About this Pei :

“Honey” is my color but honestly, it’s also my personality! Yes….I am a superstar!! My foster Mom and Dad have told me that the cats that live here don’t share that opinion of me. I guess it’s because I chase them all over until I get scolded!! I’m not even sure what cats are….I thought they were two more furry toys!! Other than that, I am about as sweet as can be and I am so ready to share my wonderfulness with a family where I can play all day long! I just know that someone will take me home with them soon and I will make them as happy as I am!!

About this Pei :

Jackson is a adorable, very friendly, mild mannered little guy.

He is house broken, answers to his name, understands “No”, loves his squeaky toys and of course loves treats!

He has come along way from when he first came to his foster home. Jackson was shy and not sure of his surroundings. He soon understood his foster parents were kind and wanted to give him all the love he deserved. The transformation has been wonderful.

This little guy will be a wonderful addition to their family. He deserves to be loved and can’t wait to meet his fur-ever family.

About this Pei : 

Blue came into rescue due to death of his owner and remaining family unable to provide for his care.  He was kenneled at his vet’s office after owner’s death until he was rescued and moved to a foster home.   Initially, he had a hard time adjusting to his foster home and kept to himself interacting minimally with his foster mom.  “… he would slink around with his tail down.”  He has since come around and his foster mom has this to say about him… “This dog is now happy. He is allowing me to pet him and hug him. He is giving kisses.”

Blue was underweight upon arrival at his foster home but is eating well and gaining weight appropriately.  “Once we take care of his eye, ear and skin infections and put some more weight on this guy he will be a different dog.  He is a great little guy.”

He is a bundle of energy and likes to play fetch or chase with his foster brother. He is very well mannered and is following simple commands. He sleeps next to my elderly mother’s bed, his choice from the first night with our family, so he could learn to be protective as well.

Tigger

NOTES :  
Will be on medical hold initially due to entropion surgery and neuter.  Heartworm negative, vaccines up to date.

About this Pei : 
Tigger is a happy, happy boy! He loves going for walks, does tug on his leash a little bit. He is very affectionate and loves to get rubs from his humans. 🙂 He is housebroken and kennel trained – staying in a kennel while we are gone during the day and to sleep at night. He will chew on ropes some, but so far his favorite “toys” have been the other dogs in the house! 🙂 He is very friendly around new people. We haven’t had him around any small children or male dogs to know how he will act. He did have a brief encounter with a cat, and he barked at it, but I don’t feel like the interaction was long enough to determine how he would be around them if they were living together.

If you think Tigger is a good fit for your home, please complete an adoption application.  He will be ready for his forever home very soon.

About this Pei :

Sweet Kuma has settled into his foster home very quickly.  His foster mom says, “it didn’t take long to realize this Pei is a sweet, loving boy.”  He has made friends with his K-9 foster sister and they have established a nice routine of play, sleep, play, sleep, play…… all day long.  Kuma loves being outside and loves to run.  He does need some training in leash walking as he gets very excited when outside.

Kuma came into rescue by way of a rescue individual in GA who had saved him from an irresponsible owner.  This individual was concerned for Kuma’s overall well-being and sought out FSPR to ensure he was going to a breed knowledgeable rescue.  Immediately upon receiving Kuma, FSPR had him vetted, including treatment for a urinary tract infection and neuter.  He is a very happy, healthy pup looking for his very own forever home.  Since he is both dog friendly and kid friendly, he will make a wonderful family pet.

About these Pei :

The dynamic duo of Dexter and Dixie! These two are the absolute best of friends…they are inseparable! Their owner passed away and the family did not want them. They are very bonded to one another and we feel that they would do well in a home where they are the only two dogs because of that. They follow one another and rarely allow the other out of sight.

Dexter is the leader and Dixie happily follows him everywhere. We will only consider applications that will take both dogs. They are in excellent health and all medical records will accompany them. They are loving and warm up to people quickly…they enjoy being with people and we feel that they will be wonderful companions for a family (with older children), a couple, or a single person.

Max

Name :  Max
FSPR Arrival Date:  7/5/2018                                                       Max1

Approximate Age :  9-10 years old

Adoption Donation Requested :  $150
Foster Location :  GA
Approximate Size/Weight :  32 lbs.
Dog Friendly :    Yes (except when food is present)
Cat Friendly :    TBD
Small Child Friendly :    Yes
Energy Level :    moderate
NOTES :     Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations.
About this Pei :

Max is VERY sweet with everyone, even the neighbors.  Zero aggression. He even loves his ears cleaned!!  When invited, he’ll climb up on the couch and lay right next to you or even on you.  He Loves attention.  He will definitely be a good pet for someone.  Max discovered the dog door and lets himself in and out.  Max is a dream to walk.  Even on a short leash, he’s right by his human’s side.  He can be walked with his foster dog siblings without incident and is not interested in other dogs he meets along the way.

MAX does have a few temperament issues that need to be watched closely.  He will fight over food.  He doesn’t mind his foster mom touching his food, he just wants his food and then the food of the other dogs in the home, too.  Problems arise when anyone (human) is in the kitchen preparing food.  Max is right there and no other dog better come into the kitchen!  He, also, doesn’t want to share the opportunity to greet a visitor at the door.  Max just simply doesn’t want to share any potential attention that may be coming his way!

While it may be best to adopt him out as an only dog, this may not be entirely necessary if the adopters are diligent and alpha dog savvy.  Clearly this dog has been through A LOT in the past 7-8 years and is very prone to alpha dog tendencies.  Despite his past and the results of, he is desperately looking for a forever home, maybe that can be with you?

If you are looking for a new best buddy, Mazzy fits the bill without a doubt!

Since coming into rescue, Maggie has been in the presence of a 3 year old child, and no aggressive behaviors were noted.  Maggie ignored the child after smelling her upon initial meeting.  Maggie likes to be close to people, is a snuggler.  She does need some training in general manners, though.  This girl is a little wild, jumps up on all furniture, puts paws on table/counter when food is in area, has even jumped onto top of dining room table after dinner was cleared away.  Manners lessons are already in progress.

