you Carrie!

I will issue a challenge for $100.00 from me. We have to save the mixes too! Carrie>

That's where we are. Thank you all for your faithfulness and believing in us. we are giving it our all.

We have been so very blessed.

To whom much is given, much is required. Robin

Now there is ANOTHER ONE IN A SHELTER IN SOUTH TEXAS.

From: kcarter759@sbcglobal.net (kcarter759@sbcglobal.net)
Subject: A1579207 Small white male dog

They sent this just now to see if we would confirm. Male stray approximately 2 years old.



Hopefully he won't need a dental but his bill would be $908.00. He is Heartworm Negative.

We have a new matching donation challenge for $100.00 from Judy DeAngelis at jadeangelis@cox.net. Thank you Judy. Is there anyone who can match Judy?

Good Morning,

I will issue a challenge of $100.00 for the four beautiful fluffs. Thanks for working daily to save lives.

Judy DeAngelis>

We have raised enough to pay for the vetting for two of the four.

If we HAVE to leave anyone, it would have be the two mixes, the one above from today and this one, as he is not a pure Bichon. And I would be sick. They have both obviously known a Bichon in their family tree.

This is where we are. I will issue all matching donation challenges.

Please pray for funding to come in and for them to stop falling from the skies 'til we can all catch our breath.

All My Love, Robin

Time is of the essence. I'm planning to pull an all nighter for these four shelter Bichons to raise funds for their vetting.

We have a matching challenge for $500.00 from Dawn Bove at d.bove@fcpmllc.com. Thank you Dawn! I'm praying someone can match you! Robin

Good Evening Robin: when it rains it pours.
Please keep up the wonderful work you do.
I will make a challenge for $500.00.
Please let's all come together for these little babies.

That's it for now. All My Love, Robin

Gem of the Day: From Robin. I'm on overwhelm drive here. I don't know what else to do except to come and tell you. We have four Bichons needing to come in from shelters in both South Texas and Chicago. Please read as this is life and death information.


I've have been telling you all that vetting is running $600-800.00 per dog, including our rescue discount.

That evidently is out of date information if you have been watching our vet bills.

Vet costs have risen and it's being passed on to us.

WITHOUT a dental, one of our vets sent this estimate to us for two one year old males. The estimate is for $908.96 EACH and that is NOT including dentals because they are so young.

Our main vet in the Chicago area, Plainfield Animal Clinic told us it is averaging about $1200-1500.00 depending on what's wrong, PER DOG to vet and quarantine shelter Bichons.

We are down to under $100.00 in our bank account and FOUR more Bichons need to come in and they are not just a year old. They will need dentals.

We need to raise funds to be able to pay for them before we get them. I just feel this so strongly in my heart. We HAVE to be able to pay their vet bills.

You know that I don't ask unless there is a need.

It's still August and August just ate our lunch. There was no way to prepare for what happened this summer. More major medical issues than I can remember in 20 years.

These FOUR need to come into rescue in the next 24 hours. And we have a fifth below named Pippa. We will need a minimum of $6000.00 to save and vet them IF they are Heartworm negative.

These are the notices about the shelter Bichons needing Small Paws.

We also just picked up A-307143 from the Montgomery County Shelter in South Texas. We named her "Pippa" and she needs everything.

They are needing $6000.00 to save these five lives and pay their vet bills. Remember we always get a rescue discount. We don't work with vets who can't offer one.

They all deserve names and not just a number.

Our vet bills are costing us $1,202.90 every day across the country.

See Vet Bills Paid by Small Paws Rescue for the first 21 days of August, 2018 coming to $25,260.82 which is an average of $1.202.90 PER DAY

I don't want to ever have to leave someone there. They are short of space at these shelters. These dogs MUST get out of there.

I'm here and will issue matching challenges but time is short.

My goal is for Small Paws to get all four out and to vet Pippa.

Help. They need help. 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.
