Welcome the New Pups!

We’ve got a few new additions to the MaPaw family that we’d love to tell you about!

This handsome boy is Dempsey, just 2 years old, he’s still a lot of puppy! He’s a bit mouthy when seeking attention and we’re working with him on that. It just seems that this boy never got the training that he needed to help him be a good canine citizen. He is a quick learner and he’s learning every day!

He is good with other dogs his size or larger and spends much of his day romping with the other pups. Dempsey is looking for a sibe-savvy home that will continue with his training.

 

 

Mila

mila-mediumAge: 6 Months
Sex: Female
Size: Average

Congratulations Mila!!!

Mila (me-la) is an adorable 6 month old red and white Siberian puppy that will surely charm you. Her mom had a job opportunity that she needed to take. Unfortunately, that left Mila alone for long days. Her mom loved her so much that she put Mila’s needs first and asked us to find her a good home where she would not be alone for so long.

Mila is well behaved for a puppy. She is, however, known to give into Siberian antics and needs a warm, loving home where her training will be continued in a positive manner. She is a smart girl and has already graduated puppy training. She knows sit, down and paw.

Mila has a LOT of energy and will do best in a home with another active canine playmate and an active person that likes to go for walks. She is crate trained, housebroken and trustworthy in the house while people are home and watchful. She is, of course, a puppy and will find mischief if left to her own devices.

Zeus

zeus-mediumAge: 2 Years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Congratulations Zeus!!!

Zeus is a 2 year old Lab/Shepherd mix with just enough Husky for good luck. Truth is when we met Zeus and heard his sad story, we knew we wanted to help him. Zeus was originally brought home for a 6 year old child. The novelty wore off and no attempts were made to train him to be a well behaved, loving companion. Instead Zeus was placed in a crate in the basement. With neglect and boredom, he learned to open his crate. He was then chained to a treadmill and remained in the basement like a forgotten toy.

Finally, they took him to a local shelter. Poor Zeus went from a dark lonely basement to a bright and crowded shelter, overwhelmingly noisy from other homeless dogs. He did not do well in this drastic change of environment. Zeus was confused and very frightened, so much so that his chances of adoption were slim. The shelter contacted us knowing Zeus needed some help in becoming the happy dog he should have been.

With a little time and lots of TLC, Zeus is learning to trust people and he is having a ball with the other dogs. He still frightens easily when he first meets strangers, but his confidence grows daily. He is a very affectionate guy who is eager to please.

Zeus will best be placed in a home that will dedicate time and effort to continue with his basic training. He has a lot of puppy in him and he is ready to make up for lost time. If you have room in your heart and are ready to help this guy with a second leash on life, you will receive in return a lifelong companion that just wants to belong and be loved.

Congratulations Merlot!!!

Merlot is a very pretty 2 year old red and white husky that is sure to charm you. She loves people and enjoys chasing and playing with other dogs her size. She is a social girl ~ everyone she meets is a friend. This girl loves to talk about any subject with beautiful woo-woos.

Merlot is housebroken and trustworthy in the home. She will do best in a home with older children and another canine playmate to keep her company. She loves walks, car rides and any activity where she can be part of the family.

Merlot is a pretty girl, inside and out, and like her wine namesake; she will only get better with age! If you are looking for a companion to share good times and always be by your side, Merlot would love to meet you!

Gabbi

Congratulations Gabbi!!!

Gabbi is an 8 month old Border Collie/Siberian Husky that lives up to her name! This girl loves everyone and isn’t shy about it. Unfortunately her family felt they could not give her the attention she deserved and wanted the best for this pup.

Gabbi is full of energy! She plays nicely with other dogs and everyone she meets is her new best friend. She is a smart girl ~ she knows sit, paw and down. She just loves belly rubs!

Gabbi is very much a puppy, full of energy and curiosity. Her perfect home will be with a family who will continue with her basic commands and manners, so she will grow to be a wonderful companion. Patience and a sense of humor is a plus!

Gabbi will do best in an active home with another energetic canine playmate. She is a wonderful pup with lots of potential to be someone’s new best friend.

Congratulations Tippy!

