Please join us in praying for the families affected by the horrible tornado yesterday in Moore, Ok. This is about 112 miles southwest of us here in Tulsa, OK. We are all ok. I can't answer everyone individually but please know that we do appreciate your concern and prayers for our state during this sad and difficult time. Bonnie and I are on standby to go and help if we are needed by the Animal Welfare Division of Oklahoma City. We are in contact with the Director, who has had crews on sight from the beginning, searching for lost pets. Please pray for all involved. This is beyond devastating. The good news is that as of now, the death toll has been lowered from 51 down to 24 which in itself is a miracle.

Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 11, 2012, on Fox and Friends in New York City , or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness, 101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion and Joy . You also may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville!

If you missed our previous newsletter, here it is.

We are all devastated at effects of the tornado that came to Oklahoma, yesterday.

Please pray. We are expecting more of the same for this afternoon and for tomorrow afternoon. We are in an odd pattern of deadly tornadic activity in the afternoons.

Sara Pace, our Team Leader to IL., IN., IA., and MN., is at a local shelter near Chicago, right now.

She is asking permission to bring in five new lives as well as a sixth, who has been hit by a car.

So far we are up to needing about $5000.00 to vet these six as one has been hit by a car and has a broken leg.

It will be an average of $600.00 each to vet these five and that doesn't include surgery for the one who has been hit by a car.


Meet "Cooper" who was hit by a car. His tarsal ligament on his lack leg is ruptured. He is only two years old.


Cooper is scheduled to see the orthopedic surgeon but even with a discount we are probably looking at around $2000.00 to save his leg.


This little guy was found as a stray and the police told us that his owner said they don't want him back. :( We are coming for him.


This is a young female at the shelter where Sara is pulling right now.


This is a 6-7 year old male at the shelter where Sara is pulling now.


This is an adult male at the shelter where Sara is pulling now. Please forgive the bad picture. It was taken by a shelter worker with her phone on the run.

There are one to two more. They didn't send pics yet. It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get until you have them in your hand.

We do not have funds to vet these newest lives, our newest Small Paws Bichons.

We need your help.

I'm here for now and will issue all matching donation challenges.

If I'm called to OKC I will let you all know before I go.

We are all just heart broken for Oklahoma. All My Love, Robin

Dear Auntie Robin,

We would ask for prayers for our sister, Ellie (a Small Paws rescue) she has a serious growth on her shoulder
that may be cancer. Mom is getting help for her but some prayers would sure be nice. Ellie just had her 12th birthday last week.

Thank you Auntie Robin and everyone in Small Paws.
Sissie, Ellie, Ty, Savannah & Gio

and more than anyone else ever will!)

>When these folks applied to adopt, and we asked how their Bichon was killed by a car, this was their response. We hear this on an average of once a week.

(These are NOT Bichons adopted from Small Paws.)

PLEASE don't take a chance with the life of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to people who allow their dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small Paws Rescue

We had him for the last five years, He is very obedient normally when we say "stay" he will stop wherever he is, so some times we are used to play with him in the yard for he loves to run around the yard in circles, during that time we did not put him on the leash, this particular day he was not on leash and did not yield to the command when he saw some dog across the road. It took off so suddenly the on coming driver did not have time to stop the car. That is how it happened.>


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.
