North and Sascha

Age: 6 Years, 7 Years
Sex: Male/Female
Size: Average

Congratulations North and Sascha!!!

North and Sascha are two loving Siberians ready to face the world together. This pair has been with each other for years and are best buds – they comfort, entertain and hang out together. Both are indoor dogs and crate trained. Life changes have made it necessary for them to find a new family to call their own ~ we don’t want them to lose each other.

North is six years old and is a handsome black and white male who is playful, friendly and loving. He also loves to go for walks, but needs some leash work to curb his pulling. He is a smart boy ~ he knows sit, stay and come. He also loves any type of attention and being around Sascha and the rest of the family.

Sascha is a seven year old white female who is very sweet and loving. She is pretty mellow and enjoys hanging out in her opened crate. She enjoys going for walks and does tend to pull like a husky. She absolutely adores attention. She is a girly girl and doesn’t like to get her paws wet when it rains.

North and Sascha have been loved members of their family for many years. Sadly, the family has concluded they are not getting the attention they deserve due to medical reasons within the family. They want to do what is best for the pair, even if it means letting them go to a wonderful home that will love and spoil them.

North and Sascha have been trained through Barkbusters and come with a transferable lifetime membership. If you are looking for a loving pair of huskies that are calmer and love to exercise and play, please consider these two wonderful dogs.

Brooke

Age: 2 1/2 Years
Sex: Female
Size: Petite

Congratulations Brooke!!!

Brooke is a petite red and white Siberian Husky with a huge heart. This little girl is 2 1/2 years old and she just loves to play with other dogs. She plays nicely (husky style) and gets along with all dogs she has met her size or larger.

Brooke is trustworthy in the house and loves to snuggle. She is crate trained, however, has earned full house privileges in her foster home. She loves to sneak in bed during the night to warm your feet.

Brooke came into our care with her “sister” Meadow, another petite Siberian. While it may not be necessary for both girls to be adopted as a bonded pair, we feel that they need to go to homes with other canine playmates to keep them company. If you are considering adopting two huskies (which are actually easier than one), these girls may be perfect for you!

Victoria

Age: Approximately 2  Years
Sex: Female
Size: Average

Congratulations Victoria!!!

Victoria is a beautiful white Siberian Husky/German Shepherd with a soft, luxurious coat and bi-eyes (one brown eye and one blue eye) who is approximately two years old. She somehow lost her family along the way and found herself as a guest at the shelter. When we met her we immediately knew she was a wonderful girl that needed a little help to find her second leash on life.

Victoria ~ Vicky to her friends ~ is a very social girl with both other dogs and people. She enjoys a good romp with her canine friends and then quality time with the rest of the family. She has great qualities from both breeds in her. All she needs now is a forever home she can love…

If you are looking for a lifetime companion that will love you just for being you, please ask about Miss Victoria!

Goodbye Lucky

Hello Pups –
I am very sad to have to share with you that our Lucky has begun her final journey North of the Rainbow Bridge.

When we were contacted about Lucky, her human Mom was already in the hospital and there was nobody left to care for Lucky and her canine siblings. Since the other pups were younger, they were easier for family members to place. However, Lucky at 12 years old, was much more difficult. When she joined her foster home, Lucky made no waves with the other dogs in the house. She simply observed their interaction with each other and the humans in the house. This wallflower wouldn’t seek out attention from humans, but would tolerate their touch (only for a short time) until she retreated to her safe zone.

In September, Lucky came to the Farm. Her first mission was to find her safe zone, which turned out to be the upstairs bathroom. She came downstairs to eat and go outside, but usually spent most of her day in her safe zone. Frequent visitors to the Farm giving her gentle pets and kind words started to help Lucky come out of her shell. She slowly starting to seek out attention from her visitors.

Lucky was definitely a peanut compared to the rest of the pups at the Farm, weighing in at only 32 pounds. However, that didn’t stop her from bulldozing her way through a crowd of huskies to get wherever it was she was going.

In December, we began to realize that Lucky’s health was slowly deteriorating and we felt it was time for her to enter MaPaw’s hospice program. Her foster Mom made her all of her favorite foods ~ chicken, mac & cheese, bread and lots of special treats.

In the last 2 weeks, she was having trouble walking and her eyes said that she was getting tired. On Saturday, it became clear that Lucky was ready. Surrounded by those who love her, Lucky passed peacefully.

Wear your silver harness proudly, dear Lucky. We miss you terribly, but you are free of pain. Now you can run and play as a young pup. There were many waiting to welcome you at the Bridge. You will forever be in our hearts.

~ Scout

Congratulations Sadie!!!

Hello Pups –
Another one of MaPaw’s foster pups has found her home. Sadie had actually been with her foster home since August 2010 when she had been sprung from the shelter. We still aren’t sure what breed(s) she is, but we do know that she is a wonderful and sweet dog who definitely deserved a second chance. She patiently waited for a family to call her own and she finally found it! And it was well worth the wait.

Congratulations Sadie!!!

