Dear Small Pawsers,

Welcome to our newest members of our Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who have seen us on Fox and Friends in New York City, or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101."

Welcome! We hope you enjoy reading about the Bichons and the people who love them!


If you missed our last newsletter, here it is.

We've been busy of course!

We still need foster homes for a few Bichons who are in boarding in Texas and in MO.!

Several Bichons from the last newsletter have been adopted. Thank you!

We still need a foster home for a few more, including these.

One of them is Sally. (Sally the Bichon. Not Sally Anne Pressnall, the Kansas Highway Dog and attempted murderer of my groundhog, Gracie, but I digress. For anyone who is interested, I'm going to get another newsletter out after this one about the latest antics of Gracie the Groundhog!)


"Sally" Six Year Old Female

My name is Sally and I am a 6 year old girl coming in at 16 #'s. I was turned into the shelter by my owner. All my owner told the shelter was my age, good with kids and I had been spayed. I was picked up by a nice lady from Small Paws and boy was I a stinky/dirty mess. My hair was so matted and dirty so the vet had to cut most of my coat off but it is beginning to grow out so please excuse my hair cut. I am a very sweet girl, walk well on leash, HOUSETRAINED ( not a misprint) and I will sit. When I get comfortable with my surroundings then I am able to be at ease and play. Once my coat grows out I will be a very elegant girl. I am so ready to find my forever home and give and receive love.

Please apply to be a much needed foster home for Small Paws Rescue Inc.



Another little one needing either a forever home or a foster home is "Charlene". Charlene is finished with her quarantine near the St. Louis area.

Charlene is 4 years old and was surrendered to a kill shelter with another dog that was adopted. She is very sweet and fully vetted. She is fully recovered from her bladder stone surgery and needs a foster home. Charlene is shy but warms up quickly with her care giver. She is a lover girl! She is looking for someone to love and she should be adopted quickly.

One of our rescues is down in Florida. She now needs FHO surgery on her hip.

"Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) is a surgical procedure that removes the femoral head and neck from the femur. FHO surgery is performed to alleviate pain. It is a salvage procedure, reserved for condition where pain can not be alleviated in any other way. It is common in veterinary surgery. "

It's little Daisy. You may remember her because she had over 40 bladder stones that we have already removed.

This is a greatly reduced cost of $500.00.

Hi Robin, here is a quote from Jeannie Rothe’s vet in Sarasota Florida. It is the lowest quote I have received. Can we proceed or do funds need to be raised for Daisy?

Vickie-

I agree, based on these xrays, the right appears worse, and an FHO will be the surgery of choice to help Daisy. I will do it for $500. Does that work?

So we need your help.

We really don't ask for your help if we don't need it.

We've been able to get by thanks to so many who did so much over the Labor Day Weekend.

Thank you all for that!

But now, these Bichons are in need again.

After paying vet bills on Monday night, we had only enough reserve funds to last through yesterday at noon.


See Vet bills Paid By Small Paws Rescue For The First 26 days in September of 2011 totalling $29, 331, 32 which is an average of $1, 128.13 Per Day.

Now we need help!

We also had this pair come in from a shelter in TN.

To Lori Foster, out TN. Team Leader, THIS WAS A GREAT SAVE!! These babies were on the verge of being euthanized.


Eight year old bonded pair, Rocko and Daisey were in a kill shelter in TN.

In a message dated 9/23/2011 4:27:20 P.M. Central Daylight Time, ABichon@aol.com writes:

Robin:

Small Breed Rescue of TN let me know that there were two bichons at a TN shelter. I called the shelter and talked extensively to an officer and to a shelter groomer. Said that owner's husband died and she is moving and can't take the dogs with her so surrendered them to the shelter. She said that she has had them all her life, great with kids and cats and made a nice donation to the shelter.

Daisey is 8 yrs old, needs to lose wait, (not misspelled. spam blockers won't let us spell it correctly without flagging it) very friendly, had a tumor removed but not sent off, liver enzymes are elevated.

Rocko is 8 yrs old, needs to lose wait*, friendly, may have had a torn ACL a year or so ago and a vertebra compression in his neck last year.

Both have now been groomed and up to date on shots. Shelter groomer said there has been no interest in the dogs and they are a kill shelter and are full so they will be put down. Shelter director will be back in office on Tues and will decide who will be put down.

Shelter is near Knoxville(other side of state from us) so I will arrange to have a volunteer go to shelter on Tues and assess them and pull them for SPR. No fee charged for rescue groups.

Lori>

We need to get some funds in her to be able to authorize surgeries and treatments for these Bichons.

I will issue matching 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.
