MaPaw Welcomes Chief into Our Hospice Program

Chi (Chee) is a sixteen-year-old Siberian that was turned into a crowded shelter after a lifetime of companionship and devotion. His eyes had no hope; he was filthy, matted and unable to walk from neglect. Chi had been tossed away by those who should have loved him.

Chi was welcomed in with open arms and tears in our eyes. He was placed into our Husky Hospice Program and we promised him that he would be loved and cared for. He was given a nice comfy bed, good nutritional food, supplements and plenty of TLC. His coat was matted so badly with parasites and dried urine that much of it had to be shaved away in sections. A sling was used to help him walk.

Chi is slowly improving. He now walks unassisted and isn’t shy about coming up and nuzzling for some attention. He is still extremely underweight, but the shine has returned to his eyes. Chi knows he is loved.

Our foster mom named him “Chi”, the term for universal energy or the energy that permeates everything around us. It fits him well.

Please check back for updates on Chi. He will remain with us for as long as he has quality life and will be pampered, loved and spoiled. Our Husky Hospice is a quiet side of our rescue dedicated to caring for the Siberians that cannot be adopted.

If you would like to make a donation toward Chief’s care, please do so via the Google Donate button located below Chief’s photo. We greatly appreciate your support!

Thank You Dieruff High School!!

On Tuesday, May 4th some of MaPaw’s representatives (along with their human companions) made a special visit to Dieruff High School in Allentown, PA.

Dieruff’s mascot is a Husky named Kiska. Over the years, the kids of Dieruff have done many different activities to raise money for MaPaw. This year, the kids organized a bake sale and they asked that we bring some of our furry friends to the school. Of course we said YES ~ we couldn’t wait to see the kids!!!

RJ, Kito, Mya, Papillon and Murphy were wonderful ambassadors for MaPaw. They really enjoyed visiting with the kids and all of the attention they received ~ RJ may have gotten a little too excited (he had an accident…).

We are so grateful to Dieruff for their hard work and their support of MaPaw.

Here are some photos of our visit ~ look at all those happy faces (both human and canine)…

Thank Woo Dieruff!!!

In Loving Memory ~ Kathy "Mom" Fry

To our Friend and Loved One ~ You will be missed so very much
You gave Comfort and Happiness to the Dogs and to Us ~ You were “Mom”
You are at Peace now, God Bless ~ The World is a Sadder Place without you.

Not An Angel
The young pup and the older dog lay on the shaded sweet grass watching life reunions. Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes a whole family would approach the Rainbow Bridge, be greeted by their loving pets, and cross the bridge together.

The young pup playfully nipped at the older dog, “Look! Something wonderful is happening!” The older dog stood up and barked excitedly, “Quickly, Get over to the path.” “That’s not my owner,” whined the pup, but did as he was told.

Thousands of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on the path toward the bridge. As the glowing figure passed, each animal bowed its head in love and respect. The figure finally approached the bridge and was met by a menagerie of joyous animals. Together, they all walked over the bridge and disappeared.

The young pup was in awe. “Was that an angel?” he whispered. “No,” said the older dog, “that person worked rescue.”

Say Hello to MaPaw’s Newest Gals (that’s right ~ GIRLS!!!)

Good evening Puppers ~

I am very excited to introduce you to MaPaw’s newest members. The best part….THEY ARE BOTH GIRLS!!!

I don’t know if you have checked out MaPaw’s site lately, but there are a lot of boy faces on our Available Dogs page. But now we have 2 new beauties…

Meet Mya ~

Mya is on the petite side, but don’t let her size fool you! She is full of energy and is always looking for a good game of chase with her Husky friends. She came to MaPaw when her owner could no longer care for her. She is settling into her foster home and is learning her manners from the other pups in her foster home. This little lady is busy making friends with everyone she meets!

Two days later, Miss Daisha joined her MaPaw foster home.

She somehow found herself at a local shelter and when they asked MaPaw for assistance, we were glad to be able to help. This little lady is a love bug and can’t wait to give sweet Husky kisses to everyone she meets!

Welcome Mya and Daisha!

Since both these gals just joined MaPaw, they are not yet on the site. But they will be soon…

Meet MaPaw’s Newest Pups…

Hello Puppers ~

This week MaPaw welcomed 3 new pups into our family.

First to join us was Sadie. When we first met her, we weren’t too sure we saw husky but we were sure that she was one sweet gal. She was the perfect passenger during her long road trip to get to her foster home. After greeting her “driver” with a few kisses, she politely returned to the backseat where she curled up in a ball and slept soundly for her lengthy trek. She walks well on leash and will promptly and proudly sit when asked. She has settled into her foster home and is enjoying her new canine companion. She is on the petite side ~ weighing around 40 pounds.

Next to join us was “Dover”. We had tentatively named him this as he was found as stray, but now it seems his foster home is in debate over what his new name should be. Last we heard, a decision still hasn’t been made. Stay tune to find out what his new name is…

He is happily settling into his foster home and enjoying the company of his 2 new foster sibelings.

And finally ~ meet Max. While you wouldn’t be able to tell by the way this boy plays, he has a deformed back foot. Most of the time he gets around on 3 legs, but no worries ~ he comes fully equipped with all the husky energy a boy his age should have! He is getting settled into his foster home and is quickly becoming everyone’s best bud ~ both canines and humans!

Welcome to our 3 newest members! They are not on the MaPaw site yet, but will be soon. Remember to stop by our site to find out more about them!
