Bella was transported by Pilots N Paws to her new home in New Jersey.  She is all settled in, comfy and loved.

Buck

Buck's new family loves him!  He has adapted very well to his new home.   He likes to fetch and likes to be cuddled.  He LOVES to sit on the couch with his family and watch TV - it‘s very funny.

Willow

Willow is doing great!  She has put on a few pounds and has made herself right at home.  Her and Oscar have become good companions and are almost always by each other‘s side :)

Emmy and Chance

Emmy and Chance were both adopted from Shar-Pei Rescue of Virginia.  Their Pei parents bring them to fundraising events to help raise money for other Pei in need.  Emmy and Chance wear donation collection vests and are great ambassadors for the breed as people of all ages get to meet these two sweeties.  Emmy starred in the Shar-Pei segment of the Dogs 101 show on Animal Planet.

Peaches

Look at Peaches!  She loves the yard at her "furever" home.  Her new family loves her!

Willis

Hello, my name is Willis!  I was adopted back in February 2011!  My story is kind of funny, actually.  At the time, I was living with my foster parents and they had a visit from their daughter and her husband.  I was so glad to meet them and it turns out they really liked me!  Next thing I knew, I was being adopted!  It is so wonderful because not only do I now have a great home, but I still get to see my foster parents a lot.

In my new home, I have a brother!  His name is Bishop, and he was also rescued just like me (although he is not a Shar-Pei).  He is my best friend, and we get along really great and do everything together!  Our yard is fenced in so we can run around and play, except I do not like when it is rainy and wet outside.  Everyone tells me I have filled out nicely, and my vet says I look great and am really healthy.  I love my new mommy and daddy; they take great care of me!  I am even learning how to cuddle!  My parents have lots of friends over too.  At first I was a little unsure about strangers, but now I love people and get excited when mommy and daddy have friends over.  The best part is it means even more attention for me and Bishop (and sometimes I even get presents like new toys or treats)!

Mommy and Daddy always say that I completed their family, and I am so happy with them here!

Blue

A very hap-pei Blue is making himself at home in his “furever” home in North Carolina!

Murphy

Murphy is all settled in at his new home in New York, where he has a Pei sibling, Ming.  The adorable smushy faced Murphy looks great and is obviously loved and hap-pei!

Finster (previously Corona)

Corona, adopted in 2009, has a new name, Finster.  He has been a life saver for his 13 year old Pei sibling, Butler, who is blind.  They enjoy car rides and walks to the park together.   Finster is a loyal and protective Pei and is loved dearly.

Meikah

Meikah came into rescue as a tiny pup with her littermates.  She is now living happily with her new Pei siblings in Virginia Beach.  She is shown in the pictures with Bubba (fawn), Lei Lei (lilac), and Lady (Rotti-Pei mix).   Lady crossed the Rainbow Bridge in June of 2011.

Jake (aka Rebel)

Rebel has settled in at his new home in Maryland and has a new name, Jake, to start off his new life. He mastered the doggie door on day one and gets along fine with his canine sibling, Gigi. Jake loves to play with his toys, play tug of war with Gigi, and sleep!  He also sticks to his new Mom like glue.

Update 12/28/2011:  Jake‘s Mom sent us a holiday update with some cute new photos.  He has learned how to sit and lay on command, he comes when called and has learned how to give his paw.  He also went to get groomed and he did GREAT!  He‘s a very smart boy :)

Cassie

Cassie is a very hap-pei girl in her wonderful new home in Vermont where they love her to pieces!

Phoenix (Previously Bubba)

Bubba is now named Phoenix and is enjoying life traveling with his new family!

Dapple (aka Lola) and Satchel (aka Denny)

Dapple and Satchel are doing really, really well.  I‘m sure that Dapple has put on at least ten pounds since we picked her up in May.  It‘s hard to believe this is the same sad little pooch curled up on the concrete floor at the shelter.  She‘s definitely our sentry and barks the alarm when she hears something unusual or sees someone through the fence who may just be trying to steal her cookies.  Dapple and Satchel are both getting along well with big sisters Marble and Orfin and have a playdate every week with our friends‘ dog, Sushi, which leaves everyone dead tired with their tongues hanging out!

We‘re so glad that her sister, Olivia, found a forever home and that Dapple/Lola is with us.  It‘s a win-win-win!!

Beatrice

Beatrice is all settled in at her new home in Pennsylvania, and she is doing great.  She had a great adventure with Pilots N Paws who flew her from her foster home in Virginia to Pennsylvania.  Bea sent this cute note to her foster parents:

Dear Foster Mom & Dad,

Just thought you might like to know I‘m doing really well.  Sam and I get along great.  He purrs when I lick him.  Carol still won‘t leave us together if she has to go out, I don‘t think she trusts Sam.  I have a new canine friend.  His name is Max, he is a Pomeranian.  He lives next door.  His people work all day, and he was alone and barked all day, so we started taking him for walks with us.  We get along pretty good.  I have an adopted grandma that lives two houses away.  She cooks bones for me.  I get a new bone about every 2 or 3 days.  We give the old ones to Carol‘s grand dog Tiny, a pit bull.  Most of the people in the neighborhood know my name.  They talk to me as we walk by.  It‘s pretty nice having my own home and my own person.  Thank You for taking me in and getting me ready for my forever home!

~ Love Beatrice
