Gem of the Day: "When I go home, I play
with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed
animals, pretend like they're real dogs."
~Dakota Fanning, Child Actress ~
These are two precious dogs that we have
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
They are a bonded pair and can't be separated.
And yes, they are kid friendly!
Their mother is a Bichon and the reason we
know this is because Bonnie Ferguson and
I delivered them on January 4, 2008, at our
Tulsa vet clinic.
They just turned three years old. Their Mom
came into rescue already "in the family
way".
They looked like little Holstein cows by
the way they were marked, so we called them
"The Hosteins."
We believe the father was a Shih Tzu, which
is also a non-shedding breed.
They do not shed!
The family that adopted
them returned them
to us due to financial
changes in their
home.
They truly are darling
dogs and love everybody
and would love to
be with children,
as they
had children in their
first home. They
have
been together since
birth and must be
adopted
together.
Being a bonded pair the adoption fee is "Two
for One" ($150)

Please meet Lilo. Lilo the little girl and

Stitch is the little boy and he comes in
at about 19 #'s!

Six year old Angel had her bladder stones
and her spleen removed last week. Though
the surgeon said the mass on her spleen looked
"highly suspicious", pathology
reports came back clean. No cancer!
The bill for her surgery and post op care
was $3,124.35 and we were able to raise about
half of that.
Her foster Moms, Mary and Carol have issued
this challenge for $200.00 to help us to
pay the rest of her bill. This is in honor
of one of our Team Leaders, Carrie Rogers
who worked like a house afire ( southern
saying meaning she worked hard and long!)
to find the best price and an available surgeon
for this little one! Thank you Mary and Carol,
and thank you Carrie, for all you are doing
for our girl!

We have been bombarded
with Bichons coming
into rescue. Bichons
who were in danger of
being euthanized
at shelters. Bichons whose
owners have passed
away.
It is just overwhelming
at times.
Sara Pace has taken
11 into her Team in the
past 10 days. Each
was about to be euthanized
at a different shelter
in either IN. or IL.
Each comes with a
vet estimate of $500-600
dollars.
That's over $5000.00
just for these who
include
Miles, Teddy, Laurel,
Harley, Chiquita,
Dino,
Pebbles, Bam Bam,
Baxter and Sophie.
This is what Sara

I got a call from animal control in Chicago
that they were going
to euthanize a 4
yr
old bichon male.
I put the leash on,
his tail immediately
went up and out we
went!
As we were leaving his pavilion, they told
me they had 2 other white dogs that were
scheduled to be euthanized. The female approx.
7 yrs old was full bichon. The other was
a 9 yr old bichon/shih-tzu mix (a supposed
designer dog, a teddybear). I pulled all
three. We named them Dino, Pebbles and BamBam.

It's January, the slowest month for not-for-profits.
For us, the need
seems to be speeding
up.
Don Rorschach picked up two Bichons today
from the Arlington TX. shelter.
One of them has been
hit by a car. We
have
them both at Cityview
Vet in Fort Worth,
accessing his injuries.
We need your help
to be able to keep
taking
in these Bichons
in need.
Below is information about how you can help.
Thanks for supporting this effort. You are
all life savers! All My Love, Robin

Hi Robin,
I wanted to ask you to send a special prayer
request in your next letter, I don’t even
know how to say it.
My husbands ex-wife
(who I adore) has
battled
lymphoma for the
last year, and she
has fought
bravely and elegantly.
Today found out she
has an extremely
rare brain virus
called
PML, that basically
eats the white matter
of the brain, and
she has less than
6 months
to live. The diagnosing
doctor says he has
not seen a case of
it in 5 years, and
has
sent a sample to
5 doctors for confirmation
of his findings.
He says if you think
you
see a unicorn, better
ask someone else
if
they see it too.
I'm devastated and so is the entire family.

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.
