Your Financial Help Now Can Save Two Young Shar-Pei Lives

Would your Shar-Pei companion be with you now if MACSPRO had not been there to save them? 
There are two young Shar-Pei in Arkansas that have heartworm and MACSPRO needs help to transport and treat these Pei. 
Why Arkansas dogs? 

  • First, there are no local dogs in as dire need at present.  
  • Second, there are no funds available to treat these dogs at their present location. So they are destined for euthanasia. . . .  

All the “free” transports we have contacted do not want to transport heartworm dogs even though they are not contagious. We have found a transport who will bring them “door to door” for $700.00 per Pei. That would make it a total of $1400 for the transport.
Then of course, the kenneling or fostering and their medical treatment will start.  As we know, heartworms are completely curable, but we need your help! Please head over to www.macspro.org/donate to help today.
We will keep you advised as Billie and Bo are hopefully saved. Thanks for all your support.

Foster Needed for Found Sharpei

Update (7/2015): Godiva has found her furever home.

MACSPRO is in need of a foster for a sweet baby girl Sharpei/mix a couple found on Friday, June 19th near Aspen Hill, Maryland.

The couple have temporarily named her "Godiva." Godiva was found running along Connecticut Avenue near Aspen Hill on Friday afternoon. She has been with the couple since. Godiva is very, very sweet. The vet at Laytonsville estimated her age to be between 1-2 years. She was found with no collar and no microchip.

Godiva knows how to sit, she does perfectly on a leash, she is clearly house trained. The couple would like to keep her but are unable to due to space and ability--they have another dog and are renting. In addition, they will be out of town after next week and will be unable to keep Godiva with them.

The couple would like to avoid handing Godiva over to the shelter if possible. They have filed a found dog report with the County as well as posted on Craigslist and Facebook. They have also hung signs near where Godiva was found. Hopefully they will have some luck because Godiva is definitely part of someone's family based on her personality and behavior.

We are looking for a foster family for Godiva until her family can be located. Please contact us if you can help!
