Since I came out
of the Small Paws
Midwest
Bichon Bash, held
in Valparasio Indiana
on
Saturday, we have
had owner surrender
requests
for 14 Bichons from
all over the country.
I started reading
them in the parking lot
of the Bash.
It was as if the flood gates opened.
One is for a bonded pair and the rest are
are single surrender forms.
Then, on top of that, Sara Pace got a call
TODAY that there are at least EIGHT Bichons
in trouble at one of the Chicago shelters.
They need to be rescued by 10:00 TOMORROW
MORNING, Tuesday.
It will cost around $5000.00 to vet and quarantine
these eight Bichons IF there is nothing abnormally
wrong.
Thanks to 113 attendees, organizers Sara
and Scott Pace, and Rae and Don Steebs, we
raised $6020.00 at the Bash on Saturday.
(That's before expenses for the caterer,
building rental, table and chairs rental,
etc.)
$1100.00 of those
funds were raised specifically
for surgery for a
little Bichon named Bean,
who was an owner
surrender in the Chicago
area.
He has a manly problem.
Things are coming
out and staying out
that
shouldn't, and there
isn't enough skin
to
cover what is out,
when it shouldn't
be out
, if you get my drift.
A Board Certified Surgeon is going to need
to amputate part of his little boy parts
and try to pull the skin up. It will involve
his urethra and his ability to go to the
bathroom, so we do need to use a surgeon.
The cost will be $1100.00.
We just paid a bill to Naperville Vet Clinic
near Chicago for $5,464.40.
We are barely keeping up with these Chicago
Bichons and now there are eight more.
If we leave them there, they will be killed
dead and assume room temperature.
I hate coming to
ask you again.
I'd just about rather have a root canal than
come and ask you again for money.
I just don't know what to do here and I'm
feeling overwhelmed tonight.
A Bichon was abandoned
in a house after the
people moved, here
in Tulsa.
We have her here in Tulsa.
And owner surrenders are coming in from GA.,
MA., TX., OR., WA., and the list goes on.
If I sound stressed,
I am. We are drowning
here.
Not only do we need funds to save these next
eight, (We've already paid nearly $18,000
in vet bills in the first nine days of June)
Sara says we also need foster homes for these
eight as hers are all completely full.
We also need foster homes we can fly some
of these owner surrenders to, from some of
our other states.
We need help. We need YOU.

These are the pictures
of a few of the Chicago
Bichons who need
us. They were snapped quickly
by a volunteer with
her cell phone.
We do not know if
they are males, females,
or what.
Some of you ask why
this is happening so
much in Chicago.
I have no idea. I wish I did. I only know
that it is happening.
Here are a few of their pictures.
This is urgent. We need to raise funds so
we can get them out in the morning.
On a good note, Dr. Keith Curcio with North Georgia Veterinary Specialists in Buford, GA. completed a successful surgery
on little Pippin.
"Pippin" had a very painful fracture of the femur at the stifle joint
on his back left leg. He is darling with a sweet temperament.
From Laura Castel
earlier today: "We
are leaving North
GA Vet specialists
and
heading to Alpharetta
animal hospital."
(Notice, he is putting a little weight on
that leg, where it was dangling before. Thank
you all for helping him!)
So, that's where we are.
I'm up tonight in order to try to raise enough
to get everyone out in the morning.
Keep the coffee coming
and please keep me
company as we try
to do this one more time.
Please Lord, help us.
All My Love, Robin

>When these folks applied to adopt, and
we asked how their Bichon was killed by a
car, this was their response. We hear this
on an average of once a week.
(These are NOT Bichons
adopted from Small
Paws.)
PLEASE don't take
a chance with the
life
of your Bichon!
We do not adopt to
people who allow
their
dogs to run loose.

Subject: Re: Small
Paws Rescue
We had him for the last five years, He is
very obedient normally when we say "stay"
he will stop wherever he is, so some times
we are used to play with him in the yard
for he loves to run around the yard in circles,
during that time we did not put him on the
leash, this particular day he was not on
leash and did not yield to the command when
he saw some dog across the road. It took
off so suddenly the on coming driver did
not have time to stop the car. That is how
it happened.>
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.
