Woody

Woody

Woody was rescued from a high kill shelter in SC when he was 12 weeks old.  He was almost completely bald because he had such bad demodex and could not stop scratching.  He had open cuts all over his body and was not given enough food and nutrients growing up, so his front legs were bent and weak to the point that he could only crawl short distances.  He was scared of humans and had no idea what is was like to be petted.

Woody is on Ivermectin for his demodex, and it has cleared up nicely.  His coat has filled in, and the scratching has subsided. His legs have straightened out, and now he he can run and jump and loves to be petted. Woody is very social now and loves to give kisses, cuddle on the bed, sleep by the fire, and play outside.  His favorite toy is a squeeky tennis ball and his favorite game is chasing the laser light.

Woody will need to be treated for the demodex for several more months. (it‘s not contagious so don‘t worry). His legs are still a bit bowed, but he is able to get around like a normal dog now.  

Woody will make a GREAT dog for anyone and is a TRUE rescue dog.  Woody was in misery when he came to us, but now he is happy and full of life.  You will never find a more grateful dog than him...he knows. He is UTD on shots, wormed, current on all his preventatives, crate trained, and working on house training(doing well). He is about 6-7 months old and about 35 lbs.

Turkey

Turkey

Turkey was rescued from a high kill shelter in SC when he was 12 weeks old.  He was almost completely bald because he had such bad demodex and could not stop scratching himself raw.   He had open sores all over his body, and you couldn‘t pet him because it would hurt his skin.   He still wanted to show affection though, so he would give “eskimo kisses”.  That‘s right.   Turkey doesn‘t lick, he gives eskimo kisses instead (nose to nose).  When he first came in, he had no idea what toys were, had no clue what to do with a bone, and, at first, would tremble in fear if you came near him.

Now Turkey‘s coat has filled in nicely, and he doesn‘t scratch anymore.   He loves to run and play in the backyard, snuggle up on the bed, and LOVES LOVES LOVES to get a good ear rubb‘n!   He gets along with pretty much anything, and has a perfect happy-go-lucky attitude now.

Turkey is crate trained, paper trained, working on housetraining, UTD on shots, dewormed, on his preventatives, and continuing on his treatments for the demodex (it‘s not contagious).

Turkey will make anyone extremly happy because he is a one of a kind fellow, with a golden heart, and always has a grateful look in his eyes.  Every day is a gift for this one, and he lives life to the fullest now. Turkey is a true rescue dog...now he needs a family to fall in love with him.   Turkey is about 35 lbs now, and about 6-7 months old.

Morris

Morris

Meet Morris!  This handsome boy was found wandering in NJ.  We attempted to find out if a family was missing him, but no one came to claim him.  He is about 2-3 years old and is a pure bred Shar Pei.  He is sweet and has been great with everyone he has come in contact with.  He can be aloof with new people and has a calm demeanor, both traits which are typical for this breed of dog.  Morris has been boarding and has been a clean camper.  He is quiet when dogs walk past his kennel, and he has been interacting with a few dogs and seems ok and shows little interest.

Morris will be updated with all vaccines and neutered prior to adoption.  Morris is located in West Milford, NJ.   If you are interested in meeting this boy, please email donnalastresort@gmail.com.

Two Pei Mixes

Two Shar-Pei Lab Mixes

Three eight month old Shar-Pei mixes were found as newborns, along with their mother, in a wooded area one icy cold day.  Their mom is a purebred Shar Pei and has gone to a rescue.   The pups have been staying in temporary living quarters for several months. They live in a fenced in area and have food, water, and shelter; but they need homes and people to love them.  They are vaccinated and spayed/neutered.

One of the pups has been adopted - Yeah!  Pictured above are the remaining two.  The top picture is a male and the bottom is a female.

Their temporary caregiver needs to find a home for these dogs.   They have an SPCA (no kill) that has no room for these dogs and a county shelter (high kill) that would be a last resort.  These dogs deserve better. Since they are Shar Pei mixes, someone that loves Shar Peis would love their breed characteristics.

Hextall

Hextall

Hi! My name is Hextall!  I am a big beautiful eight month old Shar-Pei mix puppy.  I‘m smarter than your average pup because I am already house broken, crate trained, and know my basic commands.  I am currently working on honing all of my good dog skills, and I am doing really well!  I even have a couple of extra special tricks up my sleeve.  Some of my favorite things in life are running, swimming, playing, and kids!  I like dogs and currently live with five other dogs.  I enjoy making friends but I also like to take my introductions slowly; but once we build a friendship, we will be friends forever!  My foster mommy thinks I can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but I am trying really hard to grow up to be a perfect angel!  I like to use my smarts in positive ways.  So, if you are a good leader and would love a good activity buddy, I‘m your guy!

If you are interested in adopting me, please visit www.ringdogrescue.org to fill out an application online.  I‘m already fully vetted.

Peyton

Peyton

My name is Peyton (female).  While I‘m still young at about eight months old and love to have fun and explore, I also need to be taught what‘s right and wrong.  Right now I live with other dogs (I seem to do better with the laid back male dogs in the home vs. the females) and two kids; however, from what I hear the people say, I really need a home that will continue with proper training and socializing with other dogs and people throughout my life.  You see, I‘m a bit strong willed.  My foster parents know I need structure and need to be told what they expect from me, or I have the thought to do it my way.  My family is working with me now on my manners with others, including sharing toys and bones and also the basics like sit, stay, and “leave it”.  They say these are a must!

