Welcome
Looking for that special friend? MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue and Referral Service, Inc. is excited for the opportunity to help you find your new family member! Old, young or anywhere in between ~ our dogs have lots of love to give and are waiting for their forever homes. New to the breed? Learn about the Siberian here and find out if the breed’s unique characteristics are a match for your family and lifestyle. If you are familiar with the breed and want to see who is available, check out Our Available Dogs.
We serve Eastern PA, and parts of NJ, MD and DE. All dogs are shown by appointment only to approved applicants. At this time, all dogs are in private foster homes and we do not have shelter facilities that can be visited.
Please Note: Our adoption process includes home visits, therefore, our adoption area is limited to 100 miles of Philadelphia, Pa. If you are outside of our adoption area, please visit siberianrescue.com or petfinder.com to locate rescues in your area. Don’t forget to check with your local shelters ~ many Siberians end up there!
Due to the Siberian Husky’s high prey drive, we DO NOT recommend placing them in homes with cats or other smaller pets.
Order Your 2012 MaPaw Calendar!!!
We put a call out to our MaPaw alum for their best candid photos and we got a ton of awesome photos!
Our cover features Biloxi, who was only 4 months old when he joined his MaPaw foster home. He had been taken to a rural shelter after he had been hit by a car. He had a fracture in his pelvis and leg. Unfortunately, he did not receive medical care and the fractures healed incorrectly on their own. When MaPaw was contacted about Biloxi, we quickly found room and made arrangements for him to go to a specialist. The doctor felt that although the fractures had healed on their own, Biloxi was still able to walk and did not feel that surgery was necessary. Biloxi has found his forever home and he is now a certified therapy dog. Biloxi is a shining example of why MaPaw does what we do. We are so proud of Biloxi!

Kennel Update
Our kennel building not only has a roof, but it’s got interior walls too! Our volunteers are busy installing the doors and windows. Our guillotine doors have arrived and are next on the list for installation. Once we’ve made sure everything is secure for winter, we’ll halt construction until the Spring.
Spring will bring a new list of things to do ~ run electricity, install heating and air conditioning, fence the kennel yard, install the prefabricated kennel runs and we can’t forget about the security… Once we’ve finished all of that, we’ll be ready to welcome our first guest! We can’t wait!!!
The finished building will house 10 indoor/outdoor kennels. The kennels will allow us to bring a dog into rescue without having to wait for a foster space to become available, which will allow us to help more dogs. Any guest welcomed into the kennels will stay until a foster space opens up. Our goal is to have each dog spend at least 2 weeks with a foster home before being placed in a forever home. We feel that the foster home environment is essential to our dogs’ development because it helps them learn to become better family members.
If you are interested in volunteering your services to assist in the construction of the kennels, please contact us.

Foster Homes Needed
Our network of foster homes is MaPaw’s greatest asset. While we wait for the construction of the kennels to be completed, our foster homes are what allow us to bring more dogs into rescue. Once the construction of the kennels is complete, we will still need our foster homes to help the dogs in rescue to settle into family life and learn their manners (housebreaking, crate training, walking on a leash, etc.). While the kennels will allow us to bring more dogs into rescue, our foster homes will help those dogs get their second chance at becoming a member of a family again. If you have ever thought about becoming a MaPaw foster home, the huskies need your help!
