Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Thursday October 13, 2011

Gem Of The Day: "Let's be grateful for those who give us happiness; they are the charming gardeners who make our soul bloom."

~ Marcel Proust~


Who can forget the day that we rescued this 2 year old Mama Bichon and her SEVEN tiny babies from a kill shelter in Chicago? They were cold and wet and one of the babies had already died.

They rest of them including the Mama, were on the list to be euthanized!

Sara Pace and Kathy McPherson found a shelter volunteer-veterinarian to help to scooped them up, run out the door and ask questions later.



A HUGE "THANK YOU" to Tom and Kathy MacPherson in IL. for fostering "Carly" and her SEVEN babies for the past six weeks! The babies are now 10 weeks old and all but one little male puppy have been adopted.
(If you are interested in him, tell us now!)

All of the other babies will be going to their new homes in a couple of days, to people who are grieving the loss of a pet or a person in their lives.

The Mama, Carly, is sitting on the stool in front.

Kathy wanted to have one last picture of them all together with their "first"
Mom and Dad".

We can never thank you two enough for taking on this labor of love, Kathy and Tom! Thank you!! You have made a difference in the lives of many for so many years by taking on this huge obligation.

Thank you Kathy and Tom!

If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

We have a case of suspected torture to a Bichon from a human being.

He needs your help and we need your help to be able to get him healthy.

"Remmy" is in Sacramento, California.

He's probably going to make it, so it's ok to look, but the vet thinks he was a victim of torture.

He was found in a park by a good Samaritan, who contacted us.

I have instructed our Team Leader to file a police report in case there are other instances of this kind of thing happening around there.


Remmy was knock-knock-knocking at heaven's door. This is when he was first brought to us by the good Samaritan. At first it just looks like a bad case of neglect. Oh contraire'.


Remmy after being shaved. You can see his wounds. Look at his left shoulder. It is swollen with what appear to be stab wounds. The vets say this is not an animal attack, or a hit by car. They feel it was a case of torture.


Remmy's wounds.
Our Team Leader to the Pacific Northwest, Carrie Rogers, (auntcookierogers@hotmail.com) said "One of the wounds went all the way through They think something went in one side and out the other side and ripped open.OWWW!!

Despite all that he is a sweety!"



Remmy in his cone. He is still in a lot of pain but we are doing everything that we can for him. While he did have several embedded foxtails, these were not the cause of these particular wounds. His nails were also cut off to the skin and bleeding. :(

Folks, I can't tell you yet what this is going to cost yet to save Remmy. I can tell you we have spent around $500.00 just to get him to this point and he is still very injured and infected.

He needs your help.

This is an expensive part of the country for vet bills.

It's costing us on an average of $1200.00- $1600.00 per day, just for our vet bills. See below.


This is how you can help little Remmy and I will issue all matching donation challenges.

All My Love, Robin

Dear Angel Auntie Robin,

Our little girl, Bijou, who Sandy Sowell brought home to us in 2002, will be going to the Bridge tomorrow.

Bijou stopped eating over the weekend and just wasn't her normal self. Test results showed super elevated liver enzymes and the x-ray showed she has a 4 inch tumor coming off her liver.

She won't even eat ice cream today.

Bijou is truly her Daddy's Girl, and Jack is devoted to her. Jack has never lost a dog that was "his" before, so this is hitting him especially hard. We know Bijou is going straight to heaven, but please pray for us, especially for Jack.

I know sometime in the future, you will have a little heart healer for us.

Love, Susan

(God loves you more than anyone else ever has,
and more than anyone else ever will!)

Hear the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir sing "So You Would Know."

Will God let us have our beloved pet's in heaven?

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.
