MAPR Pals
This page has been created to help the pets that otherwise would not have had a chance to survive. Our volunteers often go into shelters and find pets that we simply cannot leave behind. Many counties have policies of immediately euthanizing any pregnant dog. Dogs, who through no fault of their own, have been neglected and discarded. All pets featured on this page may be applied for using the MAPR adoption application,unless otherwise noted on the the pets bio. For many, there will also be local contact numbers or emails for you to obtain more information about the pets featured, or an adoption application from our sister rescue organizations.

Angel was brought to me emaciated and only 4 lbs. She was found on the side of the road when she was only one week old. She was kept with someone for two weeks and did not eat. She was than given to someone else for two weeks and did not eat. They did not know she was not eating because she was in with other puppies. When I got her she was on deaths door. After teaching her how to eat and drink she is now a healthy 18 week old happy puppy. She is up to date on her shots and have been spayed.  Angel loves to travel, she is house trained and loves kids and other dogs.  She will do best in a home with a fenced in yard so she can go out to play. Angel is now 25 lbs. and is looking for a loving family of her own. If you are interested in adopting Angel she is with her rescue family in Durham, NC.

Fostered in the Durham, N.C. area.

Latte is 4 yrs. old and is living in Durham, NC. Latte is believed to be a pug/peke/beagle mix. She was rescued from a high kill shelter. She is crate, house trained and loves kids. She gets along with other dogs and would like to be in a forever home. Latte is spayed and up to date on her shots and had a dental. If you would lile to have her as a part of your family contact Maddie at matgar793@hotmail.com for an application.  NO SMALL CHILDREN AND FENCED YARD REQUIRED.

 

 

ORIGINAL BIO-     What better way to keep warm on these crisp fall days than with a litte Latte!  This little pug/mystery mix is a VERY friendly girl.  She is up-to-date on all her vaccines and will be spayed soon.  She is estimated to be 4-5 years, and loves to be the center of everyone's attention.  The jury is still out on her heritage; she is definitely half pug and has the short stubby legs and long body of a Pekingnese but the coloring and tail of a Beagle.  She could quite possibly be a mix of all three.  One thing is for sure -- this blended lady is a wonderful girl with all the pug qualities that we all love so much.  Latte also gets along with other dogs and is working on her house manners.  If you are interested in adopting Latte, be sure to fill out an application and ask for her by name.

FOSTERED IN DURHAM, N.C.
 
UPDATE, NOVEMBER 30, 2009- If you would like to adopt Nadia, email Maddie at: matgar793@hotmail.com  for an application.
Nadia has completed heartworm treatment and is will be spayed.  She is a wonderful dog who likes children and does well with dogs her size.  She does NOT do well with smaller dogs and will not be placed in a home that has any small pets.  Nadia is ready for her forever home.... 
UPDATE, OCTOBER 22, 2009
 
Please be sure to read Nadia's incredible rescue story in her original bio, posted below!
 
Now that Nadia is with her foster family, she is receiving her heartworm treatment and is doing well.  MAPR is sure this beautiful, sweet girl is destined for something remarkable.  Her initial rescuers were also able to share what they learned about her personality.  Nadia is good with children of all ages, and was very patient with a one year old and loved the teenagers in the home!!  She bonded quickly with the grandmom and slept on her bed at night.  Nadia is very shy when she first meets a stranger but does not have any aggression and eventually will warm up.  Being the young dog that she is, Nadia would definitely benefit from obedience training, something MAPR strongly recommends for her once she is in her forever home.  Her current fosters will continue to work with her, but training will need to be continued.  Nadia LOVES human food, so don't leave any lying around or it won't be there when you come back. She is learning that the only food she gets is her doggie blend!   Trash cans need to be covered, as she loves to look for goodies in them.  She has just never been taught what is o.k., but is an extremely smart, willing student!!  Finally, being the spirited lass that she is, if she gets off leash, she is gone like the wind and will not come on command.preferring to return on her on terms.  For this reason, Nadia will only be placed in a home with a FENCED YARD.  She loves to walk on a leash.  Nadia loves her crate and seems to enjoy sleeping in it.  She is partially housetrained and is working hard on that aspect of her training as well.
 