I‘m really a great dog and will make a great family member as long as you are willing to guide me through my life.   You should note that I‘m not the best choice if you live in a apartment or condo as I‘m very alert to noise and sounds and will alert you to what I hear.  I‘m still very much a puppy and like to run and play and have a lot of typical puppy needs.  I do fine in the bath and even let the little ones help with that, but I don‘t like to have my nails done so we leave that to the groomers.  I know I‘m just as cute as I can be, but note that I will need to be adopted by a family with experience with my breeds, or have owned a power breed in the past, and will keep up with the training I have started.

If you are interested in adopting me, please visit www.ringdogrescue.org to fill out an application online.  I‘m already fully vetted.

For more information, please call 434.591.0123 or email director@fspca.org.

Nolin

Nolin

Nolin is a large (85 lbs) Shar-Pei mix found in the Nolin Lake area.  He loves to play ball and has also been around a few children and loves them.  His foster mom says “He is soo soo soo sweet - truly so sweet, he is a lover! ”

Nolin is currently being fostered near Louisville, KY.  He will be neutered, heartworm tested and vaccinated by his rescuer and will be all set for his new life with a loving family.   For more information, please email beccajlindsay@yahoo.com.

Manny

Manny

Manny has been at the Liberty Humane Society shelter since August.  He is a handsome, strapping young fellow of about 1-2yrs.   He needs what every dog needs: a balanced diet, exercise, training, attention, love.   Unfortunately, Manny came from a bully situation - so he is not comfortable with other dogs and cats.  We are working on creating positive experiences with him in a public setting so that he grows somewhat more trusting and less afraid.  He should still be the only dog but with encouragement and proper training, his fixations can be tempered.  Sometimes, Manny can get overly excited and accidentally head butt you with his big noggin - especially if he‘s trying to jump in your LAP.  He‘s convinced he‘s a lap dog.   His is eager and VERY smart, he‘ll happily learn new commands with treats.  He looooooooooooooves treats!  Right now he knows sit, down, paw and we‘re working on other tricks to show off!  He likes very long walks and if you sit still for too long, he might bark to say,  “Let‘s go!” He doesn‘t show much attention to toys and hasn‘t been tested around children. He doesn‘t mind bicycles or runners or loud noises (think, the light rail passing in front of you!)  He‘s very observant and likes to watch others at play and passerbys and he really likes to wiggle his butt into you and be warm and snuggly :)

Update from Manny‘s best friend at the shelter: Manny and I went hiking on Friday, December 30th at Mill Creek Marsh and then walked around the plaza.  He did great!   He really enjoyed sniffing EVERYthing and didn‘t care for the birds or other animals.  He enjoyed peering down at the water and looking over the bridge. Afterwards, he sat in a girls lap and licked another little boy.  It‘s funny because he‘s drawn to a certain family and goes to them.   His tail wags and he even pulls me to them.  Other people we can pass by and he‘ll sniff but not care at all. He‘s good in the car, doesn‘t care about loud noises, no prey drive, I took his food and he didn‘t care, he knows touch apparently.  He did so so so so well.   I was so proud of him.

This is his petfinder profile: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/20976738.

Liberty Humane Society is located in Jersey City, NJ.   For more information, please call the shetler at 201-547-4147 x9.

Lilly

Lilly

Lilly is a 2 year old Shar-Pei who had a rough start in life.  She was found wandering along Flagler Street in Miami over a year ago with terrible skin condition when a good samaritan picked her up and brought her home.  Lilly loves all people, AND IS GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS. Without any contacts or a rescue to take her, the good Samaritan has been holding on to her for a year.  She lives in a crate most of the day.  It is a sad existence for poor Lilly.  We are looking for a home for Lilly where she can be doted on by her family and loved forever.

Lilly is currently located in south Florida, but can be transported.   For more information or if you want to meet Lilly, please call 305 401 4693 or email KLCremer@aol.com.

Snorkle

Snorkle

This is Snorkle, named for her cute little Pei sounds.  She was found on a front porch curled up in a cat bed.   Thankfully the people that found her are trying to find her a home.  From the condition of her coat, it looks like she did not receive proper care for a long time.

She is very sweet.  The vet thinks she is around 5-6 years old.  She is being treated for ear infections and skin infection, but she has no parasites.  She was thin and dehydrated but is eating well and has snapped back. She has had three baths and her skin is much improved too.

Her rescuers have been treating her eye which was bulging.  The vet assumed she was blind in the eye that was enlarged, but the eye seems to be less bulging since she has been getting medication for it.

She goes on long walks about six times a day and is very good on a leash.  She is alway happy to come out of her kennel and equally happy to go back in. She is very interested in other dogs but has not seemed agressive with them.

Snorkle is currently located in Aiken, South Carolina.  She needs a good home looking for a sweet Shar-Pei. She will be a great companion for the lucky person who adopts her!   For more information, please email christydouglas@hotmail.com.

Lilly

Lilly

Lilly is an approximately 10 month old Shar Pei mix at the Islip Animal Shelter in New York.   Lilly needs either a foster or permanent home to help her out.   She is a sweet affectionate girl that is fairly active and playful. She knows her obedience well and walks nicely on the leash.  She is a very happy girl that just loves to play. She loves toys and loves to run around with them in her mouth.  She is a very confident girl that could use an experienced dog person to help her become a well-behaved girl.  She is very intelligent and easy to teach - she loves treats too!
