We are doing it again this year!

MACSPRO 2025 Calendar Cover Contest is starting!

How would you like your MACSPRO Rescue Pei gracing the cover of our 2025 calendar?    Well, here is your opportunity!  MACSPRO will be awarding the cover of the 2025 calendar (a $100 value) to the best Shar-Pei photo and adoption story submission.    

RULES:

1. Submit up to 3 photos of your MACSPRO Rescue, preferably a good quality, full body pose without anything blocking them.  
2. Submit a story (maximum 150 words) about your MACSPRO rescue.  Can be their story before adoption, or his life after he found his forever home.   Examples:  Likes/dislikes, funny quirks, relationship with the family, humorous experiences, etc.    
3. Winners will be judged on the Shar-Pei in the picture, not the background.  The background may be changed, so we just need quality pictures of your Pei, regardless of the background. 
4. All entries will be considered for the remainder of the calendar.  Applicants are encouraged to pick the month they want their pei to be displayed in.  There is a $50 fee for each month of the calendar, which helps defray the cost of printing the calendars and help support MACSPRO efforts with medical costs for our rescues. 
5. Entries can be emailed to: peirescue@macspro.org
6. Deadline for entries is September 30, 2024.    
7. Entries will be judged by an independent Shar-Pei knowledgeable person. 
8. The winner will be notified by October 31, 2024.  

WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF FOSTER HOMES FOR OUR RESCUES.   AT THIS TIME, WE ARE UNABLE TO TAKE IN ANY MORE DOGS DUE TO NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO. 

If you are available to foster, please submit a foster application so that we can process it and get a pei in need out of the shelter and into a loving home.  

If you have already adopted or fostered for us, please let us know of your availability!

As always, thank you for your support!

Lali is safe at the vet’s now and waiting for her trip to Miami, then her ride up to Maryland, where we have a alifoster home waiting for her!

Thanks to everyone who helped with her vetting and flight donations. It is very much appreciated!

MACSRO is working on getting this girl from Puerto Rico. She was found as a stray, and the good Samaritan who took her in can no longer keep her. She needs vetting and will be boarded at the vet's until she can fly to Maryland. Please help us get her healthy and here! She needs a foster and/or forever home after she gets cleared for adoption. 

To donate:  Please use the PayPal donate link on the homepage.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting, you can submit your application using our website!

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! 

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!! 

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!

One of our generous supporters has offered to donate up to $5,000 in matching funds to MACSPRO!  
Now, through December 31, please consider getting your end-of-year tax donations into MACSPRO, and let’s try to meet this $5,000 goal in matching donations!   Please also consider fostering a shar-pei in need for MACSPRO.   We are short of foster homes for dogs in need and cannot take in as many dogs as we would like to save.  Happei Holidays and as always, thank you for your support in helping to continue to save the shar-pei and get them into wonderful homes.
