Subject: My Mother's
day Challenge to
All
Team Leaders
In honor of Mother's
Day I would like
to
challenge all Team
Leaders to take a
look
at their family tree.
Since becoming team
leader for Florida
the
following have been
added to my family
tree
and I have become
Mother to all:
70 dogs that have
been rescued, fostered,
and now in forever
homes
3 dogs that we couldn't save and now at the
Bridge watching over us.
9 dogs transferred to other states.
7 dogs I have personally
adopted and became
mommy to (2 are now
at the bridge with
the
3 above)
128 truly wonderful,
marvelous, caring
volunteers
1 special lady that has blessed me by being
my co-team leader
total 218
I am donating $2
for each of the above
for
a total of $436.00
And I am going to
round it up for all
the
staff and support
team at SPR to make
it
and even $500.00
So look deep into
your heart and see
if your
family hasn't grown
since joining SPR
and
give to help all
that need it.

this beautiful, poetic
challenge from Deb
Snider in Norman, Oklahoma.
Deb will match up

00. Go, Sophie Rose! We are with you, always.
I come to you
Your little girl
I am Sophia Rose
The gracious one
Paw in Hand
Life has not been
All that a dog
Might dream
was lost
Or never came
Here I am
Survived this far
Please help me if
you can
I still have a way
to go
to health, and life,
again
My name means this
"Sophia"
is wise
And "Rose"
is of the flower
I'm just a simple,
little girl
But I so need your
power
To help me get well
again
And be the flower
I should
There is nothing
more I ask
than to feel safe,
and good.
Could you walk with
me?>
Thank you all so
much for the notes about
Sophia Rose. After
her heartworm treatment,
she should be ready
for adoption in about
two months.
All My Love, 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.
