Meet 2 year old “Emmie Small Paws”.

She was in horrible pain until the Dogtors at Medvet of Chicago were able to help. She is still in pain when moved. This is a medical emergency.

Dear Small Pawsers,

We learned from a shelter in Michigan about this 2 year old female who was hit by a car LAST SATURDAY GOOD LORD.

She has a broken pelvis, a dislocated hip, an abdominal hernia has popped out in the last two days from being hit by the car, a bruised lung and FIVE broken ribs.

A good Sam saw her get run over and took her to local shelter.

Even though she has serious wounds, they had to keep her on a stray hold to give an owner a chance to claim her.

Small Pawers Dawn Mead and Linda Oshenfeld did a transport to get her from Michigan to Chicago, yesterday.

From Linda: “She was crying and growling during the transfer from Dawn’s car to mine.
Dawn Mead and I took Emmie from a Michigan Shelter to MedVet Chicago after Emmie had been hit by a car. She was in a lot of pain, and the shelter couldn’t tell Dawn when she had her last pain meds.
During the transfer of Emmie from Dawn’s car to mine, Emmie cried and growled. Thankfully, the tech at MedVet muzzled Emmie and was able to get her to a doctor. They do not allow anyone else inside the building, so I was not allowed to carry her inside.”

Why did we move her to Chicago?

Because we needed THIS surgeon. Dr. Aaron Jackson, 

You may remember little “Elf” who was thrown from a car around Christmas time in 2019.

This is “Elf” today. A little over a year after someone tried to murder him. He is happy and healthy! You all did this for him and his new family. He is so loved!

His story went around the world and was picked up by the Associated Press.

This news story was in the UK.

This was one of the many Chicago news stories.

Elf’s surgeon was Dr. Jackson!

He fixed our broken little Elf and he will fix our broken Emmie if we can raise the fund.

He wants to give her another night on meds and then do the surgery first thing in the morning. IN THE MORNING, SATURDAY .

We still have three matching challenges that were for Gatsby, Harper, Missy and Adelade. (Barbe Von Netzer’s was e only one that matched.)

Deborah Berger has added  a new one. The others remain and I’m rolling them over for our precious little “Emmie” because time is of the essence.

This is most urgent with less that 12 hours to raise funds.

What Is A Matching Donation Challenge? 

First, from Janet Bartos, we have this wonderful challenge for $300.00! Is there anyone reading this who can match Janet for these five precious babies? Thank you Janet! See pictures below.

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.
