Bichons For Adoption By Nationwide Click Here 

Monday, September 21, 2015


Gem of the Day: No time for a gem today.



We've been bombarded in Chicago with SEVEN Bichons. all at once, all from different places, all at one of the Chicago shelters. One had maggots, one has bite marks and broken ribs and is still wagging his tail. One has a huge mass hanging from his neck. He is on his way to be be euthanized if we don't take him.

This is a medical emergency. Sara Pace is there now, not knowing what to do as we are just coming out of August which hit us hard financially.

Pictures are below. Their vetting will run $800-1100 EACH just for normal vetting, spay/neuter/heartworm test, vaccinations, teeth cleaning and for the quarantine of 21 days, required by the shelter. The canine flu is gone now, but they require the extended quarantine to make sure it, or any other upper respiratory illnesses don't come back. We signed a contract agreeing to this with the shelter.

Some of these have skin conditions, broken bones, and one horrible mass.

This is urgent. she is waiting there a while to see if money is coming in and how many we can take.

I don't have much information other than they are in danger of assuming room temperature without us. Sara Pace is there at the CACC right now. This is a shelter in Chicago which houses over 800 animals a day. There is no space. Time is of the essence.


This precious young male, maybe one year old, had bite wounds and has two broken ribs. Something got him. They did clean him up and clean his wounds. He was moved to "medical" so we could take him now. He is still wagging his tail.


This one has a huge mass hanging off of him


I don't even know what to tell you about this one other than she was headed toward the "back room" if you get my drift. Mange?


This one was a stray from CACC, came in matted with maggots, so the CACC shaved him to get the maggots out for the protection of the other animals there. He was on the list to be euthanized.


Another young male.


Another one who's time is up.


This one looks like a pup. I dont know if it's a male or female.

The shelter there is still requiring 21 days of quarantine because the canine flu has now turned into another strain of kennel cough. Not deadly at all but contagious for the first 21 days IF they have it.

It is also more expensive for us to treat them if they break with it.

We are going to need around $8000.00 in order to take them all.

I will issue matching challenges as long as I know funds are coming in.

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.
