Bailey

Age: 6 years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Bailey is avery lovable boy whose only reason for coming into rescue is that he’d prefer to go through life without the company of small dogs, so if you and Bailey have that in common then he could be the right dog for you.

Abby

Age: 13 years young
Sex: Female
Size: Small to Average

Abby came into rescue because her owner passed away. This spry and petite 12 year old has the vitality of a much younger dog. All 44 pounds of Abby can jump almost to the top of a 6 ft. fence when standing on her back legs, and she loves running around with the younger dogs. We do feel that Abby is starting to lose some of her hearing.

Ghost

Age: 1 1/2 years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Ghost is a VERY active and fun boy who’s looking for a home with husky-savvy humans who have a securely fenced yard, and who will continue teaching him good doggy manners. Ghost is house trained, crate trained, and shows no signs of food aggression. He gets along with other dogs, and is a good boy in the house when supervised. Ghost likes to play husky-style (a bit rough) so he would be best in a home without young children.

Willie Nelson

Age: 7 years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

willie_tryptic

As you can see, Willie Nelson is a handsome husky with big blue eyes. Willie originally came to MaPaw with aggression issues, but we could see that he was a really good dog at heart. It was later discovered that Willie has slight problems with his sight, a degenerative eye disease common to Huskies called Corneal Dystrophy. Huskies rarely lose all of their sight to Corneal Dystrophy but his corneas will appear to have a greyish oblong area which may make his sight hazy.

MaPaw’s goal was to transition this good boy from being a permanent resident into an adoptable dog, so in an effort to achieve this Willie has received special needs training from a professional trainer. Through a lot of focused work, patience, and love, Willie has become a confident dog, and the time has come to find his forever home. Willie’s adoptive family will need guidance with this special needs boy, and will have to work with MaPaw for a transitioning process, requiring several visits to MaPaw in order to get to know Willie before moving with you to his new home.

Those who’ve worked closely with Willie believe the optimal conditions for him are a stable home with a human(s) home most of the time in order to offer Willie proper companionship. Willie could do well with calmer doggy companions who are his same size (no small dogs or other small animals). Willie is good with older children, but not with toddlers or babies due to their abrupt or unpredictable movements and noise level.

Willie loves to go for brisk walks, loves car rides. Willie might be okay in a home without a fenced yard if the appropriate level of activity is provided for him.

Niko – *Pending Adoption*

Age: 8 years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Handsome Niko has been living with his foster mom for the past few months since coming into rescue after his human passed away. He is crate trained and always lets foster mom know when he needs to go out. Niko is shy with humans, seeming to be more comfortable with women, but could probably develop trust in men too. (We’ve seen this positive development happen with other MaPaw pups.) Foster mom noticed that his eyes are a little crossed, which she says only adds to his cuteness.

Niko is a timid boy overall, and tends to bark and run for cover when he hears sounds like the washing machine running, or the central air conditioning unit when it’s on and he’s out in the yard. Niko would be best in a quieter home without a lot of fast moving activity or small children, and he would likely be happiest as an only dog because he’s not too crazy about other dogs, male dogs in particular. A backyard enclosed with a fence that’s at least 5 feet high would be best for him.

Niko is a special boy who’s looking for a loving forever home with a special human who has a gentle touch, someone who will continue working with him as he learns to love his new life with you.

Rex

Age: 1 1/2 years
Sex: Male
Size: Average

Rex came into MaPaw through a wonderful person who rescued him from a Craig’s list posting. Rex is a loving and affectionate boy who just wants to please. He’s got a lot of energy and will require a home with a fenced yard or with someone who has a very active lifestyle. Rex knows a couple of his basic commands: sit and paw. He gets along with other dogs and is good with kids, although he’s still in the mouthy stage so he’d probably be better off with older kids. This young boy is still in need of basic training so he’d be best with a husky savvy person who will patiently work with him. If you’re looking for a strikingly handsome kissy young pup to be your loyal companion, a boy who’s ready and willing to learn from you, a boy who will sleep on the floor (or in bed) right next to you, then Rex could be just right for you.

P.S. Rex loves chest rubs!
