Welcome to our Blog!
These free listings are for spayed/neutered Chinese Shar-pei (or Shar-pei mix that look purebred) pets only! We DO NOT list any privately owned adult dogs that have not been spayed / neutered. All RESCUED dogs must be spayed/neutered ASAP by the shelter or rescue group. Young puppies that have been rescued MUST be adopted with spay/neuter contract; adult mothers spayed prior to adoption – no exceptions!
We appreciate this is a very difficult situation for any pet owner, but we need to re-emphasize these very important responsibilities that must be taken more seriously if you are to be offered our network services.
For your dog’s best future welfare, it is of essential importance that every pets’ health and temperament issues are fully disclosed, in this initial correspondence as well as later to potential homes. Vet contact information is now required in all non-shelter listings to verify medical history, current health issues, and their suggested treatments. Once a new home is found, copies of medical documentation and vet records, and/or any issued medications to maintain your dog’s current health and welfare must be surrendered with the dog at time of rehoming. Please click here for a complete list of the other placement expectations.
Please note the last and most important detail of our placement guide, as we expect everyone listed to provide all transitional follow-up support with the new owners, and if necessary, be willing to take the dog back if the new home choice does not work out. This applies to all new homes found, whether or not directly located from our network assistance.
If your dog has been found with major health or temperament problems that cannot be safely rescued or rehomed, we cannot list your pet!!! If available, we can refer you to the closest rescue organization for objective evaluation, but we cannot guarantee the success of any other assistance without your dedicated and/or financial effort to resolve your pets’ issue(s).
Responsible owners or shelter volunteers who foster unwanted pets (AND meet the listed adoption restrictions) are welcome to apply for our free PAL Adoption listings. Adoption fees create a mutual understanding of value and responsibility that must be encouraged to protect your dog’s future welfare. Even when the dog is medically updated prior to rescue, we still highly discourage giving away or promoting animals “free to good home”, due to the undesirable homes and commercial entrepreneurs that this “no cost” option can attract. If you don’t want to keep the money, you can always put it to good use by donating it to your favorite charity or rescue shelter.
History of illness, injury, or aggression must also be disclosed to be accepted for any other featured promotions. Because of this enforced disclosure policy, we do not otherwise discriminate against any reasonably fixable health or temperament issues, and leave the issue of adoptability up to each individual’s expectations and standards. We must maintain direct email contact with the responsible party at all times to maintain the listings on our site. We reserve the right to decline or drop any listing if found wrongfully informed or maintained, as determined by our network disclaimer. We also do our best to fairly research and represent each profile published, and reserve the right to edit profiles as necessary, but will not be held liable for any negative feedback or unsuccessful adoption contacts.

Hi, I‘m Lucas. I am a black, brush coat boy. I am a little guy with a BIG personality and lots of love. I lived with three other dogs and got along well with them. I am pretty laid back, so another laid back dog would be best for me. My shots are current, I‘m already neutered and I already had my eyes fixed. I am housebroken and I will go in a crate, but I prefer to be with you instead of being in a crate. There are no foster homes available right now, so I am living at the kennel. I am kind of sad here. I really need a foster home, or better yet a fur-ever home.
