NEW EMAIL! Contact by email here - cindy@maprescue.org

Phone calls accepted on the Rescue line between 9AM and 4PM Eastern time - 410.963.0079

Please limit phone calls to essential conversations. We are so very busy. Thank you.

We are extending our adoption distance to include most of PA, eastern Ohio, NY, NJ. but keep in mind that we do not ship dogs; you must come see the dog in person.

Please note: Most but not all dogs are posted on the website. We ask people to submit an application. And fill it out COMPLETELY. Tell us what you are looking for in a dog, specifically what size dog. Tell us about your house and your yard. If you have children, please tell us how old your children are. We will place puppies under 5 months old (puppy teeth) in homes with younger children. Inquiries welcome.

Like many other rescue groups, MAPR is staggering under the overwhelming number of dogs being surrendered. We are not closed to intake, but we are having to schedule intake. If you need to surrender your dog, please contact us and we will work with you as best as we can. We want to help as many dogs and their people as is possible.

If you have requested an application and have not heard back, CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER! The applications are attachments and some seem to be going to SPAM. We are going through applications as quickly as possible. We want our dogs to go home!

If you have already applied, send an email stating your interest to cindy@maprescue.org

A word about the puppymill/dog farm dogs: these dogs were NEVER anyone’s beloved pets. They were treated like livestock; they produced puppies for the farms where they lived. And when the farmer was finished with them, they were given away. So these are the dogs that need the most time and patience. But they come around. And they love you. Fenced yards help. Another dog in the house helps.

Things to consider BEFORE you adopt:

1) Make sure your house is ready for a dog. Put away precious breakable objects.

2) Check your fence line for any holes or broken sections from which a dog could escape. (Hopefully you have a fenced yard!)

3) Collect the necessities - baby gates, crates, food dishes, dog bed

Remember - No adult dog can be placed in a home with children under the age of 6.

There are dogs waiting to come in - a pair of cavapoo males, a group of Mini females, a maltipoo female, a Bernedoodle and several Standard Poodles. See the NEW COURTESY POSTS PAGE for pictures of the dogs waiting.

If you have sent an application in the past, and are still interested in adopting, please send an email to cindy@maprescue.org and let us know. The volume of dogs needing help these days is simply overwhelming.

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE AVAILABLE DOGS!

There are Standard Poodle puppies available. They are currently 12 weeks old. We will place puppies in homes with children.

Daisy and Peach

These young Standard Poodle girls came from a very sad situation. Their people had lost their jobs and were in a very difficult financial situation, so we stepped up to help. The girls are very sweet. They are about 9 months old and current on all vaccinations. They should be spayed after their first heat cycle. We would like to place Daisy with Luigi and Peach with Mario.
Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Chase

Chase was pulled from a shelter in PA. He is neutered and current on all vaccines. He is microchipped. He is becoming more confident and outgoing with kind and gentle handling. Chase can be reactive and will need time and patience. He is a good boy but needs time to warm up to new people. He would probably do best in a home with a fenced yard, no children. He was very good for grooming.
Adoption fee $500. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Sunny

Sunny is a young phantom-marked Standard Poodle. He is microchipped and current on all vaccinations. He has not yet been neutered. Sunny will require a home with a fenced yard and people who are around a good bit as he drinks a lot and so has to go potty a lot. He has been thoroughly vetted. Adoption fee $1000 with a $250 refund when he is neutered. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Kobe

Kobe is a 6 year old neutered male Standard Poodle. He is being lovingly fostered in NC (NC applicants - this one’s for you!) He is current on all vaccines. His housemanners are impeccable but he does not like to go potty on lead, so a fenced yard is essential. He is currently living with other dogs and children. He is good for grooming.
Adoption fee $450. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Princess Peach

Princess Peach is one of the TN4. She has come a long way in Rescue. She now walks nicely on lead and is learning to be clean in her crate. She is best friends with Mario. They love to play ball together. We would like to place them as a pair. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org

Butch - Labradoodle

Butch is a 4 year old labradoodle. He is neutered, current on all vaccines and microchipped. He weighs 60+ pounds. Walks great on lead. He loves people and other dogs. He does shed, but he sheds less when his coat is kept short as in the photo. Butch is ready for a forever home. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Mario

Mario is one of the TN 4. His best friend is Princess Peach. (see her photo above) They are sweet, happy, friendly Poodles. They are very good on leash. They LOVE to play fetch. They are working on crate—training. We would love to place them as a pair. Adoption fee for each dog is $400. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Mack - this photo made me laugh out loud!

ADOPTED!
Luigi - better photo coming
Julian - Border Collie

Julian is a 1 year old purebred Border Collie. He was surrendered to Rescue because his owner simply was too busy to spend the time this boy. He is super sweet and friendly. Fenced yard Adoption fee $1000 with a $250 refund if the adopter neuters him. inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org
Polly P

Polly P is a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno. This is an unusual AKC purebred dog from the Hound group. There are three varieties; two larger than this one. Pequeno means “small” which you see from the photograph; she is around 20 pounds. She is super sweet and friendly. She does shed but is considered a low shed breed. She is current on vaccines but has yet to be spayed. Adoption fee $750 with a $250 refund if adopter spays her. Inquiries to cindy@maprescue.org

Apollo

It is with a heavy heart that we report that our dear sweet boy, Apollo, lost his struggle with kidney failure. Apollo was a Standard Poodle - Great Pyranees cross that had been purchased for a child as a birthday gift. He was diagnosed as having been born with underdeveloped kidneys before his first birthday. The family decided to give Apollo up to Rescue because they did not want to see him die. We took very good care of Apollo. He lacked for nothing. And at the end of his life, he found a wonderful person to see him over the Bridge. A truly wonderful woman took him and gave him really good time before his huge heart gave out. Run free and well, sweet boy. Until we meet again.
Maybelle, sleeping at home

Maybelle found her angel. She is doing well at this time. We are so happy for her. Such a sweet precious little dog that was dealt a bad hand. But for now, she is loved and warm and happy.
Bear

Rest well dear boy. Until we meet again.
Baxter

Baxter found his angel. We wish him well.
Barry

We took Barry from one of the local shelters, but unbeknownst to us or the shelter, Barry was a very sick little dog. We rushed him to the vet and discovered, to our horror, that Barry was dying. We quietly and gently helped him across the Bridge. Run free and well now little man.
Abby

Abby came to MAPR in the Fall of 2023. Much like Baxter, she has end stage heart disease. But she is doing very well! January marks a one year vet appointment! She is in foster with Cindy.
