Gem of the Day: "The world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it."

~ Helen Keller ~


Four year old "Brinkley" came into rescue this afternoon, in South Texas, as a medical emergency. He has eaten something he should not have eaten. They believe it was a sponge. His former owners waited six days for it to pass and their veterinarian told them that it is now critical and he needs surgery now, or he will die. Sadly, they couldn't afford the surgery and they have surrendered him to Small Paws. Please pray it isn't too late. Our South Texas Team Leader, Sindy Parsons, (sindy@sindyparsons.com) picked him up and rushed him to the hospital. Details below. Help is needed to save his life.

Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 20, 2013, on Fox and Friends in New York City , or on Animal Planet on "Dogs 101.", or you may have read about us in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness, 101 Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion and Joy . You also may have seen us on "Inside Edition" with Deborah Norville!

If you missed our previous newsletter, here it is.

Sindy Parsons, (sindy@sindyparsons.com) our South Texas Team Leader, picked little Brinkley up and has rushed him to:

Cole Veterinary Hospital
2757 Rayford Road Ste A
Spring, Texas 77386
281.465.0880


Click here to see a short movie of Brinkley at the hospital.

His kidneys are trying to shut down and they are trying to rehydrate him overnight before they put him under anesthesia, so he can have surgery in the morning to remove this foreign body from his intestines before they perforate.

This is more about this particular kind of surgery.

The estimate for all of his blood work, x-rays, further testing and the surgery is for between $2500.00-$3000.00. HELP IS NEEDED.

I am here and will issue all matching donation challenges for little Brinkley.

We need to raise funds for this surgery. As you know, January is slow following the Holidays. Help is needed.

All My Love, Robin

To all the SPR Ebay customers and to all who have donated items, I want to say a big “Thank-you!” After many years of running SPR Ebay, I am retiring from that position. I am not retiring from SPR however and will continue to support the great efforts of all involved in this wonderful organization.

I sincerely hope someone will step in and take over SPR Ebay. I spent about 12 hours a week with Ebay. That time involved taking pictures and listing the items on Ebay and of course, there is the time involved in shipping to the buyers.

I am no Ebay expert and whoever takes over may find a quicker way to get things done.

My suggestion is to take good quality digital pictures showing different angles/views of the item.

In the listing, make your description as clear as possible giving complete information in regard to size, color, etc. Also, keep in mind that you need an area to store the items until they sell.

I would be willing to communicate via email and try to answer any questions that the new person might have in the beginning. Running SPR Ebay was for me a fulfilling experience and I encourage someone to give it try.>

>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.
