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

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

These are the latest Ohio Bichons that we rescued last week from a small county shelter where a backyard breeder had taken several small breed dogs.

Remember, there were supposed to have been seven, but three of the seven turned out to be Maltese and went to another rescue group.

This is from Sharon King, one of our Ohio Team Leaders.

Thank you Sharon for getting these pictures for us at the vet's office, there!

And, thankfully, we do have local Ohio foster homes for these three girls and one boy!

Amos, Alexa, Alice and Alaina. They all seem nice. We won't know their approximate ages until next week.

Hi Robin,
I just got this link from a friend and would like to share it with this group of amazing people that have hearts for helping all these little bichons that cannot help themselves.

Now That's God!


Thank you for all that you have started and all that you do. I'd also like to offer a matching challenge for the Shelby and the new bichons that came in and I will match up to 8 people's donations of $30 each.

And we have this update about our little amputee, Shelby.

Shelby was in a GA. shelter with a broken leg that was broken some time ago.

He was dragging it on the pavement.


We got Shelby out of the shelter and to the vet where they told us that leg would have to be amputated.

It has been done now, and Connie Mitchell gives us this update.

Shelby is out of surgery and beginning to wake up. Dr. Amy said that he did very well even though we agreed that he lost everything on him that dangled. :) He is groggy due to large amounts of painkillers. Dr. Amy said I could call again tonight and in the morning to check on him. Of course, I just want to go out and hold him in my arms for two weeks but I am sure that he will have the entire staff wrapped around his little paw. He is a charmer!

I will keep you posted when I know anything.

Thanks so much for being there for all these wonderful little guys and girls. God sure knew what he was doing when he put you in charge of all his fluffs. But doesn't He always.

Love, ~C.

Thought you could use a little good news with all the sadness that has happened lately. Just talked to Shelby’s vet tech. He is doing great! Wonderful appetite this morning. Will not do his business in his cage, waits to be walked outside. Perfect recovery so far. They will call me if anything changes over the weekend and, of course, I will call for updates Monday morning.

I know that you are very busy so you will only hear from me if there are major changes in his condition. No news from me will indeed be good news.

I hope it’s not as hot out there as it is here. Just another day in, um, Paradise. I heard the other day that Satan called and he wants his weather back. Kisses from me, Sam, Baxter SPR and Charlie (formerly Neddie) SPR. I’m sure PD SPR sends her best greetings from Colleen’s house as well. I am sitting on the floor typing, surrounded by walls and walls of moving boxes that are waiting to be unpacked. Sam keeps dropping his ball on the keyboard so I guess he is trying to tell you something special, probably that he is a good Bichon boy who loves you, too, even though Small Paws didn’t rescue him. He is grateful for the seemingly endless string of brothers that you have sent his way.

All the best, C~

Shelby continues to do well. He spent some time with Dr. Amy in her office today “just hanging out.” I have a feeling he will be wearing a little white coat, a stethoscope and be seeing patients by the time his quarantine is over.

They said that we could come visit him but I am conflicted about that. He has been through so much and I don’t want to upset him if he thinks he might be able to leave and he can’t leave yet. He was not very happy with us when we left him last week although he went on down the hall with his vet tech, Cori, without being carried. If you have time to let me know your feelings about this I would welcome you input. I will go out to see him every day if you think that it is in his best interest.

So sorry to hear about Daisy. Praying.

Love from all to all of you.

So that's a day in the life of this magnificent obsession we call Small Paws Rescue.

All My Love, Robin

P.S. Dave Hagadorn said to tell you that the vet bills for this week would be ready this evening. He has to make some calls today, to get a couple of things on some of the bills clarified. Some of the bills from some of these vets are sometimes hard to interpret! Like they are in a completely different language, it seems!


See Vet Bills Paid by Small Paws Rescue in July of 2011 Totalling $31, 208.99 for the First Eighteen Days of July, which is an average of $1, 733.83 per day.

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.
