Dear Small Pawsers,

As you know, little Cassie, in Dallas, Texas has several things going on with her, medically. Please see below.

We need $3,303.25 for Cassie’s teeth, hernia repair, removal of a huge lipoma on her chest, and blood and urine tests to rule out bladder stones and Cushing’s.

So far we’ve raised $680.00 of that.

We have three wonderful matching donation challenges!

First, from Janet Bartos, at jpbartos@sbcglobal.net , we have this generous challenge for $1000.00!

Thank you so much Janet and I’m praying there is someone who can match you! We’d have $2000.00 to go towards Cassie’s vet bill!

“Robin,

Please issue a matching challenge for $1000 to help precious Cassie get the care she needs. She looks darling!

Thank you & your great team of volunteers who do so much to help the precious furr babies! Love, Janet Bartos 🩷😘💜”

And from Eileen Boehne at eileen@importingsolutions.com, we have this generous challenge for $500.00!

Thank you Eileen! Is there someone who is able to match Eileen for little Cassie?! We’d have $1000 more to pay Cassie’s vet bill!

“Hi Robin,

I would like to issue a $500 matching challenge. 

Eileen Boehne” 

And Judy DeAngelis at judyadea@gmail.com, just texted me with this challenge for $100.00! (Actually, this challenge came from “Ella”, her Small Paws® Rescue baby girl!

This is Ella DeAngelis. She is NOT up for adoption! Her Mama would fight you for her!

“Ella will issue a matching challenge of $100.00. Thanks you!”

So we have three wonderful challenges. If these are met, we are there!

Cassie has an appointment for all of this vetting on Friday morning. Only a day and a half away.

Thank you all for loving the dogs and the people of this magnificent obsession we call Small Paws® Rescue!

All My Love, Robin

Dear Small Pawsers,

One of our Foster Dogs has some serious things going on, medically.

Back in late February, we took in an Owner Surrender Bichon in Texas.

Her owner had passed away and her adult Granddaughter was the one trying to find a rescue for little Cassie.

This is little Cassie. She is 8 years old and is being fostered with long time Small Paws® Rescue Foster Mom, Sheri Pizitz, in Dallas.

She’s just plain cute! And she has a darling personality.

Unfortunately, she has some medical issues that need to be addressed before she can be adopted.

She needs the normal things. Vaccinations, Heart Worm Test, Teeth Cleaning, ( And yes they said she would lose some bad teeth) and she may also have an urinary issue.

We are testing for all of those things, but she also has a tennis ball size lipoma on her chest as well as an umbilical hernia from where she was spayed before we got her.

The lipoma on her chest is large. It needs to be removed so it doesn’t grow and interfere with her breathing.

The hernia needs to be surgically repaired.

This is the estimate from City Vet Preston Forest.

And today, her exam with all of the urinary issues, heartworm tests, vaccinations, ect, it was $753.49. She MAY have Cushing’s Disease and before they do the big Dexamethasone Suppression Test, they are doing some other urinary test. We also need to make sure she doesn’t have bladder stones.

So all together, we need $3,303.25 for Cassie.

We are working on an application for adoption for Cassie. But we can’t send her to a new home with all of these issues.

Our reputation precedes itself. We are known for the medical care we give to each one of our rescues.

Because it’s just the right thing to do.

Help is needed. I’m here and will issue all Matching Donation Challenges!

What is a Matching Donation Challenge?

All My Love, Robin
