Congratulations Cooper & Dylan!!!

Meet Cooper and Dylan – some of our newest guests at MaPaw. These two boys, estimated to be six to eight months, were found wandering along a road all by themselves. They were frightened to death and cowering from everyone. We knew that their best chance at the family life they so deserved would be to bring them into rescue for a lot of guidance and TLC.

Once they arrived in rescue, it took quite a while to encourage the boys to leave the safety of the crate they shared in the van, however, once they saw other friendly husky faces they started to relax. The other pups are showing them the ropes and that people can be trusted. They are slowly and surely relaxing and learning to enjoy attention and affection and being part of their foster home’s household.

Please check back for updates on our two boys. We are very excited ~ they have so much potential and wonderful personalities. Their confidence is growing daily and they are fast learning to be happy sibe puppies.

Cooper and Dylan are a bonded pair and depend on each other. They sleep together and are never far apart. They will soon be available for adoption, however, cannot be separated.

Coda went in for his two month post-surgery check up and x-rays. The good news is Coda is feeling great ~ the not so good news is our boy is too energetic and it is becoming extremely difficult to keep him quiet. The x-rays show the plate has bent from too much activity and Coda absolutely must be kept very quiet for another month. On a positive note, calluses have begun to build around the plate and grafts and he will continue to heal as long as the plate is protected from further bending.

Please send sibe vibes to Coda to be patient for another four weeks. He is a real trooper, but is becoming restless and frustrated. We are trying to keep him entertained with chews and pig ears. He absolutely loves car rides so daily trips will be included in his routine to brighten his day.

Congratulations King!!!

King is a 9-12 month old Siberian that can count his lucky stars! Somehow this handsome boy sustained lacerations to his front leg and the leg became very infected and was in danger of amputation. We are very happy to report that he responded well to antibiotics and crate rest and the leg is just fine!

King is a lover ~ this boy wants nothing more than to be near you and, if possible, resting on your feet or leaning in to be even closer. He loves absolutely everyone and is a favorite with his foster siblings and other pups in the neighborhood that stop by for play-dates and mutual sniffs.

King is housebroken and crate trained. He loves walks and car rides and is a great kisser! He is now ready for a second leash on life where he will be an important part of the family and loved and cared for.

How do you get 2 young, timid and unsocialized pups to kick it up Husky style? Introduce them to a house full of Huskies!!!

Dylan and Cooper had been picked up as strays. We don’t know anything about their past, but we do know that these boys are definitely bonded to each other. They are young ~ approximately 6 – 9 months old. They clearly have had no socialization with humans in their short lives.

Volunteer, Dave C. picked the boys up at the shelter and brought them to the Farm. When they arrived at the Farm, it was heartbreaking how scared they were. It took us a long time to gently coax them out of the crate they had been sharing in the van. While we lead them toward the house, they walked very slowly and close to the ground. Their tails were hanging, their ears were flat and you could see them slightly trembling. We finally got them into the house and to the door that opens into the yard. When we opened the door and the boys could see fellow Huskies, their tails curled and their ears went up. Out into the yard they ran and they were soon involved in a fantastic game of chase!

We had hoped that being part of a pack would help Dylan and Cooper adjust to life in a home (which they clearly had never been in before) and it seems to be working. They are working on their housetraining, but they have learned that the best place to be in the house is on the couch. They are becoming more trusting with their caregivers, sometimes they even steal a moment to give a gentle kiss before scurrying off to play with the others. One thing is for sure ~ they are definitely loving the company of their housemates! Here they are enjoying the sun with their foster brother, Ozzie.

Check back for updates! Welcome Dylan and Cooper!!!

Congratulations Buck!!!

Click here to check out my video on YouTube!

Buck is a handsome Husky that will quickly steal your heart with his contagious smile and warm brown eyes. He is estimated to be three to four years old ~ young enough for plenty of exercise and good times and old enough to leave the puppy issues behind.

Buck somehow lost his family and was being cared for at the shelter before coming into rescue. He has quickly become a favorite with his foster home and volunteers. He is relatively calm (husky-style) and gets along great with people and other dogs.