NOTES :  On medical hold for pending medical treatments.  HW negative, UTD on vaccines, neutered.  Needs entropion surgery.
**UPDATE**
Walks well on leash. Ear infections treated successfully. Eyes have responded well to initial treatment but will be scheduled with veterinary ophthalmologist for consultation and probable entropion surgery. Very playful, sweet, loving and handsome.
About this Pei:

Mushy was found wandering around a suburb of Atlanta. He is an active, extremely friendly boy. He has not shown any signs of aggression even when his severely infected ears were cleaned and treated. His entropion is severe and he rarely opens his eyes more than a crack in order to maneuver around his environment. His eye surgery is going to be scheduled as soon as possible and this boy will be ready for a new home.
He is perfect for a single owner or family. He follows me around the house and stays close just in case I want to pet him.  He plays well with his female Shar-Pei mix fostermate, so a home with another dog would be good.

NOTES :
Gwen is HW negative, has been treated for skin infection, is UTD on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and has been evaluated by an opthamologist.  She does not need entropion surgery.
**UPDATE**
Her skin infection has been treated successfully and she is growing a beautiful new fur coat. She no longer acts fearful and does not cower. She has a wonderful personality and is extremely sweet. She walks well on leash and has learned not to jump up on people. She seems to get along well with other dogs, kids and people. Her eye issues have been diagnosed as dry eyes and she is given drops twice daily which have resolved that issue. Her ear infection has been treated and resolved. She is very easy to medicate. She has been spayed. We are awaiting results of a DNA test to determine her mix of breeds. She is a real sweetheart and will be a great companion.
About this Pei :
Gwen was found on the streets of Miami and was rescued by a concerned citizen who contacted FSPR through a volunteer familiar with FSPR.  This volunteer picked Gwen up and took her to the vet for an initial exam.  Gwen was found to have a skin infection with significant hair loss, almost bald over majority of her body.  Skin scrape was done to determine cause of hair loss and results were negative for mange so antibiotics were prescribed and Gwen was then taken to her foster home.
Upon arrival to her foster home, Gwen was very frightened and would  cower when approached by her foster mom.  Over the past couple of weeks, Gwen’s personality has blossomed.  She now plays with her Shar-Pei foster brother.  She is young and full of puppy energy, still needing to learn some manners as she does like to jump up on her foster mom to greet her and she is learning to not jump on the furniture.
If you are interested in a new best friend, Gwen just might be the girl for you.  Please complete an adoption application for Gwen, now!

Dog Friendly :    TBD
Cat Friendly :    TBD
Small Child Friendly :    TBD
Energy Level :    TBD
NOTES :
Marvin is in need of a lot of vet care and TLC so is on medical hold.  He needs to be neutered, microchipped, and, likely will need entropion surgery.  None of these medical procedures can be addressed until Marvin’s overall health improves.  He is heartworm negative.
About this Pei :
FSPR was contacted by shelter staff when the stray hold for Marvin expired and, in response, a FSPR volunteer rushed to Marvin’s rescue.  This boy was turned into the shelter as a stray by a family who had found him 5 days prior.  The family wanted to keep him but during the 5 days he was with them they had difficulty getting him to eat and he began vomiting.  The family was unsure how to help him so took him to the shelter.  Because he is so underweight the shelter staff nicknamed him Starvin’ Marvin.
The shelter vet examined and treated Marvin with IV fluids and antinausea medications, as well as, i/d dog food.  Marvin seemed to improve and was released to FSPR with medications to be continued.  Upon getting Marvin, the FSPR volunteer was concerned and fearful if Marvin would survive the night so he was taken to an emergency vet where he received IV fluids for severe dehydration.
At this time, we are taking it day-by-day with Marvin and will update information as often as possible.  He will be on medical hold until all issues are resolved.
Donations are being accepted to help cover the costs of his medical care and can be made by clicking on the donate button on our website or Facebook page.

Lollie

Lollie (fka Lola) made her way to the rainbow bridge yesterday.  This pup suffered much in her short life and letting her go was a very heartbreaking decision.  We are thankful to have known her and for having had the chance to show her love from humans for at least a little while.  Run free, Lollie, you will never hurt again.

Ginger

Name:   Ginger                                                                     Ginger 3
FSPR Arrival Date:   11/22/17
Sex :   Female
Approximate Age :   4 years old
Purebred or Mix :   Mix
Color :   Fawn
Coat Type :   Brush
Adoption Donation Requested :   $100
Foster Location :   Hilliard, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :   51 lbs.
Dog Friendly :    Yes
Cat Friendly :     TBD
Small Child Friendly :    TBD
Energy Level :    Moderately active

NOTES :   Spayed. UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative as of 11/29/17.  No medical holds.

About this Pei :
I was dropped off at a kill shelter by my owner. I was very confused and scared. A nice woman from Shar-Pei Rescue of Tennessee picked me up and transported me to my foster mom. I was very scared and did not behave well. Now, I know I am safe so I am behaving better.
Ginger has been slowly recovering from the separation from her owner.  She is loving, playful and happy.  She has learned to use the doggie door and goes out on her own. Otherwise she stays very close to me.  Ginger is a lively girl, loves to cuddle, loves to ride in the car, and is extremely playful.  She can sit, stay, and comes on command.

Since Ginger’s move from her initial foster home, she has settled in nicely with her Shar-Pei sister so should do fine in a home with other dogs.  Ginger does not have an alpha personality so should get along with both male and female dogs.

Just out of curiosity, Ginger’s foster mom had a DNA test done on Ginger to see what her mix actually is, and the results are in…  As it turns out, Ginger is 1/3 Shar-Pei.  She is also 1/3 Cocker spaniel and has a bit of doberman and Shetland sheepdog in her mix.  Ginger carries a lot of Shar-Pei characteristics but should be less likely to suffer from the breed specific health issues commonly occurring with Shar-Pei.  She is adapting nicely to her foster home but would love to have a forever home of her very own.  Could that possibly be with you?

About this Pei :
Angelina was found wandering the streets in the area of a shopping/business center in a south Miami, FL neighborhood.  Thanks to some great ladies who made it a personal quest to get her off the streets and into rescue where she could receive care and would be safe.

She is friendly and happy to be in a home.  She is great with other dogs and is fitting in nicely with her foster Shar-Pei sister and brother.  She is just now learning to walk on a leash and it seems that she has had no training previously.  She is believed to have been used as a breeder dog and appears to have had a lot of pups in her short life, so far.

