Before I show you NINE of our latest rescues, we have a matching donation challenge for them! It’s from Jeanne Montross and it’s for $250.00. Thank you Jeanne! I hope someone can match you soon.

Robin,
I would like to make $250 matching donation, in the name of Missy and Izzie.  My fluffs have been my best friends for years. Although they are getting older now they still like to do the same things.  My 13 year old just requires more patience now,and a great deal of encouragement to eat.  I have put in an invisible fence for her so she has stopped going in the street.   We are not allowed to put up a regular fence in the Villages.  And both of the girls still enjoy their golf cart rides with their seat belts on.  
 
Hope this finds you well
Fondly, Jeanne

They are coming, I promise, but I want to show you an email from one of our South Texas vets.
 
I think it explains why vetting costs for these little ones are so high, running between $800.00 and $1000.00, and that’s if nothing out of the ordinary is wrong.

Subject: Estimate for Picasso

<Hey Robin,
 
The estimate for Picasso came to $811.36. That is with your discount and it includes vaccines, medication (for his skin, eyes and after surgery), neuter and dental. He will most likely need teeth extracted, which will add on cost. However, it is hard to say how many until we get in there, clean the teeth and get a really good look. We will do what we need to to make things better for him, but we are going keep cost in mind. >
 
That’s why we need your help. We have NINE new rescues.
 
Ok, without further ado, these are our newest Small Paws Rescues
including two bonded pairs.
 
Meet three year old Chicago shelter rescue, a female named “Mabrey”.
 
Webster was a stray  at the CACC in Chicago and is
estimated at 2-3 years old. 
 
Savvy was a stray from the CACC and is estimated
at 1-2 years old. 
 
 
Star and Jazzy are sisters and a bonded pair.
They were owner surrenders. Both are 2 years old.
They are “Teddy Bears” (Bichon/Shih-tzu)
 
 
Charlie was an owner surrendered to a South Texas shelter. 
He is a 2 year old male. He is heartbroken. 


Alfie and Elise were owner surrenders to a South Texas shelter. 
They are two years old and are bonded siblings. 


Winston was a stray at a South Texas Shelter.
He was a hot mess until we got him cleaned up.
He is around two years old. 

So that makes nine who need your help. We need to raise around $8500.00.

You know that we don't ask if we don't need help. 

I'm here and will issue all matching donation challenges. All My Love, Robin

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.
