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!

4 More Find Their Furever Homes!!!

Good evening Puppers ~

It looks like I have some catching up to do…

Brandy was our featured dog of the month for January and needed a very special home to tend to her needs. We’re not sure what happened to her before she came to MaPaw, but this 2 year old gal isn’t good with other dogs and has anxiety issues when left alone. Brandy’s dreams came true when she met Janice and Bob! Brandy’s foster Mum was sad to see her go, but found great comfort knowing that she had found the perfect family. We know Brandy will do well and we look forward to updates!

Next to find their furever home was Duncan ~ the handsome redhead. Duncan had been bounced around a little before making his way to MaPaw. It wasn’t his fault ~ the people just weren’t equipped to deal with a husky pup. Duncan quickly made himself comfortable in his foster home and was soon winning over everyone (and every Sibe) he met. When his furever family first saw him on MaPaw’s site, they couldn’t wait to meet him. When they finally met Duncan, they couldn’t wait to take him home. A few days after meeting him, he was soon on his way to his furever home. Unfortunately, we don’t have an adoption picture yet but we hope to get one soon!!

Skamp didn’t have to go far to find his furever home…he was already there!!! His foster family decided that he was such a good fit that he should stay. After we met Skamp, we couldn’t understand why he had been at a local shelter for so long. The shelter felt that his best chance for placement would be to get him into rescue where he could settle into a foster home and get daily exercise. Once he was out of the shelter, it was clear that Skamp is just one cool pup! He loves to play games of chase me with his new Sibeling and he’s so good about giving the older guys their space. We are still waiting for his official adoption picture ~ but here’s a photo of the handsome fella for now…

This weekend, Ranger found his furever home. This young man had been found as a stray and found himself in the local shelter. When his foster Mum first met him, she was greeted with lots of tail wags and Husky kisses. This happy guy is everyone’s friend and is always ready for a run or a round of play (Husky style of course). Ranger’s foster Mum misses him, but she knows that he’s part of a great family. Maybe he’ll be able to talk them into a Sibeling (ha ha)…

Congrats to Brandy, Duncan, Skamp and Ranger ~ good luck to all of you and your new families! We look forward to many updates (and pictures)…

Ebay Auction has Officially Begun…

Hello Puppers ~

MaPaw is auctioning some items on Ebay to help us raise some much needed funds. In the past few months, we have had the pleasure of helping out some really great dogs. Unfortunately, that means we have some pretty extensive medical bills…

The first item has been posted ~ you can check it out here. There will be plenty more to come in the next few days…

If you’d like to help out and have some things to donate for the auction, please contact us.

Happy shopping!!!

New Gal on the Block…

Hello Puppers ~

Check out MaPaw’s newest addition…

This sassy young lady is Duchess! Here’s another photo of her right side up ~

Duchess had been adopted and returned to the shelter 4 times ~ you read that right ~ 4 TIMES!!! Why? For being a typical Husky youngster ~ she was too hyper! The shelter felt she would have a better chance of finding her furever home if she joined MaPaw and we agreed so we got her out of that shelter and into a foster home as quickly as we could.

It took Duchess a minute to introduce herself to her new foster siblings before a game of “Chase Me” started. After a good hour of running about in the yard, Duchess was finally ready to jump up on the sofa and take a nap.

Her foster Mum says that she is a real sweetheart!

We don’t yet have her on the MaPaw site, but she should be up soon. So be sure to check back!!

BTW ~ many of us on the East Coast are getting hit with another snowstorm. I can’t wait to run around in the fresh stuff tomorrow!!

Goodbye to a Dear Friend…

It is never easy to say goodbye to a friend…

Many of you may know Flora from this photo:

Flora originally joined MaPaw almost 10 years ago when she had been found as a stray. Shockingly, her family had never come forward to take her home. It didn’t take Flora long to make herself comfortable in her foster home and she quickly won over her foster sibelings (even Harley!!). With her awesome fun-loving personality, we knew it wouldn’t take long for Miss Flora to find her furever home and we were right…Her foster family decided that she was already at home and formally adopted her.

A few months ago, Flora wasn’t feeling quite like herself. Several trips to the Doctor yielded no answers, so Flora’s Mum chose to take her to University of Penn. After several days there, Flora’s family got the news that nobody wanted to hear ~ there was nothing they could do, but take her home and spoil her. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

On Wednesday, Flora did Husky zoomies around the yard in the little bit of snow covering the ground. For dinner, she had one of her favorites ~ bologna!!

Yesterday, Miss Flora was clearly tired and was ready for her final journey North of the Rainbow Bridge. Her family is so very sad and they miss her terribly. Please keep them in your thoughts.

Say Hello to Skamp…

Hello Puppers ~

Just wanted to introduce you to MaPaw’s newest member ~ Skamp…

He’s a very handsome 1 year old Husky mix with lots of puppy energy! He had been at a local shelter patiently waiting for his forever home, but people kept walking right past him. We just don’t get ~ he’s such a cool guy!

We are happy to welcome him to the MaPaw family!

He’s settling into his foster home and getting to know his foster siblings. He loves to play, play and play some more – but will gladly cuddle with you on the couch too. He’s such a friendly soul and he hasn’t met a person or pup that he hasn’t made friends with.

We are still getting to know Skamp, so be sure to check out his bio for updates as we get to know more about him.

Get to Know Indian

Hello Puppers ~

Check out this handsome fella….

This is Indian. He’s estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. This young man somehow lost his way and found himself at the shelter. When the shelter contacted us and asked for our help, we were so happy that we could find open foster space.

Once he joined his foster home, Indian quickly made friends with his new foster siblings. In fact, he makes friends everywhere he goes!

He’s a tall and lanky guy who is full of energy. He loves to play and is quite the snuggler!

Check out his video on YouTube!