Angelina will make a great companion pet when she is healthy and cleared for adoption.  If you are interested in a cute Shar-Pei girl to share your life with, please complete an adoption application, today.

Foster Location :   Bushnell, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :   48 lbs.
Dog Friendly :  Yes
Cat Friendly :   TBD
Small Child Friendly :   Yes
Energy Level :    Calm, easy-going
NOTES :  UTD on shots, neutered, and microchipped.  Wrinkles does have entropion in both eyes and poor vision in the right eye.  He is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment.  He also has ear infections that are being treated.  He will be on medical hold until assessment by opthamologist and entropion repair.
About this Pei :  Wrinkles was not very active when he came into rescue, but after being with his foster family, he has come out of his shell. He is playful, loves to give kisses, and has a great personality. We know when he is hungry because he picks up his empty food bowl, and carries it around.
He loves to play with his foster sisters. Despite his broken teeth, he loves to chew on bones, toys, and the occasional sock! He is housebroken and loves to go for walks outside.
This sweet boy came into rescue by way of a shelter near Atlanta, GA.  He was quite ill initially with upper respiratory infection, skin infection, open wounds on his ears from reported deer fly bites, broken/worn down and missing teeth, whip worms and, of course, heartworms.  He was treated with antibiotics for the respiratory and skin infections.  He is still receiving treatment to his ears to complete the healing of the wounds he had there.  He was treated for the whip worms and is now free of those.  The vet has assessed his teeth and states there is no apparent infection there.  Although, he has some broken, some worn down, and some missing there doesn’t seem to be any adverse health problem as result of his poor dental status.  Overall, Wrinkles is fairly healthy considering the condition he was in when he first arrived in rescue.  His personality is blossoming as he is recovering from all of the health issues he has had.  He is a really great dog and will make a wonderful pet for someone very soon.

If you think Wrinkles would be a great fit for your home, please complete an adoption application.

About this Pei :  Hey, there, everyone!  My name is Zoey and I am looking for a forever home.

My family could no longer take care of me because I needed eye surgery so they sent me to Cobb County animal services. I was very scared until my foster mom rescued me. I had my surgery for my eyes and can see much better now and they don’t hurt. I now live with my foster mom and three other Shar-Pei. We all get to play together.
     I enjoy laying outside in the sun, helping my foster mom cook, and playing with my foster brother and sisters.
I love relaxing in my bed and a good back rub.
     If you would like to hang out with me, please fill out an adoption application.
A note from Zoey’s foster mom –
     Zoey is a very gentle girl with my pups and small children, but tends to play too hard with smaller animals, such as toy dogs, cats, squirrels, rabbits, etc. She does not climb on furniture, although mine are trying to teach her. She knows basic commands and still needs some work on leash training. She can use a doggy door. This little girl does suffer from separation anxiety when alone, but not when in a pack. She would be best with another dog about her size.

NOTES :  UTD on shots, neutered, has had entropian surgery on both eyes.  Has had 2 bouts of familial Shar-Pei fever (FSF) at 4 months old and 18 months old.
About this Pei :
Prince has been with the same loving family since he was 8 weeks old, unfortunately, circumstances don’t allow them to keep him so he has joined FSPR and is in search of a new forever home.  He has a sweet, loving disposition and plays well with other dogs and toys.  He, also, loves to sit on the couch and snuggle with his foster humans.
His prior owner holds a medical insurance plan for him and is willing to transfer that to a new owner when Prince is adopted.  Prince has been prescribed Colchicine which has a strong following as a preventative of FSF, so, although, he has had 2 episodes of Shar-Pei fever, he may never have another.  Additional information regarding FSF is available to any interested adopters.

Maa-Goo

Adoption Donation Requested :  $350
Foster Location:  Hilliard, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :  36 lbs

Cat Friendly :    Curious about cats
Small Child Friendly :    Good with children
Energy Level :    High…Loves to play with toys.  Fetches and returns (doesn’t necessarily give you the toy!)

NOTES :    
UTD on shots, microchipped, spayed.  Medication has cleared eye ulcer so no surgery required.  Slightly heartworm positive so is receiving monthly Heartguard treatment.

About this Pei :   Maa-Goo is an absolute love.  She is friendly, smart, loves to play and run outside.  She loves to ride in the car.  Knows what “no” means, sits on command, and loves to sleep in the humans’ bed.  She is an adorable pet and will make an awesome addition to any family.  Having a fenced yard would be great for her.  She has escaped the fenced yard at her foster home but immediately comes when called.  This girl loves attention.

Maa-Goo came to rescue via Panama City where a very concerned vet did all that she could to help make sure she got to a place where people would take care of her and find her the loving home she deserves.  Maa-Goo’s eyes were in pretty bad shape when she arrived, we weren’t sure how much vision she had so we immediately made arrangements for her to be seen by an opthamologist who prescribed some drops and ointment for her eyes to start while awaiting a surgery date.  To Maa-Goo’s foster parents’ surprise, after dropping her off on the day of surgery, they had only gotten back on the road toward home when they received a call telling them to come back and get her because she didn’t need surgery at all after having had the medications that had been prescribed.  The drops and ointment had healed her ulcerated eyes and restored her vision.  This pretty girl can see again and has now been spayed so is eagerly awaiting her new forever home.

If you would like to add Maa-Goo to your family, please complete an adoption application today!

Nala

Foster Location:   Winter Garden, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :  35 lbs 
Dog Friendly :    Yes
Cat Friendly :    Yes
Small Child Friendly :    Yes
Energy Level :    Moderately active, playful

NOTES :    
UTD on shots, microchipped, spayed.  Nala is heartworm positive and undergoing slow-kill treatment with recheck to be done in October.

About this Pei :   Nala came to rescue as an owner surrender due to health issues of her owner.  Nala was pregnant when she was surrendered.  Arrangements were made for her to be fostered by a puppy nanny who could help with delivery of her puppies and care for both Nala and puppies after delivery.  Nala became a proud Momma of 6 puppies the day after arriving to her foster home.  Nala is heartworm positive due to no heartworm prevention and having lived primarily outside at her former home.  

