Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Thursday Night, September 3, 2015

Gem of the Day: If you wish, you can see the miracle that took place this afternoon, with the birth of the last puppy and he is ALIVE! If you are strong of tummy, as this is a live C-section, keep watching. It looks as if all is lost at first, but then they intubated him and the vet breathed for him into the small tube. Then Sara Pace bagged him for a while, still helping him to breathe, while she was talking to me. I asked Sara to put the phone up to him and I prayed for him, the staff, and for Sara who was assisting in the birth. That's the exact moment I heard his first little yelp over the phone. Then he did it again. He was breathing on his own. Prayer changes things!

We have two medical emergencies happening.

As well as the births today,
we took in an owner surrender in Michigan that has some of the most severe allergies the dermatologist has ever seem.


7 year old Janie has some of the worst allergies her dermatologist has ever seen. We had to spend $1567.18 on her yesterday as an emergency. $313.43 was the rescue discount, which was 20% off of the total.

HELP. It's a Holiday weekend.

This is her bill and we need help to pay it! This dog was suffering!

This is the report and discharge orders of a Board Certified Dermatologist.

We have the following matching donation challenges for these two true emergencies on this Labor Day Weekend of 2015.

First, from The Sunshine State of Florida, we have this challenge for $300.00 from Terri and Jon. Thank you both! Is there anyone who can match them?

Hi Robin & Louie,

I just received the most recent Small Paws newsletter.

Please issue a challenge for $300 to help with whoever needs it! Tuffy suffers from allergies and we hate it when he's miserable, however we're grateful his allergies are not anywhere close to the level that poor Michigan Bichon has!

Let me know if you need anything. Thank you! Jon, Terrie & Tuffy>

And also from Florida, we have this Matching Challenge from Jeanne Montross and her Bichon, Chipper, for $300.00. Thank you Jeanne!

Robin,

You obviously are not on vacation nor are the needy bichons. My garage door ER Izzie is still under treatment but is down to just taking the meloxicam. In fact I cut her dose in half as she lost 2 1/2 lbs which is fair amount for 13 lb. The vet said that it was the same leg she was operated on when she was 2. And now the questions have the existing pins moved and is that the problem that she is having post garage door assault. So I would like to issue a challenge for $300.00.

Chipper. Jeanne D.Montross>

And from Barbe Von Netzer in OKC, we have this challenge. Thanks, my Sister Friend.

Robin,

I would like to issue a $150.00 challenge for these poor pups. $50.00 for each dog. Please help folks. Even if you only have one bichon, $50.00. Thanks! Love Barbe>

And we have this challenge for 25.00 from Claire. Thank you Claire!

My small $25.00 challenge would be to all of those who want so much to help but feel that a small donation isn't enough.
Our small donations ARE enough and with 10 people, it totals $250.00.<

August really hit us hard. There are too many that we took in to even show you, without your eyes glazing over.

Owner surrenders were especial high this August.

Go on vacation, and dump the dog. Save on boarding that way, I guess.

The shelters in Texas have been especially busy too.

North and South Texas need foster homes.

Thanks to those of you who are still here.

All My Love, Robin

>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.
