Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 20, 2013, 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.

If you would like to share today's newsletter, this is the link!.

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!!

It's a wonderful time of year to be so very thankful for all of our blessings!

For me, it's a precious time for remembering the birth of Jesus, over 2000 years ago, yet He Lives even today!

The miracles we have seen in this rescue organization are now too numerous to mention, after 16 1/2 years!

Including being invited back each year to the largest cable news network, ox News, in NYC, to tell about our magnificent obsession, started back in 1998.

How does that happen?! I do not know! I only know that it's not me making it happen!

I believe with all of my heart that this organization is a God Thing and He has found favor with our mission. what a blessing it is to have this opportunity to tell millions about what we do here at Small Paws!

We will be on this Friday morning, between 8:30-9:00 Eastern Time.

Please pray that I don't trip on the wires taped to the floors, and that I don't say something stupid that I can't push back into my mouth! (Those of you who really know me, understand that this is a real possibility, yet, I digress.)

So, Bonnie Ferguson and I are leaving, (Airfare, Limo Service, and Boutique Hotel,) all courtesy of Fox and Friends, bright and early on Thursday morning.

They treat us like celebrities and each time, is just like the very first time!

You will not meet a more down to earth group of people, from the producers, hair and make up people, down to the talented crew who sit on the curvy couch, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.

They have all been just wonderful to us over the years and we thank them!


Also, many thanks to everyone who donated and prayed for little "Armani"!

The surgeon successfully removed the mass on his head, and it is benign!



His foster parents have adopted him! Here he is with his new Dad! He is expected to have a normal life after this!
! (Armani, not his Dad)

Thank you and thank God, this little boy is going to be ok!

Then, this morning in Florida, our Florida Team Leader, Vickie Inglee, (vette99@tampabay.rr.com) stopped what she was doing, (which was moving from her old home into a new one), and rescued this little girl, who desperately needs our help.

I always try to tell you that we will pick the most inopportune times to call you with an emergency.

Not just everyone can do this correctly.

It's an art we have perfected over the years.

We plan it years in advance.

We usually like to call you with an emergency on Christmas Eve, when you have 32 people in your home for dinner, and the flu.

Oh, and a nice ice storm always helps as well.

Thank you Vickie for going after this little one!

We have named her "Noel" and she needs your prayers.

Noel is five years old and came in as an owner surrender from people who could no longer afford her care. They also said they were allergic to her hair falling out.

Noel hadn't been to a vet in her entire five years until this happened.


The suspected diagnosis of her illness, made by the dermatologist this morning is CANINE PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS.


Noel's tummy is covered in pus filled sores.


Noel's ear flap is covered in crusty sores.


Noel's back.


Noel's hair is falling out in clumps, into her sweater. She truly does need out emergency care.

We spent $476.00 on her, just at the Dermatologist today.

Now, she is at Vickie's vet awaiting the biopsy results of these sores.

She also needs medication, a dental, quarantine, and vaccinations.

The estimate for everything she will need is for between $1000.00-1200.00.

The suspected cause of her illness, made by the dermatologist this morning is CANINE PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS.


Then, in Northern Texas, under the direction of our Team Leader, Susie Perez, susanna.perez@gmail.com, we have this precious girl.

We've named her "Glitter" for Christmas, because after we get done with her she is going to SPARKLE!! She is around 9 years old and was rescued from a shelter.












"Glitter"after shaving those mats off of her!

Those are just two that have come in.

It's December and funds are not coming in as usual.

These little ones don't know that, though.

We have one matching donation challenge, that didn't make it in last time. Thank you, Jeanne!

If someone can match her, that would be $600.00 for Bichons like Noel and Glitter.

Robin, Sounds like you sure have been busy and what happens when Sara Pace goes on vacation? And how are all of your kids? Mine continue to be funny and entertaining and are so much fun. Missy had a full recovery from her fall debacle and no signs of any long lasting problems. I on the other hand had a golf cart vs suv event, the cart is dead, thankfully I had seat belts on so I am not. But I have a messed up hand so will be doing the hunt and peck method with my computer, and of course I don't get to do all my play things. I have a crew of people to help me take the dogs out for exercise and a driver.

Anyway would like to make $300 matching challenge for you to use anyway you need to.

hugs, Jeanne>

I am here through tomorrow evening about six.

After that I am packing and getting myself to bed for an 0 dark thirty flight to the Big Apple.

Joanne Raus will be screening for emergencies.

I'm here now and will issue any matching donation challenges!

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.

Subject: Re: Small Paws Rescue

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.
