Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here

Wednesday Morning September 12, 2018

This is the official invitation to The 20th Anniversary Small Paws Rescue Oklahoma Bash in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 19-20, 2018!

Call NOW at 918-425-2112 and ask to be put on the very short waiting list for a room and the Small Paws Rate of $109.00 per night, including a a hot breakfast!)



Mara, age 4 and Lilly, age 6, are VERY bonded. As you can see, they are really clinging to each other. This rescue just broke my heart.

We were notified by a realtor in Las Vegas, Nevada, that two young female Bichons had been abandoned by their owner. The realtor had them groomed, but their coats were so matted that they had to be shaved.

The realtor was also going over to feed, water and let them outside as much as possible until arrangements were made to pick them up.


Here they are in the home of our Nevada Team Leader, Cheryl Wahl, who took them into emergency foster care. I see the sadness and hurt in their eyes.

They look like they are wondering why they were abandoned.. Why did they lose their Mom and their home? What did they do wrong?



Lilly has two "cherry eyes" which must be surgically repaired.

What is Cherry Eye?


Though it may look like more of a cosmetic condition than a medical one, the prolapsed lacrimal (tear) gland can become painful, irritated and inflamed and is at risk for dry eye, which is a life long condition and it's painful and expensive. We want to avoid that.

These are the estimates for vetting for Mara and Lilly. We are their only home, now. We are all they have, but each other.

The estimate for Lilly, including her cherry eye repair is for $864.37.

The estimate for Mara's vetting is for $574.37.


The total for the two comes to $1,438.74

We were already below zero after writing our checks to pay bills this week.

And then these two darling little girls came in.

Can I place a hold? His stray hold is up on the 14th."

And then, Sara told us that this absolutely precious little male Bichon Mix needs to be rescued by September 14, which is in two days, from the CACC shelter in Chicago.

They are having to euthanize due to a lack of space.
We can NOT let this baby go down.

He just looks like a "Beau" to me.

Yet, I can't approve his hold until we have funds to vet him. It's going to be from $1200-1500.00 for us to be able to save him.

Can you help us to save Winston's life and to give Lilly and Mara a home? All vetted. No more fear of abandonment, or pain?

All in all we need $2,938.37.

Just for these three.

Help is needed. I'm here and will issue all matching donation challenges. 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.
