Take a look below and you'll see the pictures and write-ups for some truly loving and amazing dogs. Until they have their forever homes they are in need of loving foster care. Generally speaking, Shar-Pei do not do well in kennels. If you can find the room in your heart and in your home, MACSPRO will cover all costs. Please, if you are not ready to make a committment to adopt a dog for a lifetime, won't you please take one in for a short time? You'll make us and some wonderful dogs very happy.
Robin
I am a new arrival at MACSPRO. I was pretty scared in the shelter but the MACSPRO lady came and visited me and gave me treats and I warmed right up. I even went and visited the dog right next to my cell (that was what it felt like) and he was a 100lb Pit Bull. They don’t know how old I am maybe 3-4 years old. I am in the hospital right now getting checked out and spayed so I will be ready to go in a short time. I had a good time riding in the car coming up to the hospital and didn’t give anyone any trouble. I even tried to kiss the lady who picked me up. Make sure you mention my name when you contact MACSPRO about adopting a Pei. I am a real sweet girl and will make a nice addition to your family.

Ava
Ava came from Pennsylvania. She is a mini Pei. Her nails were so long they were pressing against her pads and she could hardly walk. Now that she has had her eyes and nails done, she is very happy and affectionate. She loves her tummy rubbed. She gets along with dogs and cats and hasn’t made any mistakes in the house. Come give Stella a few pets.

Brando
Hi: I’m Brando. I was found wandering around Baltimore and some nice person took me to a shelter where MACSPRO picked me up. I am a really sweet boy, very loving. I would really like a forever home of my home. Won’t you come see me?

Note:
In the original books written about Shar-Pei, it was usually stated that their life span was 6 to 8 years. This is totally untrue today. What might have existed in China 25 years ago does not hold true today. With better nutrition, better medical care and better treatment by owners, these dogs now are capable of living 12 to 16 years. A dog 4 years of age still acts and usually has the health of a puppy.
We have lost dogs at 6 days of age, 9 months of age and up to 16 years of age.
Please if you are looking for a good companion, consider our "older dogs". We can state that they are in good health, heartworm negitive and up to date on all shots.
If you are interested in one of our Shar-Pei, please contact us:

The area in which you live
It will help me to eliminate responding to numerous email that do not give me enough information so I can help. Also, be sure to check out our Other Shar-Pei Rescue Groups page if you live in an area outside the Washington D.C.- Metropolitan area and are looking for a dog. There are many rescues across the US that are near your home and can also help you find the right pet.
Please note that the people at MACSPRO are volunteers that also have very busy full-time jobs. We try to answer all e-mails, phone calls, and other requests as quickly as possible, but if we overlook responding to a request, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
