ADOPTION OR RESCUE NEEDED FOR THE FOLLOWING DOGS: 9/01/10 - Chester, PA: URGENT Ming is a 13 year old female in need of a new home. Ming is a full bred shar-pei (we have her papers) and even though she is 13, she is still very lively and in a lot of ways still part of my family. She had been given to family whom live in an apartment where size of the dog is restricted and they can no longer keep her. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She is crate trained and housetrained and gets along with other dogs. She is currently staying with a friend, but can only stay there for a week( until Sept 7). Please email Kerri Cooper or call 610-405-1650 or 484-467-3514 for more information. 8/31/10 - Covington, KY: Zane went to a wonderful foster home 2 weeks ago. He was neutered and utd on his shots. He was doing great, his hair is beginning to grow back and his skin is much better. He had a hormonal condition which caused his hair loss! Neutering helped a lot, and his foster mom has been treating his skin condition with melatonin, vitamin e and good food. He is much happier, and very friendly with people, very sweet and gentle. But unfortunately, he and the young male dog got into a tiff and Zane bit the young dog's leg. Now Zane has to find a new home. His original owner was a drunk and didn't spend a dime on his condition, very sad, he is 8 years old. Any help with this boy is greatly appreciated! Please email Deb Miller or call Zane's current foster mom Erica at 859-816-3852 for more information. 8/31/10 - URGENT: 3-4 year old fawn male named Big Boy is in need of a new home in northern Virginia near Winchester, VA, by Friday, September 3rd. His owner is moving and cannot take him with, but he's very friendly and loves children, and came from another home that had multiple dogs. The owner surrendering is Elizabeth Garrett at 540-247-8658 if you know anyone that would be interested in adopting Big Boy. 8/29/10 - Jackson Twp, Ocean County, NJ: We need your help on where to start to find a good home for our female Shar-Pei, "Our Ginger Girl " (chestnut color) full of wrinkle face and a real sweetheart... she will be 5 yrs. old in Nov.6th 2010. We have come to the very sad resort of letting her go, as we are unable to afford her care/food etc. We have asked family & friends, though without success, due to them already having pets. We greatly fear, if we were to give her over to an agency, they may put her down. We have given up many things to try not to do this, but with the our loss of our job (my husband lost his job in June, and I lost mine in Jan) and trying to keep up w/ our mortgage, huge medical bills & our son's college tuition...well do I need say, more? Prior to Ginger, please know we also had a beautiful fawn Shar -Pei, our "Pandy-Girl" who we also loved dearly, and miss greatly...she lived to be 14 yrs, old in Aug 2004. Please email Debby McNamara for more information. 8/29/10 - Albuquerque, NM: I found this dog around 4:30pm today on Bridge (west of Coors) just wandering (right after a major rain storm)...I'm told she's a female, perhaps a shar pei cross with german shepard. I cannot keep a dog as I have two cats and frankly don't know the first thing about keeping a dog. Please, please, help me find some organization or person who will take her. No chip, no collar. Very gentle with me and with others whom I've shown her too. Please email Christina Gonzalez or call (505) 833-4326 for more information. 8/29/10 - Arizona: I'm trying to place 2 sharpei of my roomates who is in the hospital and she's going to a retirement place. Her family will put the dogs down if I don't find them a home. Blonde is not fixed cream about 4 and Remy is not fixed either. I've called around here and no one will take the because they don't get along with other dogs. They are very affection toward men and women and kids so if you can call me at 623-336-0988, I'm will to drive to take them somewhere. 8/24/10 - Concord, NC: I have a shar pei named Duke. I got him for free from the flea market about 4 months ago. I couldn't leave him there, as I think they were going to get rid of him permanently. He has some eye problems and requires the entropion eye surgery. As we have researched the breed, we have come to find out that we cannot afford to take care of him the way he needs to be taken care of. He needs to be on a special diet to keep him from smelling and he also needs to be properly house trained. He has the peeing problem when you pet him. We have tried the common methods and have gotten some success but we don't have the time to do it properly all the time. He has all of his shots and he has been fixed. He is fun loving and loves kids. He is very protective and challenges people when they walk by our house. He's not overly aggressive toward strangers, but he gets up and stares them down. He is a cool dog. Please email Ralph Schaber for more information. 