Gem Of The Day: No Time For A Gem Of The Day. We Have A Medical Emergency. A Bichon Was Thrown From A Car In Chicago. A Witness Brought Him To the CACC Shelter. We understand he has a broken hip and broken pelvic bone and needs surgery NOW. Help is needed. I’m waiting for an email with the written estimate, which comes from one department, but the surgery department is trying to get him ready for surgery. He IS fixable.

Three year old “Elf” was THROWN FROM A MOVING CAR on a busy city street in Chicago.
He had a microchip but the owners chose to surrender him to the shelter a few minutes ago.
He has a new name and a new life now that he has found his way to Small Paws Rescue and you.
No, We don’t know who threw him from the car. The witness was probably more interested in saving his life than getting the license tag. I know I would be.
He is NOT incontinent, both ways, thank God!
He is ours now and he needs immediate surgery. Help is needed to save him. He is presently at Medvet Chicago. The surgeon is on stand by.
They have given an estimate of between $7000.00 and $8000.00 which includes a 10% rescue discount. These orthopedic surgeries are not inexpensive, but he is only three years old!
I’m here and will issue all matching challenges but we are in a hurry!
A precious Christmas Elf is broken and needs to be put back together! All My Love, Robin

Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006 Pet Loss Link
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.
