Jia is coming to MACSPRO this Saturday. Jia is a 3 yr old apricot dilute girl that was surrendered by her family when she did not get along with the other dog in the household.
Update (02/2016): Jia went to her forever home back in PA with Chris & Lindsay. Based on her pictures, she looks like she’s settling in very well and getting spoiled!
Valentino is a lovable 4 year old 50 lb Shar Pei who comes from Falls Church, Va. His favorite activity is snuggling up on a soft blanket and sleeping all day. He loves affection from his owners. He has previously lived in a loving home with adults, grandparents, and children who lived with him from 3-6 and 7-10 years old. He takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does he will show them a lot of affection. He prefers to be the only pet- he is more cautious towards other animals, but will also warm up to them when introduced slowly.

After months of living on the streets of West Virginia and eluding Animal control, Dave was lured in by a fellow shar-pei owner. He currently has trust issues from being on his own for so long. We have him in boarding at the vet clinic, where the owner works magic with these types of dogs. Dave is able to stay in the office of the clinic, so that Dave can see people come and go all day and get used to them. He is also attending a weekly obedience class. Dave has already bonded with the staff member that takes him to class, and has made progress with others as well. Dave is now fully vetted and neutered. He is described as a gentleman, and a dream on the leash. He is walked almost daily by different volunteers, so he is used to a lot of people.
Update (10/2015): Dave has moved into his furever home in Salisbury, MD.