Nala is a very happy, waggy-tail, loving girl.  She did a great job mothering her pups, who have now all been adopted.  She is cat friendly, dog friendly, kid friendly, even infant friendly.  Unfortunately, she doesn’t yet know any commands and is very busy.  She will do well in an active home, possibly with school-age children who will enjoy playing with her.  A home with a fenced yard would be great so she has room to run and play safely.  Nala is such a loving girl that she will likely do well in any home that has time to receive all the love and devotion she has to give.

Although Nala is undergoing heartworm treatment, she is available for adoption now if adopter is willing to administer treatment medications as scheduled.  Rescue has already purchased the prescribed medications and will cover the cost of heartworm recheck when due.

If you are interested in Nala, please complete an adoption application.

About this Pei : 

Lizzie has come back to FSPR after having been adopted and then moved to the home of a relative of her adoptive family.  Lizzie, unfortunately, spent a lot of time tied outside at this relative’s home and eventually ended up back in doggie jail.  Thank goodness the shelter staff contacted FSPR through Lizzie’s microchip registration so her former foster mom could rescue her, again.

Lizzie is a very sweet, small girl and makes an awesome family pet, although she is a little nervous around people carrying anything that resembles a stick.  She was traumatized previously when the children in her home chased her with sticks.  She does love to cuddle with her foster mom and likes playing with stuffy toys, too.

Lizzie is looking, again, for her true forever home.  This little girl has been through a lot in her short 3 years of life.  She was originally rescued by FSPR after having a litter of 5 pups, all of which crossed the rainbow bridge in the first days of their lives, when Lizzie was only a pup herself at approximately 1 year old.  If you have room for Lizzie in your heart and home, please complete an adoption application, today!

NOTES :
UTD on shots, microchipped, neutered, and has had entropion surgery.  Amos is heartworm positive and is, now, completing his 2nd round of Doxycycline.  He is also on Heartguard every 2 weeks.  The Heartguard treatment will need to continue until he is re-tested in August.

Update 3/25/16:  Hi, my name is Amos and I am waiting for my forever home. Now that I have put on weight and my fur has grown in I am a handsome dude. I am a loving little guy who just wishes to curl up next to you and be petted. I also enjoy lying in the sun and chasing bees, which my foster mom hates. 

About this Pei :
I am Amos and recently moved from Alabama to Georgia when I was rescued from doggie jail by the nice people at Florida Shar Pei Rescue.

I had a rough time at the shelter and seeing the doctor was quite traumatic for me, too.  I was so scared because I haven’t been feeling good for a little while now.  The doctor said my heart and lungs sound good. He put me on some medicine and Heartguard to treat the worms in my heart. I have something called a bacterial skin infection and an urinary tract infection with bladder crystals. I guess that’s why my skin is so itchy and I have to pee so much.  The doctor says I have to take medicine for 2 whole weeks to make these infections go away. My ears are infected, too, and, yep, I am on medicine for that, too. My foster mom says I am still very skinny and need to gain some weight but with all these pills I don’t know if there will be room for food in my belly, too. I need entropion surgery for my lower eyelids and something called neutering. Foster Mom says, “I think that he should be in much better shape in a couple weeks after good food and TLC. I am sure he was very stressed at the city pound.”  Boy is she right about that!  I am so glad to have been rescued by FSPR.  After I get better I am going to be looking for my very own forever home.  If you think that can be with you, please fill out an adoption application!

Love, Amos

I’m Bree, one of the new girls in town.  FSPR came and rescued me after I was found wandering in North Port as a stray.  They think my owners dumped me but I really don’t know why.  
I’m super sweet and love getting attention.  If you ignore me I may “tap” you until you pet me.
I’ve never had a potty accident in the house, not even once, which my foster mom loves!   I play well with my foster fur brother and sister.  And my human foster brother has a lot of friends over and I don’t mind at all.  I like riding in the car and I do okay on a leash, although a harness works better for me. 
I’m ready to be adopted. Can I come home with you, please?
Love, Bree <3

About this Pei :
Hi, I’m Chucky! I was found on January 15th wandering the streets of Daytona Beach and spent a few days at the Halifax Humane Society. Fortunately, I am now sharing a house with three Shar Pei girls and two cats. We all get along great. There is a doggie door with a large fenced yard so I can wander around and enjoy all of the smells. Being in the country gives me all kinds of things to sniff. My vision is impaired due to glaucoma so I have to have medicine drops put in every day.  The eye doctor man says the drops will help keep the pressure down.  I have no idea what he is talking about but whatever the pressure is, I don’t let it slow me down since my nose and ears work fine. I have learned voice commands especially “step” so I know when to slow down for the deck stairs.
My foster mom says this about me, “Chucky enjoys playing and is incredibly gentle. He loves to hold my hand or forearm in his mouth and never leaves a mark. He also like to take my fingers in his mouth and gently chew on them. Very sweet. His favorite place is in the kitchen so he knows right where I am. Chucky is not food aggressive and will let the girls takes his treats or push him away from his food if I let them. The best thing is he likes my old cats – goes nose to nose with them and then walks away.”

Chucky is looking for his forever home.  Don’t you need a shar pei to keep you company?

About this dog:

Hi Everyone,

My name is Corky and I am looking for my forever home. I am a happy boy but am a little shy (like most Shar-Pei)  when I first meet new people, but I warm up quickly. I especially like other girl dogs, but I get along with boy dogs too. I can also be quite content being an only dog. I love to go for walks with my foster dad and also can’t wait to run around in my fenced  yard and look for stuff that I have hidden that only I can find. I am really happy when I get a new hoofie to chew on. They tell me that I am house broken (whatever that means) and I believe them. I am a good watchdog and will make someone a loyal, loving companion.

My vet, Dr. Stevens, has me on a special diet, so I eat ID dry dog food, ¾ cup twice daily. I also get a couple of tablespoons of canned pumpkin mixed with it. My foster dad gives me 2 probiotic tablets twice a day with my food and they are like special treats for me.

They tell me that I am quite handsome and that I have a beautiful coat. Won’t you please consider adopting me? You will make us both very happy.

