Tango

Hi, my name is Tango!  I am a male Shar-Pei, who came from a shelter after being surrendered with my ears chewed up by flies.  I am learning to trust humans and am eager to please.  I ride well in the car and get along with other dogs and am just happy to be by my “person”.   I am looking for a forever home to call my own.   Won‘t you please consider adopting me?

Sadie

Hi, I'm Sadie!   I am a very sweet chocolate female Shar-Pei located in North Carolina.

Pongo

Hi, I'm Pongo!   I am sweet, two year old boy.   I am a little shy at first, especially with men; but once I get to know you, I am very, very lovable.   My foster Mom says that I am her shadow.   I am being fostered with three young children and I am really good with them.   One thing I don't really care for is cats, so need to find a home without any of those.   I am crate-trained, housebroken, up-to-date on shots and neutered.   Do I sound like the guy for you?   If so, please fill out an application and ask for me, Pongo!

Bubba

Bubba, who was injured in an accident in December, has recovered well enough to be ready for adoption!  Click here for details about his accident and recovery.

My name is Bubba.  My foster mom says that I am the most laid back and handsome Shar Pei that she‘s ever seen!!   I get along great with dogs and would love to have other dogs to play with!  My best friend right now is Rosie, who is also a Shar Pei.  She and I LOVE to play!  Sometimes she gets rough, but I don’t care…I just love to play and have fun!  My other friends are three little kids. They do silly things to me sometimes, and they also like to chase me around the house.  I like them a lot…I also like their crayons at times!  I never complain!

I was a stray, so a house was new to me when I first came into the rescue.  For the first few days, I would not go in the house at all.  But that changed pretty quickly!  I now feel quite at home in a house, and I like it!  If everything is quiet, I might take a nap or explore.  I love being outside too.  I like to sleep on a blanket or rug, but not furniture.  I am house trained and very eager to please. My foster mom will leave me loose in the house when she leaves; I have always been a good dog…I just wait by the door, patiently, until she returns.

I‘m a little shy at first, but I am very quick to become a loyal companion!  Loud noises and tall men scare me sometimes, but hey, I‘m only human!  No wait, “I‘m canine!”  I enjoy leaning on people like a cat and being scratched.  Other things I enjoy: walks, car rides, treats, treats, and more treats.  Oh, did I mention treats?  

I had a little setback with my accident, so had to wait longer than I had hoped for my “furever” home.  Now that I am available for adoption again, won‘t you please consider giving me a forever home?

Cezar

This poor guy, Cezar, has been neglected and abused.  We‘re not sure what happened to his tail. It appears that it may have been inflicted by a person, but our goal is to get him healthy & ready for adoption.   Please check back for more information about Cezar.

Loki/Lucas

Hi.  My name is Loki, but some people call me Lucas - doesn‘t matter to me as long as you don‘t forget to call me for treats.  I LOVE treats, stuffed toys & chewing on my bones.  I only weigh about 42lbs.  I am housebroken, walk nicely on a leash & ride well in the car.  I am pretty laid back and would like a home with another laid back dog or even a home with no other canines.  I also seem to do really well with cats.  I had one eye surgery, but my left eye is still bothering me, so the rescue lady said she was going to take me in to see if I need a little more surgery on that eye. What I want more than anything for Christmas is a home of my very own.  My foster mom is nice, but I‘d like a “furever mom or dad” to call my own.  Did I mention I sit nicely for treats?

Nakita

Hi, my name is Nakita.  I am a sweet, ten year old female chocolate Shar-Pei who is looking for a home because my previous owners faced foreclosure.  I am in a foster home now and have a bit of a sensitive tummy; so my foster mom has me on a bland diet to help with that.  I love to snuggle on my doggie bed and get my head scratched.   I am good with most other dogs, but I do not care for cats.   The vet says I am in great health!

Salsa

Hi, my name is Salsa!  I am an adorable, fawn female horsecoat Shar-Pei who was found stray in Newark, NJ.   I am very petite, weighing only about 30 pounds.   I am an amazingly sweet girl and very people friendly, but would prefer a home where I can be the only dog.  I love to play with stuffed toys and chew on bones.   I have a lot of energy, but settle down after a little play time.  Do I sound like the girl for you?  If so, please fill out an application and ask for Salsa!

Piper

Hi, I‘m Piper, a sweet, black female Shar-Pei who was rescued from a shelter in NC - whew!  I am now in a foster home in Virginia.  I am heartworm positive, so will need heartworm treatment.  I will also need to be spayed and have entropian surgery, so it will be a little while before I am available for adoption.  Please check back for more information about me after I get settled in at my foster home.

