Dear Small Pawsers,

Welcome to a special Saturday Edition of the Small Paws® Rescue Online Newsletter,

If you missed our last newsletter,
click here to read it.

We are still dealing with a medical emergency, happening down in Northern Texas.

Remington ("Remie") was found as a stray in Fort Worth and she was attacked by another dog.

I've just spoken with the emergency vet, and our Remie is definitely not out of the woods yet. Please pray.

She wanted permission to do some extensive blood work to check her proteins and to make sure she hasn't turned septic on us.

They are really concerned about her wounds.

The good news is that she looks brighter in her eyes and she does respond to baby talk. They said she seems to know her name!


Remie has severe wounds on her shoulder, and chest. These were the pics taken when we first got her to the vet, yesterday.


I can't even imagine what this feels like.


It's a miracle that she survived this vicious attack. I'm halfway wondering if a coyote may have gotten her and something may have distracted it, allowing her to escape. It could have been a large dog. Either way this was a vicious attack.

She is receiving 24 hour emergency care at the The Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas.


They sent these pictures of her this morning.


They will know more in a couple of hours when they get her blood work back, about if she has turned septic or not. They are treating her with strong antibiotics and pain meds.

We have some amazing matching challenges this morning!

First, from Byron Byrne, we have this generous challenge that he will match up to $2000.00 for little Remie! Thank you Byron, so very much!

I will match all other challenges up to the total cost of Remie's needs up to 2000.00 (my share). It's been a while since I have given to this GREAT CHARITY but this little one got me off my butt. THIS CONTRIBUTION IS IN MEMORY OF "SHADOW" (6/28/92-5/29/02) who was not a bichon but a toy poodle. I found Small Paws Rescue while looking for a tombstone for shadow after his death from lymphoma. I still miss him.
Thanks,
Byron>

Then we have a second generous challenge for $1000.00 from Mike Bush in North Texas! Thank you Mike, again!

Robin,

I'll match Sue's challenge and also match any amount up to $1000 for Remie.
That little girl is in my neck of the woods and I want her to have a chance at a
forever.home.

Mike Bush>

And from Karen Scott in TN., we have this matching challenge for $100.00. Thank you Karen! Is there anyone who can match her?!

Please continue to pray for our little girl. 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.