Buck is one of our newer guests and we are thoroughly enjoying getting to know him. This Siberian is going to be a wonderful pal and companion for someone looking for a new friend. If you think Buck might be the one for you, please feel free to contact us ~ we would love to tell you more about him.

Hello Puppers ~
MaPaw has lost another beloved member of our family. Yesterday morning, Ben lost his battle with cancer.

Ben had been with MaPaw just over 2 years, the last 4 months he had been in our Hospice program. In November of last year, Ben had one of his front legs amputated after being diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer. The tumor had eaten away much of the weight bearing bone in that leg and amputation was the only option. While we knew that amputating his leg would not increase the amount of time we had left with Ben, we knew it would give him quality of life for whatever time he had left.

He had adjusted quickly to life with 3 legs. He loved greeting Farm visitors and became quite vocal about his attention demands. His goofy smile could bring a smile to anyone’s face. Simply to know Ben is to love him.

In the last week, his health quickly went downhill. Soon he could no longer stand on his own and when he was helped up he would cry in pain. Although it broke our hearts, we knew that it was time to help Ben begin his final journey.

A “picnic” was planned for yesterday morning. Ben had a cheesesteak, which he happily ate between hugs, kisses and loving words. Surrounded by love, Ben took his last breath.

Ben was a gentle soul who made many friends during his stay with MaPaw. He is greatly missed by many and will be in our hearts forever.

Ben ~ wear your silver harness proudly, dear friend. Dance among the stars, free of pain. It was a privilege to care for you and an honor to know you. Until we meet again….

Hello Puppers ~
After almost 2 weeks at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, Coda finally arrived back at the Farm for his recovery.

He is on ordered crate rest for most of the day. However, he is allowed a few short walks around the yard on leash, which he looks forward to. His favorite time of day? Couch time with his housemates! Here he is chilling out with Sage and Sabrina.

It is certainly an interesting task keeping this young man calm and quiet while he’s in his crate…

He’s doing well and we think his recovery is right on track. He is scheduled to visit the Doc soon for x-rays to make sure everything is healing as it should be. Check back soon for updates!

Congratulations Dobbin!!!

Click here to check out my video on YouTube!

Dobbin is a handsome, nine year old Siberian male with baby blue eyes and a constant smile. He is a docile boy (for a husky) and loves to go for walks and play with squeaky toys and then he is happy to sack out on the couch and just be with the ones he loves.

Dobbin has been part of his current family for eight years. Unfortunately, one of Dobbin’s family members has developed severe allergies and they must find another family for Dobbin to love.

Dobbin is a wonderful companion ~ he is housebroken, crate trained and trustworthy in the house. He is a brave boy, but is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks. He is a lovable guy and just wants to be near his family.

If you are looking for someone to share walks with and then couch time with a good book or movie, Dobbin may be the perfect guy for you!

Our dear Kita has begun her final journey North of the Rainbow Bridge. Yesterday, she was having great difficulty in getting up and walking. It was clear to her heartbroken foster Mum that Kita was in a lot of pain. Kita passed peacefully surrounded by love.

Dearest Kita ~ we only had the pleasure of knowing you for a short while, but you left a lasting impression on our hearts. Wear your silver harness proudly as you dance among the stars. ~ September 6, 2011

Kita is a senior Siberian we have been watching over for a while. Her mom had to have a heart/lung transplant and could no longer care for her loved, lifetime fur-friend. We lost touch with Kita for a while when a family friend took her in and then took her to the local shelter and she was again adopted and returned…

When we found out this devoted girl was again at the shelter we did not hesitate to bring her in immediately. We are so happy we did, she is a sweetheart that is confused and depressed. We are giving her lots of TLC and extra kisses and hugs to let her know everything is OK.

Kita is approximately 13 years old and is a quiet, loving girl. She would be perfect for an older couple or person wanting a faithful companion that is low energy and doesn’t require a lot of exercise. She would probably do best as an only dog. If you are looking for someone to share the golden years with or just a laidback friend, please ask us more about Kita!
