Sweet Senior: This petite 14 year old gal came into rescue at 12...after two years of waiting for a home, she decided to just stay put. We loved her until the end and miss her every day!

A Good Samaritan was walking his dog along the Perkiomen Creek on a cold winter day when he spotted a dog down by a stream. When they were able to reach the dog he was soaking wet and shaking and he couldn’t raise his head.

MaPaw took him in and are nursing him back to health, burt he is an old guy and may be with us for quite some time while he waits for his forever home.

Poor Buddy has had a rough start to his young life. This adorable boy was abandoned and left outside to die when his owners moved away; a neighbor was actually instructed to "bury him if he dies." He is only three to four years old. Buddy was found in a well house filled with several inches of water where he had perched himself upon various bits of junk in attempt to keep semi-dry. He was skinny and dirty, and his ears were bleeding from fly bites, but he wagged his tail gently as he was taken immediately to the vet for a full exam. He remained hospitalized for three days. Sadly Buddy was diagnosed with Lyme disease and also a kidney disorder, for which he will need a lifetime of prescription food, medication, and veterinary monitoring. MaPaw could not let Buddy go unaided and the decision was made to bring Buddy into the MaPaw family under the Virtual Adoption Program. Buddy is in his new loving foster home where he is receiving all the medical care he needs as well as the love he so deserves.

Buddy suffered severe kidney damage and will stay with MaPaw for the time he has left...

Niko is another example of the wrong people getting dogs. She was shipped from home to home and back to shelters. She was caged, banned to the outside, medicated and ignored. This pretty girl became an outlaw. By the time she came into rescue she was so confused she couldn't understand who was her friend and who was not. Niko is now off all medicine, allowed in the house (supervised) and is showing great progress. She has grown fond of her crate and sleeps there at night, but has become trusting people again. Our pretty girl is especially proud of learning to give high fives.

Jasmine came into rescue as a "one-eye beauty". When she was small a cat injured her eye. Poor Jas did not get the vet attention she so badly needed and finally, she lost the eye. Once in rescue we discovered she is epileptic and suffers periodic seizures, which are in large part controlled by medication. Jasmine is constantly supervised and rarely left alone, never for long periods of time. As with most special needs patients, she is the sweetest girl and is truly special.

Klondike is a product of a bad home, a bad life and, quite frankly, a bad person. As a puppy he was taken in and then chained to a doghouse day in and day out with no human contact except for the occasional dinner, we don't know why. He came to us completely unsocialized. And yet he is a sweet, shy boy who is slowly becoming a good doggy citizen who has learned simple commands. He tries to play with the other dogs, but doesn't know how. He loves to be petted and combed, but resists authority in any way. Klondy has come a long, long way since entering rescue. We are hopeful one day he may be adoptable to the right home, but perhaps not. Then he will be cared for by rescue volunteers and know he is loved.

Bo...he lived to be almost 20...who would have ever thought it was possible...and none of thought he would really ever leave...

Bo Knows...Bo is our most senior resident with quite a tail to tell. Bo and his family lost their home and were living in their car when authorities saved Bo from dangerously hot temperatures. He was then taken to an emergency vet hospital where he remained for a month.

When we got the call about Bo we knew in a heartbeat what we had to do. Bo had no other options and deserved to live. He was not “adoptable” at fifteen, he just needed a quiet, loving home to spend his golden years.

Three and a half years later, Bo still enjoys life! He is now 18.5 years old – a true granddaddy of Siberians. He has “senior moments” and is aggravated by the “youngsters” but still play-bows, jumps on the bed and woo-woos for his attention.

Our senior sibe gets a little confused at times but is comfortable in his foster home. He shows little sign of slowing down. He will remain in foster care where he is being loved and spoiled – hopefully for a long, long time.
