Doobu (#582-17)

Doobu is a 3 year old female in need of a foster or forever home.  Doobu is very outgoing, playful, loves toys, and responds to commands.  She has a larger than life personality and will want to be near her caregiver.  She walks ok on leash and is very chilled out at home when with her family. Doobu has excellent manners at dinner and when taking treats.  Doobu is in need of ACL corrective surgery so we would need her new family's cooperation in pre and post vet instructions, which may or may not include taking her to therapy temporally and limiting her movement until she heals I'm sure with the help of medication.  

If you are not able to foster or adopt Doobu, our little comic relief then please consider DONATING any amount you choose towards her ACL repair medical care. No amount is ever too small. MACSPRO greatly appreciates any donation, no matter the amount. To Donate towards Doobu's needed pending ACL surgery please Click Here and specify Doobu in comments

A SPECIAL THANK YOU!!!!!!  MACSPRO would like to thank Deb Kachik of Deb Kachik Photography for volunteering to take some of the beautiful photo's you see of Doobu.  Thank you so much Deb, you really help bring out all of Doobu's wonderful sharpei wrinkles.

Update (8/03/17) – Doobu’s knee is completely healed from her surgery and she is feeling great.   She made the long trip to her new home in Hampstead, NC will she will have a great life with her adopted Dad, Burt. 

Chica (#542-15)

Chica

Chica has been returned to MACSPRO due to no fault of her own.  There were family barriers that kept them from keeping this sweet girl.  Chica is a sweet loving girl that loves to play with other dogs & kids.  She will make a great family dog.   Currently in foster but needs a forever home. 

Update (7/30/170  Chica went to her furever home in Columbia, MD where she will get to play with new furry brothers Bear & Linus and lots of love and kisses from her new mom Vicki.

Oscar (#568-17)

Oscar was found as a stray with 2 ruptured eardrums.  MACSPRO made all attempts to clear up the infection that came back as the worst kind of infection.  After several months of antibiotic and cleaning treatments the infection came back full force.  MACSPRO's only alternative was to remove Oscar's eardrums to give him a life without horrific pain and discomfort leaving him deaf.  When Oscar was released from his 3 weeks recovery at the vet hospital he went crazy with excitement when he say his foster Dad and MACSPRO volunteer that visited Oscar often during his stay.  He's still such a smart little guy dragging his foster Dad to the truck when he realized he was going to his foster home.  Once home he quickly reunited with his furry pals, foster Mom, and took a victory lap around both floors of the house.  Everywhere Oscar goes he is the hit of the event, eager to meet and greet everyone, as well as his furry friends he gets to meet.  Oscar seems to no longer be in any pain, and his lack of hearing does not seem to faze him in any way.  Surprisingly Oscar still sit's, give's paw, and lay's down upon command.  His foster family says 'This dog is a keeper!  Smart, and gets along wonderfully with the other dogs'.  Oscar still has a lot of puppy in him and can jump twice his height like a mountain goat.  Just an awesome boy!  Oscar does great with children of all ages.

If you are not able to adopt Oscar but what to contribute to his medical care please click Here and put Oscar's name in the comments.

Sori (#583-17)

Sori is 3 years old and in need of a foster or forever home. She walks well on leash and has a great recall for off leash. She would make a great hiking, running, or couch companion. She responds very well to commands and is very chilled out. Sori may be a little shy outside the home at times but has come out of her shell and continues to amaze with her happy disposition. She has excellent manners at dinner and when taking treats. FYI - Sori and Doobu (582-17) are sisters.

Charlie (# 588-17)

Charlie is a beautiful chocolate adult 8 year old sharpei that was left homeless when his owners moved and could not take him with them.  He misses them a lot and could use a loving home to foster or make it his forever home.   He’s well behaved, knows some tricks and does well around other dogs.   Needs some leash training, but otherwise he’s ready to go after his neuter this week.    Please think about this adult boy becoming a part of your family. 

Ace (#580-16)

Flying in to us tomorrow (11/19/16) from Alabama, originally from Mississippi, Ace is an 8 month old very sweet shar pei mix that was in very rough shape and is on his way to getting healthy. Everyone that meets him falls in love with him! He has a foster home, but is looking for a forever home!
 
Update (12/10/16): This sweet boy came up to us from Mississippi with the help of Paws & Pilots.  He was probably used as a bait dog in a fighting ring and suffered injuries to his ears (if you won’t fight, you get used to teach other fighting dogs).   Ace is housebroken and loves everyone.   Ace needs a loving home to make up for what he has been through.   
 
Update (3/11/2017):  Ace has been adopted! He'll be heading to his furever home in Wisconsin where he'll get to meet sister Daisy, also a rescue. They drove all night to meet him!  We are so happy for him  Safe travels and have a great life sweet boy.