Nadia will be available for adoption when her heartworm treatment is complete.
 
 
 
ORIGINAL BIO
Hi All, 
My name is NADIA and while I know I am not a pug, but I have become an 'Honorary Pug', and my story, while truly just starting, is already an AMAZING one. 
I was noticed in a shelter in Waycross,GA by volunteers who immediately recognized that I was too sweet and wonderful to be euthanized. 
A network of rescuers and volunteers were trying to find a way for me to be saved, but were not having much luck. Then, my photo and story came across the desk of a MAPR volunteer (the president, Mary, who happens to be a huge sucker for a story like mine ---grin). 
The shelter I was in could not hold me any longer---my time was up with a death time of 4pm. There were no local foster homes to be found. MAPR reached out to another wonderful MAPR person, Mr. George Sloan. I hear he has adopted several pugs and is wonderful. I hope to meet him some day. 
Mr. Sloan called a boarding facility in Waycross GA, and arrranged to have me boarded until a transport could be arranged to a foster home 2 states away! 
With ONLY ONE HOUR LEFT BEFORE THE GAS CHAMBER....a volunteer scooped me up and drove me to the boarding facility! 
AND AGAIN A MIRACLE HAPPENED... Mary was talking with yet another volunteer, Julie, and mentioned the transport need. JULIE'S HUSBAND WAS IN WAYCROSS!!!!. He came to the boarding facility this morning and brought me to his home here. 
He says I am thin, but of course I am very sweet. He will be bringing me to Durham in a couple of weeks, so that I can begin my heartworm treatment (yes, sadly I tested positive, but I am keeping hope in my heart too!)
 
So many people, strangers to each other, came together to save my life. I AM TRULY A RESCUE STORY-----AND THE STORY HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN----STAY TUNED  FOR UPDATES ON MY PROGRESS!!!

Hi, I'm Pete!
 
My owner, unfortunately, had to go to an assisted living home in Florida and could not take me or my brother Damon (a diabetic cat) with him. Luckily, Damon just got a home with a lady who was so happy to find a cat like him!  I know he has a great place to live. Now, if only I could find a place. I am around 8 years old, blind (due to cataracts, which is totally corectable ) and partially deaf. I would love to find someone who will be willing to give me  the love, attention and vet care I deserve. 

My friends here say I am simply a WONDERFUL guy, and they hate that I have to live in a cage, but I know I am safe here until I can find my new family.  I truly am one in a million, and have the heart and spirit of a true companion!
 
If you feel you are the right person to welcome Pete into your life, please contact his rescuer directly.  This is not an MAPR dog.  Michael Marine               910 458-3000      . Email carolinabeachaha@bellsouth.net

Hi - my name is Pollie and I LOVE to give kisses!  I am really hoping that someone helps me find my furever home really soon. I'm not sure why I'm still in my foster home - I'm a really sweet girl and my foster mom says that I always make her feel better when she has had a bad day. I weigh about 50 lbs.

I would love to go to a home where I could get ALL the attention. I have been a little spoiled at my foster home because my mom lets me sleep with her every night. She says I’m as quite as a mouse all night long.  She also says I’m being spoiled, but whatever it is – I like it! 

I like to go on walks and I'm very content laying around and being with my human. I'm very gentle when taking treats and love to have my belly rubbed. Won't you please give me a chance to love you and be loved?  You can see additional pictures and videos of me at www.nobleshepherdrescue.com.

I am a 2 yr. old male Chihuahua sentenced to the gas chamber. Why, I don't know. I am blind,  I was infested with fleas, had intesinal parasites and I was emaciated when found on the side of the road fending for myself.   When anyone tried to handle me I bit them because I felt so bad.... so, off to the shelter to be gassed I went!!!!. I was rescued and was brought right to the vet to be neutered and brought up to date on my vaccines. My rescue mom wormed me and got rid of the bad boys in my intestines. She also got rid of all the fleas. I am being fed well to put weight on me. I love my rescue mom and I do not bite anymore. I live in Durham, NC and my rescue mom she would like to find a special family for me. If you are that family contact: Maddie at matgar793@hotmail.com for an application.