Your pal,

Corky (aka “the Corkster”)

About this Pei : 
Hi everyone-

My name is Maggie (short for Magnolia). I was found wandering around Miami and since I had no one to care for me I got into a bunch of fleas and they ate up a LOT of my fur and made my skin red and itchy. Some people came by and picked me up. They took me to a place called a shelter. At least I was not on the street anymore! The best part is that someone came to see me from a shar-pei rescue and they took me home with them to start getting me better. I am starting to get my fur back and my skin doesn’t bleed anymore from scratching. My foster Dad takes me for long walks everyday and I have met all the people in the neighborhood. I like to play and I really like being with people a lot. My foster parents  are  promising me my very own home as soon as I am better. Wow……Good food and good friends….this is the best!

If you are interested in bringing Maggie to your home, please complete an adoption application.

About this Pei : 
Hello, they call me Nala.  I’m still a baby and am brand new to rescue.  So far, my foster mom thinks I am an awesome dog!  She says whoever adopts me will fall in love.  I like to play and I know how to fetch.  I am eating good and I LOVE cookies.  I come when I am called and I give lots of kisses.  Even though my foster mom thinks I am great, I had to move to a new foster home.  Unfortunately, one of the other dogs at my first foster home didn’t like me very much.  So, now I’m in another foster home.  I’m very happy, and I love my foster (dog) brother, Chance, and I love the humans here, too.  Chance and I play and chase Geckos.  We go on walks with our dad, and I love it.

I was found wandering the streets in Naples. I was scared at the shelter but the nice people from Florida Shar Pei Rescue saved me. 
I’m crate trained and house trained. I love my food and toys.  So, I am looking for a forever home, with a nice family to love.  If you’re interested, please come and adopt me.
Love and kisses,
Baby Nala

Purebred or Mix : Purebred
Color : Cream
Coat Type : Brush
Adoption Donation Requested : $100
Foster Location : Orlando, FL
Approximate Size/Weight : 40 lbs
Dog Friendly : Yes
Cat Friendly : Unknown
Small Child Friendly : TBD
Energy Level : Easy-going, laid-back

NOTES :
UTD on shots, Heartworm positive, Microchipped, Neutered. Sammy is undergoing slow kill heartworm treatment due to his advanced age.

About this Pei :
Samurai, “Sammy” for short, came into rescue after being found as a stray in Orlando, FL.  Those who found him took him in and provided for his short-term care but were unable to keep him long-term so reached out for help with him and FSPR answered their call.

Sammy is an older boy with arthritis in his hips, he is also heartworm positive, and may have some hearing loss due to chronic ear infections.  Sammy requires medications on a daily basis for management of his arthritis pain and is receiving treatment for his heartworms, as well.  He did have ear infections upon initial vet examination upon coming into rescue and was treated for those.  Due to Sammy’s need for long-term medical treatments, donations are much appreciated so we can continue to provide for whatever care he needs.

Sammy’s foster mom says he is a very sweet old guy and he gets along well with her other dogs.  He has learned the household routine and is fitting in nicely with the pack.

Please consider being a Guardian Angel for Sammy as he will likely remain in the care of FSPR until he crosses the rainbow bridge.  If you would like to adopt Sammy to allow him to live the remainder of his life with you, please complete an adoption application.

Adoption Donation Requested :  $400 
Foster Location :  Jacksonville 
Approximate Size/Weight :  40lbs 
Dog Friendly :    Yes
Cat Friendly :    Yes
Small Child Friendly :    Yes
Energy Level :    Laid back 

NOTES :    
Boudreaux (aka Boo) is fully vetted and neutered but is awaiting surgery for prolapse of the third eyelid (cherry eye).  Boo will be on medical hold until eye surgery and recovery is complete.

About this Pei : 
Boudreaux is a southern gentleman and gets along great with his foster brother. He was dumped due to aesthetics when his owners had cherry eye surgery done that was not a success. Boo is seeing a board certified veterinary opthamalogist and will be even more handsome soon! He has a velvety short horsecoat and LOVES to snuggle! Boo’s house manners are perfect, and he loves to chew a cow hoof on the dog bed or, better yet, join the humans on the sofa or human bed! Boo is only slightly skittish at first, potentially because his vision is still slightly obstructed, but he warms up quickly and completely.

Chanel

Name :  Chanel                                                                                              chanel-3
Sex :  Female
Approximate Age :  2 years old
Purebred or Mix :  Mix
Color :  Black 
Coat Type :  Horse
Adoption Donation Requested :  Sponsored 
Foster Location :  Jacksonville, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :  52lbs 
Dog Friendly :    TBD
Cat Friendly :    TBD
Small Child Friendly :    Yes
Energy Level :    Moderately active 

NOTES :    
Chanel is UTD on all shots, spayed, and has begun a slow kill heartworm protocol for a mild heartworm infection. She needs meds twice daily right now but gladly takes them with a cookie.

About this Pei : 
Chanel really wants human contact. She knows basic commands like sit, shake, high five, and “hugs”. She walks very well on a leash and did great visiting Pet Supermarket with other large breed dogs. She gets excited to see children and behaves very nicely when being petted and loved. Her leash manners are good, but she is very strong. We think she may be mostly Shar-Pei with some American Bullmastiff or American Bulldog. She loves belly rubs, muzzle massages, and squeaky toys. She has not done well with smaller dogs that overwhelm her and would do best with a big lazy guy or as an only girl, and she does go in her kennel nicely. Chanel has a smooth short dark coat with some barely visible brown undertones. She has the characteristic purple/black Pei tongue but bigger ears (no ear infections!) and a longer tail that bunches up near her bum and wags like crazy. Chanel is very happy to lie on her back and toss a stuffy toy or sit on the couch with her human. Give this gal a chance? She would be tons of fun for an active person or family but also likes her time lounging on a dog bed with a chewy treat.

Dog Friendly : Yes
Cat Friendly : TBD
Small Child Friendly : TBD
Energy Level : Playful

NOTES :
Deacon is in need of all vetting before being available for adoption.  He also has cherry eye in both eyes that will require surgery and a luxating patella on one of his rear legs that will be addressed by an orthopedic specialist.

About this Pei :
My name is Deacon and I am brand new to Florida Shar Pei Rescue.  A very nice lady rescued me from my home where I spent all the time outside.  She saw I had these things called cherries in my eyes and said I needed to go to a doctor to get them out.  I’m not really sure what any of that means but I am happy to be here and get to sleep inside now.  I do still like to play outside and I really like to be close to my humans and give lots of kisses.

