I sent out the wrong link for the pictures from last weekend.
Also I didn’t tell you that the new website is mobile friendly. Constant Contact tells us that 70% of our people read the newsletters on a mobile device.
Also, the last few newsletters will be accessable from the home page!
Ok! Go and see the new website!
Gem of the Day: “This could be a golden opportunity to grow.”
Author Unknown
After over nine years, our Small Paws Rescue website has become obsolete. Many of the codes were no longer working and that’s why many of it’s important functions had stopped.
So, back in March, Silvertree Technology, the company who gave us our first website in a contest, won by your votes, began working on a new website for us.
I was sad to see the old one go as I had come to love the colors and style. What I had to learn was this.
Our website isn’t for US. It’s for new people who are doing searches online that will find us. New adopters. New volunteers. New donors.
The colors and style of the new website were designed for a younger demographic, and Lord do we need some younger Bichon lovers!
Some of us are aging, it would appear! (NOT you, but SOME of us are!)
So, today, on this 25th Day of October, 2018, I proudly present to you the new website for Small Paws Rescue, Click Here.
We are still learning how to use it administratively, so it will be a little while before we know how to add and change things.
One of the great new features is called “Success Stories”, and we’d love to see some of your’s. Please keep them short and include a picture. We will be changing these so old ones will go and new stories will appear.
We hope that you love our new website and that it attracts many new Small Pawsers!
Secondly, the pictures are in from the 20th Anniversary Oklahoma Bash!!
Professional photographer, Stacy Washburn, from Tampa Florida, photographed the entire weekend, at no charge to us. She worked HARD, shooting and editing, so that we can all share in that fabulous weekend.
Do you want to seeee??
Ok. Here it is!
SMALL PAWS RESCUE TURNS 20
10/18/2018
By Stacy Washburn Photography
There are instructions on how to use the gallery and how to order photos that you may want. The gallery will be up for a few weeks.
Many thanks to Stacy for her hard work over our 20th Anniversary Oklahoma Bash weekend!
Many thanks to all that attended, from the 26 of you who came in on Thursday, and came to dinner at our home, to the lunch at Sisserou’s Caribbean Restaurant, to the Banquet, to the Picnic and finally, to the perfect ending with the Barbecue.
Bonnie Ferguson and I love hosting you for this three day event and can’t wait to see you again, soon!
The Florida Bash date has been set for March 17, 2019, in Tampa, Florida. Details to follow!
(I think I can guess what the theme will be. Ha!)
Fall is upon us and here in Northeastern Oklahoma, the trees are just starting to declare their brilliance, before napping until spring.
Take some time and enjoy God’s amazing artistry, when you can.
It’s a beautiful Autumn!
All My Love, Robin

Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006
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.
