MEET & GREET event at the Yarn & Bone Pet Supply Store in Georgetown, DE

March 16, 2024
April 20, 2024
May 11, 2024

We will be there from 10 – 2 pm.  

We have a table set up near the store entrance. I am mostly doing this to bring awareness to local folks about our rescue and the breed.  If you’re free any of those dates, please feel free to bring your pei.  My Mercy works hard at these events.  Always fun to have more pei, we do get lots of attention!

We still have not pulled a winning name for the CRONUT HOODIE we’re raffling off.   A few customers and store employees bought tickets.  $5 a ticket for a chance on a zippered, hooded sweatshirt/hoodie.   Has the Shar-Pei Rescue Logo with Jake Waffles on the front, near the top and a full. Blown color impression of CRONUT with his Puppy Bowl Bandana on.  

Sadly, Cronut was cut, never introduced as a player and had a few seconds around the 59/59 tied score.  If you go to Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia’s Facebook Page, they’ve posted screenshots of the footage of him. Sadly, no one gets any compensation for going up to Glen Falls, NY and doing 10-hour days of shooting.  No compensation for gas, lodging, meals, etc at the shooting.   

I will be donating the monies collected from the raffle to Laura Say, Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia. I purchased the hoodie myself.  

The family from Cherry Hill, NJ was fostering him and has since adopted him. He lives with one of the Maine flowered pei, we shared with SPRof VA and is named Brewzer! 

MACSPRO is helping Cronut!

Cronut is a rescue with Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia and will be starring in the Puppy Bowl on February 11!

Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia saved Jake Waffles, (Cronut is his stage name)  from a shelter in Franklin County Virginia and entered him to be in the puppy bowl!!

Please help us help Cronut raise funds for his expenses at the Puppy Bowl.

We are raffling off this lovely hoodie, its an XL.   $5 each, and you can enter from our website: www.macspro.org using the DONATE button. Please note the number of tickets you are purchasing to enter in the raffle!   All monies raised from the raffle will be going to CRONUTS!! 

Happei New Year!!

A big THANK YOU to our dedicated supporters who helped us to meet the matching $5,000 pledge.  We actually met and exceeded the goal!  We are so appreciative of our shar-pei lovers who help keep our rescue going!

Watch for updates. We actually have three new dogs coming in this week to our rescue who need homes.  We also have a need for foster homes. 

Thank you again!

MACSPRO NEEDS YOUR HELP AGAIN!

Once again, we have to ask for your help in keeping our rescue going.    We are still trying to get out from under the vet and boarding bills encountered last year when we had to board numerous dogs due to lack of foster care.    We are still boarding Evan, and we have not received any applications or interest in him.  

Your donation goes a long way in helping our rescue pei.  As everyone is very well aware, vet costs have gone up and the few dogs we have taken in required extensive surgery and vet care.   We are also unable to take in any rescue dogs without a foster or adopter lined up to take the dog immediately.    We were successful in an owner surrender puppy, who need eye, nose, hernia and spay surgery.   She was fostered by our President, Betty in January and after getting her fixed up, she was adopted in March by a former adopter who recently lost his pei.  

Without donations, volunteers and foster homes, we cannot survive as a rescue.   This is not something exclusive to our rescue.   A lot of other rescues are suffering post-covid, not just shar-pei rescues.   Dogs are continually being surrendered to shelters or posted on social media that are one to two years old.   These dogs were adopted during covid and many folks’ life situations have changed and they no longer can keep the dogs they previously adopted.  

We are currently looking at fund raising events and other ideas to generate revenue for our rescue, now that things are almost back to normal, but we still need help from our shar-pei community.    

Please consider your tax-deductible donation to our organization.   Every dollar donation is greatly appreciated.

MACSPRO DOES NOT BUY DOGS AT AUCTION

The Mid-Atlantic Chinese Shar Pei Rescue Operations takes in dogs from local and distant shelters and owner surrenders only.    We are not involved in dog auctions that sell confiscated dogs from puppy mills.   Most of these occur in the Midwest, we do not have the ways or means (or money) to travel out there.   As most of you already know, we rely entirely on donations to rescue, rehab and place these saved pei in their forever homes.   In all truth, there are more than enough dogs needing rescue in our local, DC, Maryland and Virginia shelters and we do our best to get them out.  

We have brought in dogs from Puerto Rico (there are actually two waiting to come to Maryland) with the help of rescues in Puerto Rico who get the necessary vetting for travel and provide the transportation up here.

As always, 100% of the donations we receive go to the dogs.  Our volunteers spent their own time, money and gas to retrieve these dogs in need and take them to and from the vet appointments. 
Fosters who help us provide the food and love the pei need to help their over come the traumatic circumstances that caused them to be homeless.

We truly appreciate all the monetary help provided by our supporters over the years and can only continue with your help.   Please consider donating today to MACSPRO.
