Gem of the Day: "Life is like a diamond in the rough, every
cut or break only reveals more of the beauty
and brilliance we all have waiting to expose."
Six year old Sophie came into us last night
as an owner surrender. Her former owner could
no longer afford her care. She has a torn
ACL, horrendous teeth, two large bladder
stones and a bad knee.
It's going to take $4500.00 to get her ready
for adoption, and that's with our 25% rescue
discount. Help is needed. We have matching
challenges below for little Sophie.

Last night we took in a diamond in the rough,
named Sophie.
Six year old Sophie
came into us last
night
as an owner surrender.
Her former owner
could
no longer afford
her care. She has
a torn
ACL, horrendous teeth,
two large bladder
stones and a bad
knee.
It's going to take $4500.00 just to get her
ready for adoption, and that's with our 25%
rescue discount. Help is needed. We have
matching challenges below for little little
Sophie.
This is what her owner surrender form said.
<Name of Bichon/BichonMix
in need of rescue::
Sophie
Is this dog a Bichon
or Bichon Mix?: Yes
Dog's age:: 6
Sex of dog:: Female
How much does this
dog weigh?: 10-12
lbs
Where did you originally
get this Bichon?:
From my grandmother,
who purchased her
in
North Carolina
Has this dog been
Spayed or Neutered?:
Yes
Can you tell us why
this dogs needs to
be
rehomed?: We adore
our dog Sophie but,
she
has cost us more
than we can spend.
We originally
got her at age 1
from my grandmother
who
was moved to assisted
living and unable
to
care for her. She
recently had a torn
acl
that we could not
afford to pay for
the surgery
and a hip that pops
out of place sometimes,
and a both knee caps.
4 weeks ago she was
leaving large blood
and urine puddles
in
our house so I took
her to the vet. She
has
had a history of
urinary tract infections,
but now she has two
large stones in her
bladder
that need to be surgically
removed. She is
currently on pain
meds and we tried
adding
a mineral to her
food to hopefully
dissolve
the stones with no
luck. We are not
financially
able to care for
her health needs.
The doctor
said she would continue
to be in pain until
the surgery is done.
We do not want to
have
to put her to sleep
because we can't
afford
what she needs and
my sister who fosters
many dogs, told me
about this website
and
that you can find
her a foster home
and potentially
care for her medical
needs.
Housetrained?: yes,
but since the bladder
stones, she goes
wherever.
Has this dog ever
bitten?: no
Is this Bichon good
with children?: extremely,
loves to cuddle.>

Carolinas, LA., and
GA., Kathryn Smith,

Hello Robin: I would
like to make a challenge
for $150.00 to help
pay for precious
Cloud's
medical bills. There
is another fur baby

I still miss him
everyday.

Is there anyone to match Dawn? Thank you
so much Dawn.
Thank you all for your kind words, and prayers
for Dale and I,
We appreciate your
caring for us, so very
much.
This Sunday, we will

What a lovely man
I married.
All My Love, Robin

Prayer Requests and
Reports
Subject: Please keep
praying! Robin Faith
is a very sick little
girl

Time
From: living_floor_mops@yahoo.com
Hi Robin! Sorry not to update before now.
Robin Faith is now hospitalized at my regular
vet clinic but will be transferred to the
emergency vet after hours for overnight care,
and then transferred back in the morning.
There is no telling at this point how long
she will have to be hospitalized.
She is suffering
from another bout
of pancreatitis
but this time complicated
by a blood sugar
spike to over 700
and suspected cholangiohepatitis.
Robin Faith has never
before been diabetic
or had difficulties
with her blood sugar,
and she may or may
not continue to be
diabetic
after this episode.
And her white blood
count
is over 4,000. So
they've got her on
IV antibiotics
and are gradually
administering insulin
to
get her blood sugar
down.
At this point her
prognosis is 60/40.
A lot
will depend on their
ability to get her
blood
sugar regulated.
John will be with
her this evening
for her
transfer to the emergency
clinic and I will
go see her when I
get off at 9:30.
Thank you for your
ongoing concern and
prayers.
It means a lot to
me!
Love,
Bekye

>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.