I spent a couple of weeks with a very nice man and he had a whole bunch of shar pei dogs.  He called me smiley because he said I was always happy and it looked like I was smiling all the time.  He brought me to another nice lady in Florida and I am now settling in at my foster home.  There are things called toys here and foster mom says I am supposed to play with them.  I have never had toys before.  This place is great!  I hope I can find a forever home of my own with lots of my own toys, too.  It’s going to be a little while before I can go to a forever home but keep an eye on me and let the nice people at FSPR know if you want me to come live with you forever.

Love, Deacon

NOTES :  ADOPTION PENDING! UTD on shots, Heartworm negative, Microchipped, Spayed. Elsa is healthy and ready for adoption. Note: Elsa’s adoption fee was generously donated! Thanks Jacob!

About this Pei : Elsa is a sweet southern gal from Tennessee, who was owner surrendered to a shelter and made her way to Florida.  This young girl has adapted very well to her Florida foster home and gets along with the kids, the resident pei, and the cat.  She is a strong-willed girl, but what else would you expect from a true southern belle? 🙂

One of Elsa’s foster moms in Tennessee had this to say about her, “She is incredibly sweet and good natured.  Great with people.  Loves to play and doesn’t play too rough.  She is comfortable being hugged and doesn’t mind being touched around her face, ears, or paws.  She is not destructive so can be left alone, but she likes to be able to see her humans.  She can be stubborn, though, and will sit down when on a leash and not wanting to go where she is being led.  Overall she is a great dog and would do well in an active home.”

Since coming to Florida, Elsa’s foster mom, here, has done some training with her and agrees Elsa can be stubborn and a little skittish upon initial meeting, but is also a really good dog.  She has bonded well with her foster mom and her teenage human foster sister.  A successful forever home for Elsa should include someone who is stronger-willed than she is, someone who can continue to work with her to overcome her stubborn personality quirks.

UTD on shots, spayed, just had eye surgery for entropion and cherry eye (ready for adoption 1/1/2016)

About this Pei : 
I am an active, intelligent little pei who loves to lay in the sun. I get bored easily so I need lots of activities to entertain me. I was in doggy jail, adopted and returned to doggy jail because no one wanted to pay for my eye surgery. I was so happy when the lady from FSPR saved me. I get to play with two other pei all day long. I also have a big back yard which I really enjoy now that I have learned how to use the doggy door. I have had my eye surgery and will be ready for a new home soon. I can be very entertaining. The vet said I sounded like a chicken when I woke up from my operation.

My foster mom says:
  “Bear is a very lovable girl who loves to snuggle and give kisses. She still is afraid of someone stealing her food so she eats in her crate, where she is safe. She is an escape artist that can squeeze through small gaps in or under a fence. She comes back when you call her.”

I am brand new to rescue because my owner didn’t want me anymore so a really pretty and nice lady from FSPR came and got me.  I stayed with her for a little while but the other dog she had didn’t want to play with me so I moved to another foster place.  I got to spend the night with a nice FSPR family on my way to my new foster place.  They had 3 other shar pei and I got to play with one of them.  It was great!

I would love to find a forever home of my own.  One with young humans and/or another dog to play with would be AWESOME!

Nike

Name : Nike                                                                      Nike 1 Sex : Male Approximate Age : 5 – 6 years Purebred or Mix : Purebred Color :  Fawn Coat Type : Horse Adoption Donation Requested : $350 Foster Location : Apopka, FL Approximate Size/Weight : 40 lbs Dog Friendly : Yes Cat Friendly : Unknown Small Child Friendly : TBD Energy Level : Shy, playful after getting to know you. NOTES : UTD on shots, Heartworm positive and undergoing treatment, Microchipped, Neutered. About this Pei :   Nike is a sweet guy with big eyes that will make anyone’s heart melt!  He’s passive and a bit shy but he has good energy.  He’s a great looking shar pei for sure!  He’s skinny with good muscle, his “snoot” is velvety soft and his curled tail wags at hyper speed when he’s excited to see you!
Nike is house trained and joyfully jaunts outside to inspect the yard once we get home.  We’ve been fostering him for about two months and we don’t crate him now, but we did upon his arrival to our home and he did ok in the crate.  He’s very loyal and follows me around everywhere.  He keeps his distance until you invite him closer.  He stays off the bed until invited up and we’re working on simple commands like “sit.”  (Currently he’s doing more of a “squat” on command than a sit, but he’s getting better with it!)
True to the character of many shar pei, it takes a while to build his trust. Nike came to us from a high kill shelter where he had been surrendered after what must have been a life without much loving human interaction.  He was skinny, dirty, sunburned and not interested in being very social.  He’s a “rescue” in every sense of the word.  Initially, he was hesitant to accept even gentle petting.  He’s never lashed out or tried to bite – instead he runs away if he’s not comfortable.  Nike needs a patient owner who will take the time to earn the fantastic cuddles Nike is capable of giving.  He’s learned that it’s ok to come up with me on the couch, to cuddle in bed and to sit with me on the floor.  It’s taken time and will probably take time in his forever home too.
We have two “permanent resident” shar pei who help us foster pups like Nike.  Nike has done well with them, but he’s definitely a follower and not the leader of the pack.  He’ll play around some with our alpha dog, but basically submits to any dominant behavior.  As long as he’s in a home with other dogs who are not aggressive, he should do ok.  But a house with a very hyper or super playful dog would not likely be the right fit.
If you are interested in learning more about Nike as an addition to your family, please, complete an adoption application today!

About this Pei :

June 2016 Update

Hi, I’m Ping! I came to Florida from the big city in Georgia. When I was found, back in January, I was very sad and sickly. My eyes were pretty darn bad, too. They hurt me every single day.  I felt awful and sure didn’t feel loved, but thanks to the nice people at Florida Chinese Shar Pei Rescue, that has all changed!

My foster mommy loves me very much. She gives me lots of hugs and good food. She thinks I’m plump and calls me “Piggy Piggy Ping-Ping.” I think it’s my lush and beautiful, fluffy-as-a-cloud cream coat that makes me look bigger, but…whatever! Haha! I do like to eat!

