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.  

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!

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! 

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!
