Personal About Jody and Steve Ferarro. The 2019 Small Paws Holiday Auction is Now Accepting Donated Items!

October 30, 2019

Gem Of The Day: The 2019 Small Paws Rescue Online Auction is coming!

Before I tell you the details of how to donate items for the auction, I need to share something even MORE important than the auction.

Small Pawser, Jody Ferraro, at jlaferr@aol.com, has conducted our Online Charity Auctions for several years now.
 
If you remember, last year, I told you that Jody’s husband Steve, had recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Still, she went on to be the webmaster for our Spring Online Auction.

Now Steve is very, very ill.

But Jody still wants to do the Holiday auction.

Jody is both working full time and taking care of her husband.

This Holiday Auction is truly a labor of love for Jody.

Despite my trying to talk her out of doing it this year, she really WANTS to do it.

I hope we can all show our support to Steve and Jody by donating items as soon as possible for this upcoming Holiday  auction.

Remember, donors are responsible for shipping their items.

Our Auction will end December 1, which will give us time to rush your packages to you in time for gift giving. Robin
So, Starting on Sunday at 8:00 A.M. E.S.T. on November 10, 2019, and ending at 10:00 P.M, E.S.T. December 1, 2019, Small Paws® Rescue Inc. will be auctioning a number of fun and unique items to bid on to raise money for our organization – and the more items we have the more money we can raise, so we’re asking for your help.

Give a little and get a lot in return! 

Whether you have 1 item or 100 to contribute, your participation is an invaluable part of our fundraising efforts. By donating an item or service directly online, you’ll be helping to raise money for our organization.

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.