8/24/10 - Atlanta, GA: We need help finding a good home for my mothers Sharpei. My mom passed away in May and we have been keeping her dog but now we need to leave to go back to Pennsylvania and cannot take LiLi with us. She is an excellent dog, very loving and gentle. We are desperate to find a good home for her. Please, if you know of anyone, let us know. My name is Debra Van Vliet and my phone number is 678 662-9300. 8/19/10 - Georgetown, TX: The following Shar-Peis are needing rescuing from the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Georgetown, (Central) Texas - Huey: 2 year old male, ID# 11193483 and Brusky: 2 year old male, found as stray ID# 10920173. Please email Pamela Morgan with other information needs as I am the volunteer rescue coordinator for the shelter. 8/17/10 - Sparta, KY: This dog is at the Gallatin county animal shelter. We, the took him to the vet, they say he just needs to get neutered and the skin condition will be cleared up which we are getting done this week. He needs a new home as the owners are alcoholics that ignore their animals illnesses and conditions. Please email Deborah Miller for more information. 8/17/10 - Stillwater, MN: Mabel is an 8-9 year old female that's lost her owner. My 55 year old aunt died suddenly leaving my 84 year old grandmother with three of her dogs, one of them a shar pei named Mabel. Mabel is 8 or 9, in good health, spayed and seems to be well trained (I have spent many hours with her recently while at my grandmother's house and she follows me around, sniffs at me, barks just a bit when there is a knock at the door), but has never spent time with children and seemed a bit skittish when presented with a spirited four year old. We would of course prefer not to bring Mabel to an animal shelter, but any relocation of Mabel needs to happen soon. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please email Jodelle Zinschlag Dougherty or call 651-341-9933 for more information. 8/16/10 - Riverside, CA: adult female stray. Apparently she was found a couple of weeks ago and she was staying at his friends house to see if they could find owners...of course no owners showed for her. She is a sweet girl and would hate to see her have to go to the pound. She was found running the streets in Riverside. They estimate her to be a young dog. Please contact Dennis Cano at 951-514-0780 for more information. 8/16/10 - LaPlace, LA: Cloud is a 30 - 35 lbs., two year old female currently at the St. John Animal Shelter in Laplace, Louisiana. The St. John Animal Shelter is a high kill shelter. The animals at the shelter only see a veterinarian if they are adopted, or for euthanasia. Cloud is on the euthanasia list and she has such a loving disposition, that the shelter staff does not want to put her down. A volunteer brought her to see Dr. Thiac, with the LaPlace Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Thiac reports that Cloud looks like a purebred Shar Pei; she tested negative for heartworms, fecal is negative and she is not spayed. The bad news is that both eyes have entropia and she will need surgery to prevent her from becoming blind. Please contact the shelter manager, Linda Allen at 985-651-7387 or cell: 504-329-1863, email: lfasm@rtconline.com . In addition, Traci Musso, cell: 985-703-1466, email: getpets@gmail.com; is a shelter volunteer that may be able to assist with putting together a transport or be able to answer any other questions you may have regarding Cloud's personality. We know that she is good with other dogs and loves people. 8/10/10 - Springfield, MA: Linus, approximately 2 year old neutered male. We do not believe he is good with dogs or cats. He needs bilateral entropion repair. His fur has started to fall out at an alarming rate here at the shelter. We started a fungal culture and started him on a limited ingredient diet yesterday. Due to his body being continuously under stress in our hectic shelter environment, we do not think he will get well easily. With people, he is an adorably silly, outgoing boy. He loves everyone immediately with no suspicion. Please email Pam Peebles for more information. 8/10/10 - Birmingham, AL: My fiance, who is a police officer, found this pup we're calling "Bo" on the back side of nowhere a few months ago. Anyway, this pup chased his patrol car, and when it didn't look as if Rick would stop, he just sat down in the middle of the road. When a car came going the other way, Bo repeated this process. Rick's heart broke, so he stopped and Bo ran up to him and launched himself into Rick's arms. He was skinny, and a bit dehydrated, but otherwise all right. Rick wouldn't take him to the dog pound because they would have "put him down" within two days. We've had him ever since, but with the idea we would find him a home because we can't give him what he needs in our present situation. He has had all his shots, been neutered, and treated for that mange that only Shar Pei's get and looking really good. His personality is a hoot, also. I swear he is trying to learn how to talk! Please email Linda Maloy or call (205)223-9538 for more information. 