Brandi
1990 - November 21, 2008
While we will never know the entire story of Brandi's life, we do know that she was found living in horrible conditions. Having lost her sister, she clung to life while she kept watch over her sister's body. She must have been so scared and confused.
On August 18, 2006, an angel was smiling on Brandi because that was the day she was brought to Kathy as she joined the MaPaw family. Kathy was told it could be only weeks or months that Brandi would be with her. This frail senior had already proven that she was a fighter, but she needed someone to love her the way she so greatly deserved. Kathy was determined to give her all of the love and attention she had missed out on for the past 16 years.
Almost every day Brandi went to work with Kathy where she had a special bed and got lots of attention from all of the office visitors. At lunchtime, Kathy stopped what she was doing to take Brandi for her favorite ~ a cheeseburger from Wendy's.
Without even knowing it, Brandi became the perfect example of why we at MaPaw do what we do. Not only that ~ she proved that a lot of TLC from someone who genuinely cares can go a long, long way. Against all odds, she saw her 18th birthday.
It is with a very heavy heart, that we at MaPaw say goodbye to a dear member of our family. Our hearts are breaking and we are filled with grief as we mourn Brandi's passing.
Godspeed, darling Brandi. You are free of the pain that held you back. You can once again lie by your sister's side. Many are waiting to greet you North of the Rainbow Bridge. You are deeply missed and will forever be in our hearts.

Van Can....
Beat Cancer
Meet Vandal, a wonderful, laid-back seven-year-old Siberian whose foster mom describes as a "Siberian throw rug". We call him Van, a much nicer name for such a nice dog. It was a sad day at MaPaw when we found out Van had cancer. After surgery and an oncology consult we were given the hope we all desperately wanted Ð with chemo Van had excellent odds of survival.
Van started chemo in July and "Van Man" became "Van Can!" as we all cheered him on. He was a trooper and his foster mom devoted a large portion of her time taking him to and from appointments and tempting him with home cooking when his tummy was upset.
Finally November came and it was time to see if the chemo had been successful. We headed out for the all-important ultra-sound that confirmed VAN IS IN REMISSION WITH NO CANCER CELLS! Way to go Big Red! We celebrated on the way home with cheeseburgers for the big guy!
Our heartfelt thank woos to everyone who supported Van and sent well wishes and sibe vibes. Thanks to you, we are able to help these wonderful dogs.
An extra special thank you to Dr. Jeglum and Veterinary Oncology Services and Radiation Center of West Chester and Chalfont for taking such wonderful care of our special sibe!

Katie's and Missy's Stories
There never seems to be quiet times in our rescue, but there is a quiet side for some special sibes. A hard part of rescue is caring for terminal dogs that still have quality time left. For these we place them into special foster homes...

Our Featured Dog of
the Month
Meet Spencer...
Spencer is an approximate one to two years old, cream colored Siberian who has had a rotten start to life. His young life was spent chained as a "junkyard" dog; mostly with no food, no water and no shelter. He was so covered with dirt and grime and severely matted that there was no choice but to shave him down. When he arrived at the shelter, his hope for a second leash on life began.
