Gem of the Day: "Finding Your Purpose in Life"
By Robin Pressnall

(Jack Canfield's "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series is doing a story call out to it's previous authors on the subject of "Finding Your Purpose in Life."
I'm thinking of submitting this story and wanted you all to see it first. I wrote it a few years ago and recently updated it a bit. You can read it when you get a minute, if you like. You're all in there! Robin)~

We need a foster home for this darling very bonded pair who is currently in boarding in Iowa.

We have been paying boarding for them for over a month now and have GOT to find a foster home for them.

We can fly them to you if you can foster them.
If you can help, please contact Bonnie at bonnie@smallpawsrescue.org

Online Foster and Volunteer Application


Mabbi is a small girl, and is about 10 #'s. With her fine straight hair, she resembles a Maltese more than a Bichon. Mabbi (rhymes with Gabby) is a quiet, reserved girl. She is somewhat shy, but will happily sit in your lap in the car. She is very dependant on Chachi, her bonded mate. Mabbi is up to date on all shots and has had her teeth cleaned this year. She is 8 years old.


Chachi is 14 years old. He's extremely outgoing and lovable. He is very protective over Mabbi in that he stays by her side and is very mothering to her. He acts more like a 5 or 6 year old guy. He's very active.
He is up to date on all shots and just had a dental also.
Neither Mabbi or Chachi are barkers unless there's a stranger. They've been in boarding for a month now, and the vet clinic staff is amazed at how sweet and quiet they both are.

A MUST read, sent in by our Team Leader

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.
