Dear Small Pawsers,

Small Paws Rescue Online Newsletter, especially to those of you who may have recently seen us on December 11, 2012, 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.

Thanks so much for all of your kind words about little Jazz, whom we lost to distemper.

We spent around $1400.00 trying to save him. We don't have funds to pay this yet. This was before we knew it was distemper.

He didn't present with some of the most classic signs, so the vet thought we could maybe save him and did we ever try.

Sadly, it was just not to be.

As you know, we have another little one who's vet bill is going to be around $1500.00 for bladder stone removal surgery and a badly needed dental.

We have two new matching donation challenges for little Benjamin!

Meet Benjamin. Benjamin is 8 years old and we learned that he will needed bladder stone surgery. He had a stone in his bladder and two small ones in his penis. He is at the New Haven Ct Animal Hospital and he also needs a dental. The cost of the xrays today was $200. The estimated cost of the bladder surgery is $1200-1500 and the dental is $300-450.00. The hospital will extend a 25% rescue discount on the estimate. I wish I had better news!

Robin,

I'm issuing a matching challenge for $750 for Ben up in Connecticut. We adopted a little girl from Small Paws four years ago who needed dental and bladder stone surgery so we're issuing this in honor of our little Chloe, who has taken our love for these little fluffs to a new level. She is so sweet, and we want a wonderful family to see how sweet Ben is.

Any denominations will do to match this challenge. Let's relieve Ben's pain and give him a new life!

And we have this challenge from Jane Robinson in Arizona. Thank you Jane!

Hi Robin

I’m so very sorry to hear about Jazz. I had hoped that his outcome would be the same as Miracle’s. If you remember, she also came down with distemper after being taken to the local pound when she was thrown out of a car. But she survived it and is a happy, healthy little girl these days. I’d like to make a $200.00 challenge on her behalf to help with Benjamin’s vet bills. (My first Bichon was named Benny and he too had bladder stones including one in his urethra. Ouch!)

Jane Robinson>

That's where we are right now! All My Love, Robin

Our little old man Peanut who is 13 years young was just diagnosed with a bad heart murmur. He has less than 6 months. He is in no pain and was given some meds to help his heart push the blood all the way thru instead of backing up.

I know he's had a great life, but 13 years seems so short for our little man.

Any prayers would be greatly welcomed.

Thank you.

>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.