Tanner

Adoption Pending

Hi, I'm Tanner, a sweet fawn two year old horsecoat boy who arrived by "air angel" from MD.  That's right, I had a plane ride, which was no problem for me.  My pilot had to wake me up to get me out of the plane in NJ.   I am shown above with Robert, my pilot from Pilots N Paws who flew to MD and back to NJ to save my life.  I am extremely sweet and love to give kisses and play with toys. My whole body wags with joy when I meet new people.  I‘m already housetrained and am living with two male and two female Shar-Pei.  If you are looking for a sweet guy like me to brighten up your life, please fill out an application and ask for Tanner!

Thank you to Pilots N Paws for transporting Tanner!

Duke

Adoption Pending

Hi, my name is Duke!  I am a blue male Shar-Pei that was also rescued from a NC shelter.    I‘m about 2-3 years old.  The shelter folks said that I was well behaved for my exam and sat nicely for treats (who wouldn‘t!!).

Shea

Hi, I‘m Shea!  I am a cute fawn female Shar-Pei.   I am having a good time here in NC with my new foster family.  I am getting along with all of the dogs here - an 85 pound greyhound and two Pei.  I am quite curious about the cats and have chased them; but we are going to work on that.  I stay in my crate all day like the other dogs, and we all go for walks in the evening.  I used to sleep in my crate at night in the kitchen, but I have been so good that I now get to sleep in my dog bed in the bedroom with everyone else.  I now smell good because I have had a bath and kind of liked it.  My skin is good; and from my teeth, they think I am about one year old.  I am good when they put the medicine in my ears.  I didn‘t really know how to play when I got here, but I am learning by watching the other dogs.  There are also dog toys here that I sometimes pick up and play with.  I can‘t wait until I can get my eyes done so I can see better.   Dr. C. said my corneas are clear, so I should be able to see great real soon.  I like to be around my foster mom, and I‘m discovering that I really like people.  They pet me and give me treats and rub my ears and chin - this is all new to me and I love it!  Thank you for rescuing me and Shep.  I have bad knees and will be forever grateful for a “fur-ever” home where I will be loved and cared for.

Shep

Hi, my name is Shep.  I am a mini, fawn, horsecoat Shar-Pei.  I am a little shy and standoffish, but hey, I just got here.  I‘ve been through a LOT lately.  I came all the way from GA.  Whew!   That was a long ride.  I get along great with the dogs that I live with.  It‘s nice to have them around so they can show me stuff.  I let my foster mom clean my ears and put meds in my eyes.  I really don‘t mind at all, in fact, that ear massage felt pretty good.  I am neutered, but unfortunately I have heartworms.  I will be treated for heartworms and get my left eye fixed before I am ready to go to my forever home.   Please fill out an application and ask for Shep.

Teddy Bear

Hi, I'm Teddy Bear, and I got my awesome name because I am plush and soft just like a teddy bear!   My foster mom says that I am "velvety" soft!  I am a big, sweet loveable guy who enjoys hugs and rubs.   I am very mellow and my foster mom says that I am an easy dog to have in the house.   I am experiencing lots of new things at my foster home...like a bed - I was not quite sure what to do with a bed a first, but now I have it figured out - comfy!  Playing with toys was new to me too, but these are great fun; and as you can see from my photos, I love playing with toys!  I like the other dogs here and am having a good time hanging out and playing with them.  I am being introduced to cats slowly; and so far, I think I am being pretty good.  Let's see, what else is new...oh...the doggie door...I am getting used to that contraption.  I used to just go out, but have figured out that I can come in too - cool!  I enjoy being outside and can often be found passed out in the grass or on the patio.

If you are interested in a sweet, loveable (and don‘t forget soft like a teddy bear) guy, please fill out an application and ask for Teddy Bear!

Lea

Hi, I‘m Lea!  My boy Ronnie and I were rescued from a shelter in NC.  Thank you to everyone who helped to get us out of there and up to Virginia safely.  I am a sweet girl and am AKC registered.  I get along well with other dogs.  We just found out that I am heartworm positive, so I will need to be treated for that before I am adopted.  Please check back for more information about me!

Ronnie

Hi, I‘m Ronnie!  My mom, Lea, and I are new here; we just arrived from a shelter in NC.   I am also AKC registered.  I am heartworm positive too, so my mom and I will both need treatment.  I have not been feeling very well...maybe it is all of the traveling and moving from place to place.  Please give me some time to get settled in and check back to see how I am doing.
