Clara (#572-16)

Meet Clara, a stray from Maryland. We do not know much about her yet, but she is calm, quiet, and aloof.  She enjoys getting attention, although she acts like she is not used to it, and treats. She has been walked near other dogs in the kennel and doesn’t seem to mind them. She will need to be spayed, and we would love to find a foster home for her after she arrives next week. 

Update (7/27/16): Clara is now being fostered!

Update (8/12/16): Clara has been adopted by her foster family! 

Dexter (#569-16)

Dexter

Dexter is a 4 year old neutered male that has been bounced around to 3 different homes since last summer and really needs a safe home to go to when he comes to MACSPRO. He is a happy, goofy guy, typical Shar Pei that needs time to trust again. An experienced shar pei person would be the best fit for him.
If you could help this guy out and keep him out of the kennel, please submit an on-line foster or adoption application. Please, fosters in the DC/MD/VA area only.

Update (06/2016): Dexter went to a foster home last week, where he has won the heart of his foster dad & other pups in the house. His foster dad has fallen for Dexter and he will be staying with his foster now furever family.

Victor (#561-16)

Victor

Victor and Victoria will be coming to MACSPRO from Puerto Rico. Victor and Victoria came from a terrible situation in which the owners moved out of their home and left their two Shar-Peis shut inside with no food, no one looking after them, no way to get out, no nothing.

Victor and Victoria require serious medical attention as they were left abandoned in a closed house without food or water. Volunteers had to work hard to rescue Victor and Victoria from the abandoned house as there was a lot of rubble and stuff barricading the dogs.

We really need fosters once Victor and Victoria arrive to us--please let us know if you can help!

Update (01/2016): Here is a wonderful update on how Victor and Victoria are coming along! And again, we'll need fosters when they arrive in the USA from Puerto Rico.

Update (4/2016): Victor is coming to Maryland this weekend! We heard from Victor's foster mom that he is very, very spoiled and loves to get kissed on the cheek. He also loves to ride around in the car--he'll go anywhere! He is active and playful. However, he should be fed alone, because he really, really loves to eat and will try mightily to get into everyone else's dishes. He doesn't bite or growl, but he tries to push them so they understand to move....He's a strong boy, who may not always know his own strength when he's playing with other dogs. His favorite thing (beside getting kisses) is curling up in a really comfy bed. He really needs a foster home!

Update (06/2016): Victor, now called Charlie, was adopted and went to his furever home with Vanessa & Oliver in Luray VA.

Chloe (#547-15)

Chloe
Chloe is a sweet 6 yr old girl who came to us from Upstate NY and is waiting for her forever home. She would do best as the only dog in the household. 
 
Update 2/26/16: Chloe is a very happy girl, always glad to meet you & get 
petted.   She gets so excited she does a little happy dance for you,  and she loves 
children.
 
Update 6/24/16: Chloe is on her way back to Pittsburgh to her furever home!! Congratulations, Chloe, and her new family!! 
 

Wilbur (#486-13)

Wilbur 1

Wilbur is a sweet MACSPRO boy who is coming back to us. Wilbur is looking for his new furever home. 

Wilbur absolutely loves spending time with people! He may need lots of time and a slow introduction when dealing with other dogs. His eyes are not the best but he can see when someone is ready to love him.

Raven (#559-15)

Raven
Raven was found eating trash and living on the street in Baltimore. She was taken in by a good Samaritan who recognized her as a pei. Raven is in rough shape, flea bitten and most of her hair is gone, but she is as sweet as can be considering what ever she went thru. Raven is believed to be approximately 3-4 yrs old.
Raven has already been seen by a vet, gotten her shots and had a nice bath and was a good girl during the whole ordeal.
Raven is very underweight and needs a foster or furever home where she can get some TLC.
 
Update (01/2016): Raven's fur is growing in and she's gained a little weight, such a sweet little girl. She loves people & kids, she's the Petco Greeter at our adoption events. Rides like a little lady in the car also, even with Franklin trying to play with her in the back seat.
 
Update (2/22/2016): Raven went to foster and is so happy to have a playmate. She still needs a forever home, and would fit in with a home with kids and another dog to play with.
 
Update (03/2016):  Jeremy & Corrine became foster failures, they fell for Raven’s charm and made her a permanent part of their family. Tofu now has a permanent partner in crime!

Franklin (#564-16)

Franklin

Franklin is a male Shar-Pei mix with good manners and knows some commands.

Update (02/2016): Franklin waiting to play. He's put on a few pounds & is filling out nicely. He's a great dog, got the best of shar-pei & retriever traits. Please consider him if you're looking for an active companion.

Update (2/2016): Franklin went to foster with Terry & his new BFF Sadie in Virginia.

Update (3/2016): Franklin was given an excellent life while living with his Foster Dad.  Unfortunately, he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge after a car accident.  RIP Franklin, you were loved.

Jia (#567-16)

Kia

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!
