I named her Bella. Look at her beautiful smile almost asking us not to forget her.
Bella is in a shelter that is short on space. We have GOT to get her out by Friday.
So now we still need at least $9000.00 to vet four of them.
We have one Matching Challenge Donation Challenge.
What is a Small Paws® Rescue Matching Donation Challenge?
It’s from Janet Bartos at jpbartos@sbcglobal.net. Thank you so much Janet.
“You need us & these furr babies need us also! I will start with a $500 challenge. But hopefully others can match or do more also!
Thx for all you & all the volunteers do for these precious furr babies. Love to you all! Janet”
This is what I was concerned about. One more needing to come in when we haven’t raised what is needed for what we have.
But we can’t leave little Bella there. We just can’t.
It seems that they come in cycles. Right now, Bichons are falling from the skies.
You all know what we don’t ask if we don’t need help.
We need help.
All My Love, Robin

Dear Small Pawsers,
Year after year, I’ve watched Veterinary expenses go up, all across the country .
You have too, I’m sure.
And I get it. If a Veterinarian is in business on his own, and has not sold his practice to a large corporation in a corporate acquisition, they still try to keep their prices competitive with the big buys like the VCA’s and the Banfield’s.
Why Your Vet Bills Are SO High
We have a VERY good relationship with Plainfield Animal Hospital, in Plainfield IL.
Dr. Paul Blasso owns this privately owned clinic just outside of Chicago.
He’s always had a heart for rescue.
He HAS rescues in his home and he and his wife treat them as family members.
I’m going to tell you about a night when Dr. Blasso called me. It was late. Near midnight.
He was near tears and this is a strong man. After caring for our rescued Bichons, he has seen his share of suffering.
He had recently adopted a pup, I think it was a Great Dane puppy, who was now at a Chicago Emergency Hospital, getting ready to undergo a serious surgery for a congenital gastro-intestinal issue.
They chances of survival were 50/50.
He called and told me where they were and who the surgeon was. I told him we had used both many times and always gotten the best care. He knew this. But when it’s your OWN dog, just about everything you think you knew flies out the window,
Then he asked me for something that only confirmed his heart to me. He asked me to pray with him on the phone for his dog, and I did.
With all that was going on at that Emergency Room, God was there. And we both felt Him.
Thankfully, the surgery was a success and his boy went home with him and is doing well. They still have to have him on a special diet that is pureed, but you do what you have to do for your furry kidlets.
I’m telling you this to tell you that Dr. Blasso is NOT a vet to gouge a client.
I’m going to show you the last vet bill we received from hom. And it does include a 30% rescue discount.
It’s for $9,332.09.
We did not raise enough last time for these four, and now we have four more new ones.
