Dear Small Pawsers,

I hope you all had lovely Holidays and are having a very Happy New Year!

I want to talk to you about something that’s very dear to my heart.

Some of you may not know that any reputable rescue organization or breeder, should ALWAYS take their own dogs back, if something should happen where their owners can no longer keep them.

This is always true with Small Paws® Rescue, for any reason.

We’ve done this for over 26 years now.

It’s even written into our adoption contract, that if for ANY reason, the adopters can’t keep their adopted dog or dogs, they MUST come back to us.

Last summer, one of our Volunteers and Adopters, passed away suddenly at home. He was in his early 50’s. This was very unexpected.

Rene Villegas Obituary

Three days after his death, after the EMT’s arrived, and his body was removed from the house, his three dogs ( two of them were adopted from Small Paws® ) were promptly taken to the local Animal Control Shelter.

I learned about this on a Sunday evening, and I was contacting City Employees at home DON’T ASK HOW I GOT THEIR NUMBERS, telling them this was a 911 situation.

I told them that these were OUR dogs and we were coming for them with cell phones blazing!

That these dogs were used to sleeping in a human bed, and would be in shock after their Dad passed away right in front of them, much less seeing the inside of a shelter.

So, we got all three into rescue, and miraculously, one of you, near Austin, Texas, Volunteer Extraordinaire, Tivra Marks, stepped forward and said, “I’ll take them into Foster Care. I’ll take them all three.”

Gulp.

So we’ve had them in rescue for five months now.

No one has asked to to adopt them all together. 🙁 Everyone has told us that they can’t take all three at one.

Tivra can’t keep them forever. She’s already gone above and beyond. She works and she travels.

We need to find a forever home for them!

In order to try to place them, our Board of Trustees has made the difficult decision to place two of them together as a bonded pair, and one of them as an only dog.

All three of these darling boys are crate trained and house trained at Tivra’s house,

This is from their Foster Mom, Tivra Marks.

Subject: Qua, Zar, and Kamby

“After much contemplation, I think that if necessary, Kamby, could go by himself to a new home (another dog in the home is great, asking as they respect his desire to be an introvert and sleep).

Zar and Qua are definitely friends and should stay together. Kamby spends 90% of his time sleeping, and only comes out of bed for food and love . He is the easiest dog. He does not ever play with Zar or let Zar sleep near him, and Zar plays inappropriately with him and he gets fed up immediately and hides in his crate out of annoyance. Zar and Qua play, snuggle, and like to be together.”

So these are two AMAZING OSCAR WORTHY videos of both Zar and Qua (Pronounced Kay) and of little Kamby.

Are you ready?!

Meet Qua and Zar! You just have to see these boys on YouTube!

Meet Zar and Quasar – Central TX

Double the dog, double the love!

This duo is instant fun. They are very bonded and must be adopted together.

Zar is five years old. He’s a people lover and is loyal to his person/people! He will happily rest at the foot of your bed, on your lap, or snuggled up next to you.

He loves walks, belly scratches, being with you, and every human he has ever met!

He loves to play with his bestie “Qua”, and can enjoy toys on his own (he has the cutest growl when he plays)!

He can’t contain his joy sometimes and will jump and spin with excitement. He is bonded with Qua and gets a lot of comfort from their friendship.

Qua is a dog’s dog! He’s 4 years old. He will play with any dog that’s game! He loves nothing more than playing fetch, but when you’ve had enough, he likes to curl up against his human for little naps. He loves walks, toys, ear scratches, and his bestie Zar. He is a confident guy (unless you separate him from “Zar”) who learns quickly and is super smart and easily trained!

They are housetrained in their foster home, crate trained, and easy to groom!! If you’re looking for an easy adjustment, these two will slip right into your heart, as soon as you get them

home!

***They are very bonded and must be adopted together.*** Children in the home need to be at least 10 years old.

Small Paws Rescue, as always, is committed to rescuing Bichons and placing them in loving homes.

Adoption Application

And this is Kamby!

“Hi I’m Kamby, I’m a happy, mellow dude with bursts of silly play! I’m about 4 years old.

They tell me I am Bichon-terrier mix and I look like a White Seal Pup!!

I get along with almost every dog (I don’t love when they try to dominate me and will disappear to my crate if things get too boisterous) and have a ton of friends! While I can be social, I really am an introvert and prefer alone time with my bed or snuggling near my person.

I love sleeping, and I give any soft surface a chance to be a bed!

While I don’t jump for joy at bath time, I’m easy peazy and am a grooming champ!

I love to greet visitors, get a quick ear scratch, and then return to my sleep. If there is food, or a walk involved, or a belly scratch guaranteed, I’ll appear out of nowhere (really from my crate) and happily partake! If you’re searching for love, an easy companion, and a registered coach potato, we might be a paw-fect match!

Adoption Application

Kamby needs another dog already living in the home chosen for him. Children in the home need to be at least 10 years old. He is located in Central TX.

So far, we have spent $2,221.62 on these three boys, getting them brought up to date on vaccinations, current with monthly heartworm preventative, flea and tick preventative, and meds for itchy skin.

If any of you would like to help with their ongoing veterinary care, this is how to do that.

Donate Now for Qua, Zar, and Kamby.

If you know of someone who could adopt either Qua and Zar, or Kamby, please let me know.

Next, sadly, we lost one of our longtime volunteers and supporters.

It was Jim Jorgenson of Ames, Iowa.

This is his obituary.

I had just spoken to his wife, Joyce, just a few days before he passed. It was a shock to learn of his passing just a few days before Christmas.

Jim and Joyce fostered many Bichons for us over the years. They were wonderful foster parents!

I want to ask you if we, their Small Paws® Rescue family, could please sign the guest book for his family?

Sign the Guestbook

Joyce, we love you and are praying for you at this difficult time.

I’m praying that someone can give a forever home to the three little orphans, near Austin, Texas.

All My Love, Robin
