Gem of the Day: "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal
likewise with their fellow men."

~Francis of Assisi ~


Nellie and Hubble are both nine years old. They are coming in from an owner who has lost her home in Harper's Ferry West Virginia. It's about an hour and twenty minutes outside of Washington DC. and about the same from Baltimore MD. We desperately need a foster home for them either within driving distance or we may be able to fly then to you for foster care. Foster help needed!

Subject: Matching challenge

Hey Louie:

It's not much, but in honor of the Jewish New Year, and honoring Life, I am issuing a matching challenge to as many SPR folks as possible for $18.00
The number 18 is a mystical number to Jews and stands for Life.

Thank you,

Bonnie Margolis with Gabriel and Molly
Stamford, CT.<


Maximillan is around 18 Months old.


Tina, is the other half of this darling bonded pair. She is heartworm positive and needs treatment.


Maximillan got very sick from ingesting the items below.


This is what was retrieved from Max's tummy in an emergency surgery.

It is costing us an average of $1285.07 per day just for our vet bills across the country.


Vet Bills Paid by Small Paws Rescue For The First 18 Days of September, 2012,
Totalling $23,131.17, An Average of $1,285.07 Per Day.

This is about the pair where there was a divorce and the owner has lost her home.

Both of these Bichons have not seen a vet in years. One has bladder stones and both have severe dental disease.

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.
