Foster home needed for Max!!

Maximillan is an 18-24 month old fluff that came to us as a stray. He was featured in the SPR newsletter because he needed surgery to remove old yucky stuff from his stomach that had been there a long time. We are not sure he was eating the yucky stuff because he was starving or if he just likes to eat “stuff”. He needs a foster home who can watch and observe which it is then we can place him properly. He is currently in Florida but we can fly him to you if you can foster Max!

Items are still needed for our upcoming Small Paws Rescue Holiday Auction which is set to start on November 2, 2012.

We have only 121 Items so far, and we need 300 in order to hold the auction!

Help! Auction items are needed! This auction raises about $12,000.00 for the Bichons!

Ok! We have some updates for you as well as news of some other Bichons we have rescued.

One of them is in Sara Pace's Team.

"Claire" has been attacked by a coyote.

Se was rescued during the attack, so we know that it was a coyote.

But first, we have updates on little "Remie", in the Dallas area, who was also attacked by something.

The vets believe it was either a pack of dogs or a coyote. :(

Thanks to all of you, we patched her up and she is now in foster care with SPR Volunteer, Molly Smith.


From Molly: "Remie and I stopped off at my Mom's on way home from vet. She acts like she has been here 100 times before! So calm, sweet, balanced."

I have a feeling that little Magnum Smith may be having a new sister named "Remie". Ha!

Then, we also rescued a little Bichon that was already named, "Claire" from the Chicago area.

Claire was taken to the shelter after a coyote attacked her and her owners could not afford medical care for her.

We do not yet know the extent of her vet bills.

She has three broken ribs, corneal ulcers, and bite wounds in her groin and neck areas. She was viciously attacked.

Good Morning,




Attached are photos of Claire our newest rescue at Small Paws.

Claire was viciously attacked by a coyote but thankfully survived. Claire is beginning to heal on the outside,but the wounds on the inside are still very painful. Claire was grabbed by the coyote in various areas of her body, her throat being the worst. The coyote grabbed her by the throat and shook her which not only resulted on severe bites and punctures but she now has corneal ulcers on her eyes and has torn ligament in her neck and upper spinal area.

When Dr Chestnut tried to look in her mouth, Claire cried in pain due to having to turn her neck. This prompted the vet to take X-rays to further investigate the damage. He found that Claire also has 3 broken ribs in addition to bite wounds in her groin and upper thigh.

Despite this tragic event, 3 year old Claire is the sweetest little girl I have ever met. She is very affectionate and wants nothing more then to be next to you and be held. I can't begin to think what emotional scars she feels, but her demeanor is such that you would never imagine what this little girl has gone through. The vet is giving her a good prognosis which will hopefully mean another happy ending to a horrible story.

Thanks, kathymac>

And, Miss Scarlett! We have babies!

You may remember "Tara", the little shelter Bichon who delivered three premature babies. Sadly, they all died.

We got her out of the shelter and found that she had six MORE babies inside of her and they were very much alive!

We have babies!

Baby what's we don't know, but their Mama is a Bichon!

They are all being fostered by Kathy MacPherson in IL. Thank you Kathy and Tom!

There are three boys and three girls.


Tara and her babies!

So that's the news for now! We have more coming in this week. I'll tell you about those in the next newsletter! 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.