Even though I don’t see very well, I’m smart and use my other senses. I had eye surgery in March and boy, what a relief that was. Changed my life.  I’m not on eye drops anymore but may be in the future. And now, I love when mommy rubs and cleans my eyes!

Now on to the important things in life: TOYS. I have so many and I love them all. I carry them around wherever I go and I’ll share them with you. I also love to be in my backyard in the fresh air and sunshine! Nobody ties me up anymore and I’m free to run and roam, and hunt lizard shadows. I’m really good at it.

Wanna play with me? I’m a fluffy ton of fun! Just fill out the application. And, get this, thanks to a very generous Pei supporter, my adoption is FREE to the human who will give me a safe and loving home! I’m ready to love you and spread my joie de vivre in my furever home.

I hope to see your shadow soon.

Love, Ping-Ping

Ruger is on medical hold for eye surgery.  His sight is compromised but the eye doctor has high hopes for a good outcome following surgery.  His eyes have are already showing improvement with drops 4 X day.  His skin is in very poor condition and he is underweight.   He is on medication and medicated baths for his skin. His skin is getting better and his coat is coming in nicely with good food and the medication.  Ruger is up to date on all vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and is heartworm negative.About this Pei :
Ruger is a very laid back, calm fellow.  He has excellent house manners.  No accidents in the house at all.  He does not chew or get in the trash.  Ruger does not steal food from counters or table tops.  He is not a barker. Ruger’s foster mom said, “This is the easiest dog I have ever had for eye drops.  He stands quietly and just lets me put the drops in his eyes.”  Such a good boy.  Ruger does not appear to know basic commands, but he walks nicely on a leash.  Ruger loves his walks.  He gets very excited when he sees preschoolers at the park.  It is suspected that his former family had small children.  Ruger is presently living with three other Pei in his foster home.  He has demonstrated no food or toy aggression at all.  He plays well with the other Pei and even likes the neighbor’s cat.  This is a very loving guy who wants very much to bond with his humans.  He clearly loves attention and hangs out close to his foster parents in the house.  Ruger is a big boy at 65 pounds and counting.  He will top out at around 75-80 lbs at a good weight.  Ruger needs to be big because his heart is much too large, full of love, for a small-frame dog. 🙂  His new family will have to commit to feeding only premium grain-free food, and he may need eye drops and/or ointment long-term due to the damage from longtime entropion.  This boy was surrendered to a very good no-kill shelter due to his family being financially compromised and no longer able to provide for him.  He is not believed to have been abused or neglected.  His family seemed to have truly loved him, just simply became unable to care for him.
If you are interested in bringing Ruger into your family, please complete an adoption application now!  He will be ready for his forever home before you know it.

Special Project — Trixie

FSPR is working on a special project — Trixie.

UPDATE #3:  Trixie has had her surgery and it was successful.  She is now on the road to recovery and has stolen many hearts along the way, including those of her foster family!  It looks like Trixie has found her forever home right where she is.  Her foster family has decided to adopt her.

UPDATE #2:  After much contemplation and several professional consults, FSPR has decided it is in Trixie’s best interest to move forward with amputation of her paralyzed left front leg.  Her tentative surgery date is mid-March.  Trixie is growing into a delightful dog and will make a wonderful pet after her rehab is complete.

UPDATE #1:  Trixie is now around 4 months old and has been evaluated by 2 neurologists.  Unfortunately, the prognosis for saving her leg isn’t a positive one.  It is the recommendation of both neurologists that her leg be amputated due to nerve damage that cannot be reversed.  Our final attempt to save Trixie’s leg will be a consult with a prosthetics specialist who would like to make a brace if possible and avoid amputation.  No matter the outcome, Trixie is a delightful girl and will adapt to whatever is decided to be best for her.

Trixie is a 12 week old female shar-pei, who came to us after being found on a golf course in central Florida.  She was presumably injured and this injury resulted in nerve damage causing paralysis of her left front paw.  Upon initial veterinary examination, after joining FSPR, she was found to have some pain in the left shoulder so the doctor believes that is likely where the injury occurred and this caused radial nerve paralysis.  We have consulted with an orthopedic veterinary office and our next step is a neurology veterinarian to determine the extent of the damage and the best possible treatment plan.  There is a possibility her left front leg will require amputation.  Trixie is doing well and will be available for adoption but not for some time, yet.  Adoption applications are not yet being accepted for Trixie as we are unsure of the timeline for her medical care.  Please, check back often to see updates on this cutie-Pei!  Here is a little sneak peek for you…

About this Pei : 
Fiona gets along well with other dogs and is friendly, giving kisses to everyone all day since she got to her foster home.  She was so scared at the shelter and now she is happy and soooo loveable!!!!  Fiona was brought in from Hillsborough county doggie jail.  She was scared and cowered to the ground when we first went to see her.  She was infested with fleas and her hair was falling out all over her body.  As soon as we left the facility and got her into the car she was happy and wagging her tail and she licked and licked us with gratitude.  She loves to give everyone kisses and just wants to be loved.  Fiona is very very affectionate and personable, loves to sit on your lap or lie on the sofa or bed with you.   She is small but adorable!  Her fleas are all gone and her coat is filling in beautifully.  Please complete an adoption application if you want to make this little girl part of your family.

NOTES :
Rocky is up to date on shots, is heartworm negative, and is already neutered.  He does have eye and ear infections so will need medical treatment for these before being cleared for adoption.  Rocky will also need to see an eye specialist to determine how much vision damage has occurred.

About this Pei :
Hi, everyone.  My name is Rocky and I am a flowered shar pei.  I was dumped by my owner in a doggy jail place at the end of March.  I thought I had a get out of jail free card when one rescue group put a hold on me and said they were coming to pick me up.  The next thing I knew they backed out because they thought I was mean.  I was so sad and scared, but I was never mean at all.  I am, usually, a very happy guy even though my health is not very good right now.  I am out of doggy jail now thanks to another rescue, the awesome Florida Shar Pei Rescue, and I have the bestest foster mom a guy could ask for.  She took me to the vet the day after she picked me up from doggy jail and the vet doctor said I have some problems that I am going to need help with.  I have infections in both of my eyes and both of my ears.  I need to see an eye specialist as soon as I recover from the infections because I can’t see very good. I also have something called demodectic mange.  I don’t really know what that is but it makes me itchy and some of my fur has come out from it.  I have now been in my foster home for a few days and I am making myself right at home.  I am really enjoying getting love and the medicines I need to feel better.  My pei foster sisters and brother are nice to me and my foster parents give me hugs and kisses all the time.  I am such a lucky guy to have been rescued by the great people at FSPR.  I know they will do everything they can to help me get healthy so I can, one day, find a real forever home of my very own.