Some dogs are only with us a short while until they find their forever homes, but some are with us much longer. Tippy had been with MaPaw since November 2011, patiently waiting for her forever family to find her.

She somehow lost her family and found herself at the local shelter. After nobody came forward to take Tippy home, the shelter contacted MaPaw to help her find her forever home.

Tippy quickly made herself comfortable in her foster home and her true personality started to shine through ~ this girl was ready to take on the world! We soon determined that she was an alpha female (aren’t they all?) and that she needed to be supervised when playing with other dogs. Tippy is a lap dog that loves to cuddle with her humans and never tires of giving kisses.

All that patience finally paid off for Tippy when she journeyed to her forever home on Saturday (January 19th)! Check out the smiles in her adoption photo!

Oreo

oreo-mediumAge: 3-1/2 Years
Sex: Male
Size: Large

Congratulations Oreo!!!

Oreo is a 3-1/2 year old Siberian Husky/Native American Indian Dog. Oreo is a gentle giant weighing in at 90 lean pounds. He is wonderful with people and other medium to large dogs. He is housebroken and trustworthy in the house.

True to both breeds, Oreo will roam when given the chance. He easily jumped a half door to explore what was on the other side. Oreo and his brother were accused of going after nearby sheep, but luckily, their names were cleared. During his adventures, he would visit neighborhood kids and dogs, making friends and getting treats. Luckily he was never harmed and was brought home promptly. His family knew his wandering was dangerous for Oreo and want him to be safe in a new secure home.

Oreo was with his family since he was a pup and is a wonderful companion pet. He is a smart boy and enjoys attention. He will need a home with large dog experience and one that is able to keep our big boy safe and sound.

Roxie

roxie-mediumAge: 13 Months
Sex: Female
Size: Average

Congratulations Roxie!!!

Roxie is a 13-month all white Siberian Husky puppy that is guaranteed to capture your heart! This bi-eyed beauty (one brown eye and one blue eye) is full of energy and curious of everything around her. She is thin, as many young huskies are, and will gradually gain weight with a good nutritious diet.

Roxie loves to play, play, play! She is wonderful with other dogs her size or larger. She can be a little shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for her to come out of her shell! True to her breed, she is a digger and caution is needed to make sure she is in a secure, fenced area to keep her safe and sound.

Roxie is all puppy and is a diamond in the rough. She is learning her basic commands, she knows sit and paw. She is very excited when walked and needs someone patient that will work with her with her leash skills.

A good home for Roxie would be one that has another energetic dog for her to play with and someone that will concentrate on helping her grow and become a wonderful companion. Sibe experience is a plus.

Phoenix

Sex: Male

Congratulations Phoenix!!!

Phoenix is a five year old teddy bear of a husky. This sweet boy thinks he is just fluffy, but diet and exercise are already showing a difference. Phoenix was cared for and loved by his family, but life changes forced the family to arrange for Phoenix to find a new home that would also love him.

Phoenix is a very sweet boy that loves people, especially kids. He has lived with five kids, one of which was a toddler that loved to play with Phoenix. He is trustworthy in the house. He was crated for his first year and then he was allowed to have the run of the house.

Phoenix loves walks and is good on a leash after the first five minutes of excitement. He enjoys car rides and plays fetch. He likes to be brushed, playing with his Kong and will sing upon request. He knows sit, lay down, paw and even stay. Phoenix loves everyone he meets!

Lobo

lobo-mediumAge: 5 Years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Congratulations Lobo!!!

Lobo is a handsome, chestnut red Siberian Husky that is about 5 years old. He found his way to us when his family gave him up to a local shelter. Lobo has the Siberian’s high prey drive and it was felt best for him to be placed in rescue with folks that understand the breed.

Lobo is one of the new kids on the block and he isn’t sure what is happening and why he is here. At first he was very shy, however, when everyone was gentle with him and he discovered he was in a good place, he quickly became very loving and playful. Lobo is good with other dogs and plays well with them. He is quickly becoming a favorite among the rescue.

Lobo apparently was kept outdoors, he has fly bites on the tips of his ears where he has lost some hair. This certainly does not take away from his good looks and the hair may grow back now that he will be an indoor dog and part of someone’s family.