8/09/10 - Network Update: due to the increased number of older pei being surrendered or found in shelters, we've dedicated a special page to Senior Pei in memory of our own beloved senior pei we've lost this year. 8/06/10 - Phoenix, AZ: 6 year old spayed shar pei. I am losing my home and need to find a home for this great dog. I do not want to take her to the humane society. I appreciate your assistance. Please email Barbara Harris or call 602-463-4530 for more information. 8/03/10 - Grand Isle, NE: My name is Amber Andelt. I work at a vet clinic in Grand Island, Nebraska. We have an 8 year old shar pei in need of home. Her owner is an older women that can't handle her anymore. The dog pulls on her shoulder but with us at the clinic she does just fine. Please contact us at 308-384-1641 clinic number or my cell phone 402-641-7896. 8/02/10 - Lansing, MI: My name is Jessica and I am the Kennel Coordinator at the Capital Area Humane Society. We recently took in 11 dogs from a hoarding case in Indiana. These dogs were living in a trailer with approximately 80 other dogs and have not had the proper socialization or love needed. Out of the 11 dogs we have 1 Sharpei mix that is very scared, however wants to be friendly just not so sure what to do or how to act. She just sits in her run and growls and shakes. In the last couple days she has gone from wanting nothing to do with me to sniffing me, licking my hand and even scooting closer to me when I kneel down in her kennel to be pet (however still shaking) Unfortunately we do not have the staff or resources to work with her and she is too scared to be in a shelter. They have allowed me a couple days to try and find a rescue for her and I feel that this dog at least deserves a chance at a decent life. Therefore I am emailing you because I was curious as to if this is something you would be able to take at your rescue? We would spay her before she left so that would be all taken care of. I would even be willing to transport her myself! Please email Jessica Lockwood if you can help. 7/29/10 - St. George, SC: I got a call last night from someone who has 2 sharpei that need homes. They are here is St. George, SC. She has been boarding them for the past year and a half for a guy who got transferred to NY. He is a border patrol officer. He can't find a place to live with them cause it is too expensive there. So he is at the point that he needs to find them another home. They are looking for a shelter or rescue that could take them. If they end up in a shelter they will be put to sleep cause they are about 5 or 6 years old. One is a fawn and the other is black, both males. Names are Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. We are thinking of taking Jackie the fawn one but Bruce is kinda a handful for me. He does not tolerate having his nails trimmed, bath or ears looked at. She said he will growl at you. He was on doggie prozac and had a reaction to it. I am sure he would do better on more natural products. These dogs have been together their whole life. Ideally if we could find them a home together that would be great. I can help transport them if needed. We are going to look at them this weekend so I will have pictures then. Let me know if you can help them. Please email Linda Hildbold for more information. 7/26/10 - Phoenix, AZ: I found your site online and I have a female dog who was dumped at the animal hospital where I work a couple of months ago. She is about 2-3 years old. She had had puppies recently and was very thin. She was positive for tick fever and was treated. We think she is a shar pei lab maybe?? So hard to tell. She has the wrinkled face but not the bulk. He coat is a little stiff around her shoulders too which makes us think she may have a shar pei coat, but no skin issues. How's that for luck. Her weight is back and she is happy and full of energy. She gets along great with my pitbulls and is curious around my birds but doesn't really bother them. She does like to chase the bunnies in my yard though. I really need to place her and wondered if you might have anyone interested. I will booster her DHPP here shortly and hope to spay her within this month. If she were to find a home sooner, I could still bring her here and take care of her spay. She is a lover but is short on manners. Likes to jump on you and steal snacks from the trash if you aren't careful. She is clingy to her owner and loves other dogs. Please email Lynda Wittig for more information. 7/26/10 - Raleigh, NC: I am currently working at a small animal clinic in Raleigh, NC that had a 7 month old tan neutered Shar Pei pup surrendered by the owner. He is current on his vaccines. Owner stated he has young kids and the pup is knocking them over. "Tanner" can't help it that he is a happy puppy. He needs so love and puppy class but otherwise seems to be a good dog. We are looking for a home for this little man. Please email Dr. Jones-Bailey for more information. |