If you want me to come live with you, fill out an adoption application today!   If you aren’t looking to adopt but want to help with my medical care, please be my Guardian Angel and make a tax deductible donation.

Love, Rocky

Remington

Name :  Remington                                                                                      Remington 2
Sex :  Male
Approximate Age :  1.5 – 2 years 
Purebred or Mix :  Purebred
Color :  Apricot 
Coat Type :  Brush
Adoption Donation Requested :  $400 
Foster Location :  Bushnell 
Approximate Size/Weight :  44 lbs 
Dog Friendly :    Yes
Cat Friendly :    TBD
Small Child Friendly :    Age 10 and older
Energy Level :    Playful 

NOTES :    
Remington is up to date on all vaccines, has been microchipped, neutered, and has completed heartworm treatment.  

About this Pei : 

Remington, or Remi for short, was found as a stray and came to FSPR via Savannah, GA.  He has a wonderful personality and a beautiful apricot brush coat.  This boy is very playful and loves human attention and affection.  Remington is a protector of his humans and his territory.  He is good with older children but is not tolerant of young kids due to his territorial protectiveness.  He would do well in the home of a single person needing a guard dog or in a home with a family, but only with older children.  He would be best suited in a home with a securely fenced yard so he can run and play.

Remington has tried a couple of different homes in recent months but neither of these were the perfect “forever” home for him.  He very much wants to please his humans but the right humans just haven’t found him yet.  He is well trained and knows several commands.

If you are interested in Remington, please complete an adoption application.

Sunshine (aka “Sunni”)

Name :  Sunshine                                                                        Sunshine 8/17 - 2

Approximate Age :  2 – 3 years 
Purebred or Mix :  Purebred
Color :  Fawn 
Coat Type :  Horse
Adoption Donation Requested :  $300 
Foster Location :  St. Petersburg, FL
Approximate Size/Weight :  40 lbs

Energy Level :    Calm 


NOTES :    
Sunshine has completed her heartworm treatment, has been spayed, and her back wound continues to heal without complication.  She is up to date on vaccines and microchipped.

About this Pei : 
Sunshine is the sweetest little thing!  She came from Miami with a large wound on her back.  She has been examined by a vet and he thinks that someone poured hot oil all over her to cause the burns from her head to her mid-back.  She has been mistreated and was not taken care of medically.  She had heartworms but has been treated for those and is now heartworm-free. Sunni tolerates the other foster dogs that share her foster home but would be better suited in a home with no other dogs.  She is a total love bug and lap dog with people. She likes to be sitting with you on the sofa or chair. If you go to bed or take a nap, she will curl right up along side of you. She loves people and just wants to be touched and by your side all the time.   Please complete an adoption application if you need a lovebug Shar-Pei in your life!

Niko

Name: Niko7_Niko
Sex: Male
Approximate Age: 2 years
Purebred: Purebred
Color:  Tan
Coat Type: Horse
Adoption Donation Requested: $400
Foster Location: Gulf Breeze, FL (Panhandle)
Approximate weight: 30 lbs
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Yes
Small Children Friendly: Yes
Energy Level: Extremely active, playful
Notes: Niko is UTD on vaccines, wormed, heartworm negative and neutered. He does have a crooked tail that appears to have been broken at one point but it does not appear to cause him any pain at this point.
About this Pei: 
Niko is an extremely sweet, energetic and playful pup. He’s hard to get a close-up photo in focus because he always wants to curl up to me and give kisses. He is such a sweetie though. He is extremely playful with our other shar peis. They are a bit older and seem to tolerate him trying to play with them by jumping on them and pulling at their toys. But it has exclusively been just to play. There has been absolutely no aggression with our dogs, our small kids or our cat. He partially understands how to sit on command; however, he needs a lot of work with leash training. I can tell that he might not have come from the best home because whenever I shout in a loud voice to stop jumping on our older dog, he immediately cowers and lays down on the floor. He loves to jump on our bed and furniture, which is something we are working on eliminating. He enjoys running around in our backyard and doesn’t excessively bark or chew up random things… which is always a plus. He immediately knew how to enter and exit our doggy door.
After two baths on his first night with us, he looks and smells like a completely different pup. His coat is actually very soft and pretty perfect considering the problems that usually come with shar peis that haven’t been fed appropriate food. He is underweight at the moment, but we are confident that in a few weeks, we will get some weight on him. As of right now he’s sleeping in a crate at night, until he can prove to us that he can sleep on our bedroom floor. But as of this moment, he thinks he belongs on the bed… so this might take some work. We honestly think he would be great in a home with kids that want to play with him, someone that plans on exercising this boy and someone that will show him endless love. He would also be great with other dogs, specifically younger ones that would run around with him and play. He is such an incredibly sweet dog with an unbelievable kind demeanor. He just needs to be shown love for the first time ever.

Yuma is a classic  traditional SharPei. Very proud happy girl. She was left by her family, at a shelter. She had a difficult time there. She came in with a companion and they separated them. She was terrified.
She is doing great now. She will be ready soon.

About this Pei : 
Hi, my name is Yuma.  I came to a very scary place with my family.  I was ok until they said I had to stay but they left. They took my best doggy friend away and put me in jail.  I was so scared, I just kept yelling at the people to let me go home. Nobody would listen.  I wouldn’t eat, but that didn’t seem to matter.
Then some people came to save me.  I had to ride forever.  I was not happy.  I just wanted to go home.
Now I’m with my foster family. I yelled at them, too, at first, but I did eat all the good food they gave me.  After awhile, I figured out that they are so nice so I stopped yelling at them.  My foster dad is so patient and good to me.  I like to lick his and mom’s fingers.  I feel safe here.  I like my foster friends, too.
I would like to go to my forever home, when the doctor says I’m ready.  If you like me, ask if you can get me.  I’m a really nice little girl.
Love,
Yuma