Welcome to the Newbies…

Hello Puppers ~
Over the last few days, we’ve had 3 new pups join MaPaw foster homes.

The first pup to join us was Brodie ~ a handsome white boy. He had been adopted from the shelter and within the last year, he found himself at the same shelter 7 times after escaping from his yard. Once his owner realized that Brodie wasn’t safe at their house, the shelter felt it would be best for him to find a sibe-savvy home. When we were contacted by the shelter, we were happy to help Brodie find the right home for him. He is a tall boy who is full of energy. He is learning his manners in his foster home and is enjoying playing with the pups in his foster home.

The next pup to join one of our foster homes is Harley. This gentle giant was brought to the shelter when her owners could no longer care for her as they had too many pets. The shelter contacted MaPaw because they were concerned that she was not doing well in the shelter environment. When she reached her foster home, she bounded in and began to immediately make friends. We believe that she is a Husky/Malamute/Shepherd mix, however, she also closely resembles a Native American Indian dog. We do know that she is an absolute love who enjoys the company of canines and humans.

Two nights ago, Bryce joined his MaPaw foster home. Bryce and Brodie have a few things in common. Okay I’ll state the obvious common thread ~ they’re both all-white Husky pups. What else do they have in common? Bryce also had multiple return trips to the shelter after he had escaped his yard. Bryce is a very social boy that makes friends with everyone he meets. He is learning his manner and knows “no” and “sit”.

Welcome to Brodie, Harley and Bryce! We are so happy that you each found your way to MaPaw.

Bryce

Age: 2 – 3 Years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Congratulations Bryce!!!

Click here to check out my video on YouTube!

Bryce is a two to three year old, all white Siberian Husky with striking ice blue eyes who found himself as a stray at the local shelter three different times. Bryce is now looking for a sibe-savvy home that will keep him safe and sound and finally give him the forever home he deserves.

Bryce is housebroken and knows some simple commands like “No” and “Sit”. He seems very respectful in the house and is eager to please – always a great trait in a Siberian! Bryce is a very smart boy and is fast becoming a favorite at his foster home. However, like most huskies, if he is given the opportunity to escape he will take it without looking back. Due to this reason, Bryce will require a home with a sturdy and secure six-foot fence to ensure his safety.

Although Bryce is dog friendly (he gets along with everyone), he is very picky about which dogs he would like to play with. Playing with other dogs in a backyard won’t be enough for this boy. It has become apparent that this boy was built to RUN!!! Any home that would like to consider Bryce will absolutely need to run this boy (on leash of course)!! Whether it is frequent trips to the dog park (2-3 times a week), dog scootering/biking or as a running partner – Bryce will absolutely require an outlet outside of the house where he will be able to stretch his legs. In addition, he doesn’t necessarily need a multi-dog family as he is much more people oriented.

If you are an active person looking for a partner to exercise and have fun times with, Bryce may be just the pup for you!

Harley

Age: 2 Years
Sex: Female
Size: Large

Congratulations Harley!!!

Click here to check out my video on YouTube!

Harley is thought to be a Husky/Malamute/Shepherd mix. She also closely resembles the Native American Indian Dog (NAID). Whatever her breed(s), this two-year-old is a wonderful, gentle girl we have fallen in love with. Due to her size (85 pounds) Harley will be best in a home with a sturdy six-foot privacy fence to keep her safe and sound.

Harley was turned in by a family that was no longer able to care for her and she quickly made friends in rescue. She is a social girl and gets along with the other dogs and enjoys playing a bit and then making herself comfy on a blanket or better yet, curled up on the couch with a human friend. Harley is trustworthy in the house, however, is a curious girl and loves to explore. Counter-surfing is quite easy for Harley due to her height and any temptations must be safely put away.

Harley loves car rides, walks and snuggling down for some quality time. If you have room in your home and your heart for this gentle giant, please ask us more about Harley.

February’s Dog of the Month is….

Jack!!!

This handsome guy is still patiently waiting for his furever home. He is such a love ~ we can’t understand why…

He adores people and lives to be petted by any idle hand. He is quite picky about his canine friends, so he would do best as an only dog. He is an active dog that enjoys walks and scootering, but still enjoys quality time with his human companions.

Check out Jack’s bio to learn more about him. Could he be your perfect match?

Congratulation Aurora and TJ!!!

Hello Puppers ~

I have some wonderful news for 2 of MaPaw’s pups. Both Aurora and TJ found their furever homes yesterday!

Here’s a fun little fact ~ Aurora and TJ both came from the same shelter. Not only that, but they joined their MaPaw foster homes on the same day!

Aurora had been found as a stray and waited patiently for her family to pick her up at the shelter. They never came and this sweet gal made her way to MaPaw. She is a social girl that loves humans and canine friends.

TJ had actually been surrendered to the shelter by his owners when they were forced to move (due to the economy) and couldn’t take him along. This pup had loads of pent up energy and it took him a few days at his foster home to burn it all off. He’s a love bug that loves all the attention he can get!

Congratulations Aurora and TJ! We can’t wait for updates and photos!!!
