Dear Small Pawsers,

Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have seen us on October 24, 2011 on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have recently read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness, 101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion and Joy , or you may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville.

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

If you missed our last newsletter, click here to read it.

We have seven new rescues in the Chicago area, recently rescued from euthanasia from area shelters.

We are calling them "The Shoppers" because they will be expensive.

The average cost to fully vet and quarantine a rescued Bichon in this area is for between $600.00-$800.00 each.

That will be costing around $6000.00 before it is all said and done.

And to start it all off, we have a lovely challenge from our own Small Paws Rescue Blanketeers, in honor of Maggie Duffy, one of our Blanketeers who recently passed away.

Hello, Robin,
-
The Blanketeers have come together to make a $500.00 donation in memory of our dear friend, Maggie Duffy, who recently passed away. We would also like to issue a matching challenge for this amount. Please use these funds to help any fluff that is in need.

Ok! Seven is a lot all at once! They need your help!

I give to you, the Shoppers!

Online Adoption Application



Tiffany
This is Tiffany. She is 9 lbs. of energy! She was surrendered (reason unknown and age not on paperwork). She is estimated at 10 months old. She had her exam and was found to be in perfect health. The doctor did not see a spay scar, so will need spay, vaccinations and quarantine for 10 days. She was HW negative. She also has a really cute under bite.
TIFANNY HAS A LOCAL FOSTER HOME!


Bloomingdale
This is Bloomingdale! He was examined by the vet today. He is estimated at 6 months old. His heartworm was negative. He is was a owner surrender (unknown reason). He is already neutered and has baby teeth, so NO dental needed. He will need a 10 day quarantine. He and Tiffany were romping around at the vet's office having a great time.
Bloomingdale has been ADOPTED!


Bergdorf
This is Bergdorf. He was turned into the shelter with 7 other dogs. We think "backyard breeder". He was scheduled to be euthanized because he was also scared to death in the shelter and deemed not adoptable. He is estimated at 2 yrs old. He was very scared but when we had him out of his crate in the exam room his little tail was wagging:) He will need a dental, neuter, vaccinations and quarantine. Heartworm was negative.
Bergdorf HAS A FOSTER HOME!



Sak's
This is Sak's Small Paws. He was a stray that was not reclaimed. He would have been euthanized because he was terrified at the shelter and felt not to be adoptable. He actually sat on Christy's lap and kissed her all the way to the animal hospital. He also did great with the other dogs in the exam room. He didn't even mind when Tiffany jumped on top of him and grabbed him by the ears:) He will need dental, neuter, vaccinations, and 10 day quarantine. He was HW negative.
Sak's HAS A FOSTER HOME!



Jimmy Choo
This is Jimmy Choo. Doc said he is 1-2 yrs old. He was rescued from another high kill shelter. He became Jimmy Choo Small Paws today. He is all puppy! The doctor estimated him at 1-1.5 yrs old. He will need to be neutered, vaccinated, HW and fecal test, plus 10 day quarantine. Jimmy, Chanel and Juicy all did great together.
Jimmy Choo HAS A FOSTER HOME!


Chanel and Juicy Couture, a bonded pair.
They are in need of a foster home near Chicago.
Volunteer Foster Application

From Sara Pace: I picked up these two girls from the shelter today. Chanel is on my right and Juicy is on my left. The doctor estimated Chanel at 1-2 yrs old and Juicy at around 1.5-2 yrs old. They are bonded.
Chanel is about 20 lbs and Juicy is 13 lbs. They both need spay, vaccinations and 10 day quarantine, plus HW and fecal test. They are both very sweet girls and shelter had them crated together when I picked them up.
We got a lot of kisses today!

So you can see that Sara Pace and her IL. Team has been busy!

These seven Bichons are all Bichons that were on the list for euthanasia had we not come for them.

That's why our work is so very important. It's work that we can't do without you!

And now, the Blanketeer's have this heartfelt challenge for $500.00.

Is there anyone who can put something towards that challenge for the Small Paws Rescue Shoppers?

All My Love, Robin

Subject: Re: Introducing "Pipper" Pressnall!

Congratulations Robin on your new addition to your family! They are all just as beautiful & precious as can be!

I have not been around much lately. I have been ill since 12-31-2011. I've been on several rounds of antibiotics. These doctors also put me on three different rounds of prednisone tapers. Being a steroid, prednisone
really messes up my blood sugar levels. It is only given out as a last resort for a diabetic. I have practically been living in bed for the last four
months.

I am very upset about this turn of events in my life. I would like to ask you if you could please put me on the prayer list of the Mighty Small Paws Warriors. I am alone & shut in here all by myself with my two babies,
Cassie & Roxy. (Roxy is a rescue from last November.)

Thank You for everything that you do for the little bichons everywhere.

Sincerely,
Dory Raymond

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.
