Lost Shar Pei - Derwood/Olney, MD Area

He ran away on Saturday just before sundown from our home on Applewood Lane in Derwood MD. They have woods behind their house that end at Redland Middle School, Bowie Mill Rd in Olney, and at Muncaster Rd. We are afraid he was picked up by someone because we haven’t seen him in a while and up until wednesday he was spotted in the area at least once a day. HUGE REWARD for information leading to his recovery

Update: 11/25/2014 Jimmy made it home in time for Thanksgiving. Thank you for your help.

October is for Wine and Pei!

We'd first like to congratulate Taz for finding his furever home this past weekend. We still have some great pei available, so check them out and foster or adopt one today.

Wine and Pei Events

This Sunday, October 12th, Denise Lewis will be representing MACSPRO at Paws in the Vineyard. Contact Denise Lewis if you'd like to help her out.

The following Saturday, October 18th, MACSPRO will be at Howl-o-Wine. Join us to meet some of our Pei to take home or enter your pup in the costume contest. Check out the attached flyer for more information. Printing and posting of the flyer is strongly encouraged.

Donations needed

We'd like to thank all of our past Guardian Angels and funders. We've been saving a large number of pei recently and at times seen our funds drop down below enough to keep our dogs at the kennel for no more than two more weeks. Your financial donations and non financial help are greatly appreciated. We really couldn't do this without you.

MACSPRO This Week: Adoptions, Calendar Pictures, Events

Our Dogs: This past week was a GREAT week for MACSPRO. Jenny, our sweet girl that underwent pelvis surgery after being hit by a car, was adopted at our Unleashed event on Saturday. We are so thankful to Jenny's foster family who was able to provide her with a loving home before she was able to find her furever family. In addition, Bear, our friendly boy, was also adopted at our adoption event! If that wasn't enough great news--Jade and Stella were adopted by their foster father and are living the good life with their new dog and cat siblings. We are so excited that these four great dogs were able to find new, loving homes!

We still have three amazing dogs, Rex, Ellie and Judy, that are looking for their own furever homes. All three of these adorable Pei love being around people and love to run and play. Please print out the attached flyer to help spread awareness of these great dogs! In addition, please consider giving Rex, Ellie or Judy a foster family if you are unable to adopt at the time.

2015 Calendar: We are collecting images for our 2015 calendar. Don't forget to send us any of your pei-bei pictures that you would like us to include in the calendar. Please send images to peirescue@macspro.org and don't forget to reserve your copy today!

Events: Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the Walk for Paws event scheduled for this Saturday.

Instead, we will be having a Walk Our Dogs event at Rivermist Kennels (19515 New Hampshire Ave, Brinklow, MD) starting at 930AM on Saturday. We will have coffee and pastries for you to enjoy. This is a great opportunity to meet and interact with our dogs as well as get connected with MACSPRO. We hope to see you there!

Ways to Help: We are hoping to bring Taz, a brown male currently staying at Baltimore County Animal Shelter, to us sometime this week.

We appreciate any and all donations as we depend on your continued support to help save these Pei from the unfortunate circumstances they are thrown in. As always, 100% of your donations are used to help provide our dogs with shelter, food and medical expenses and are tax deductible. Our Peis send you lots of sloppy kisses as a big thank you!!

Our Dogs: Jade and Jenny both had vet visits in the past week. Jade went in for a runny nose and Jenny went for a follow up to her surgery. Jenny's pelvis has healed really well. She now gets to go on leash walks which means she gets to be free from her crate and interact with people more. Jenny also already has an application in! We tried to get more pictures of Jade and Judy this past Saturday but the rain slowed us down. However, if you'd like to come see any of our pei in person, you can always email peirescue@macspro.org to schedule a visit to Rivermist.
