Story
Meet Muppet! This handsome 4-year-old boy is ready to steal hearts and find his true forever home! Muppet originally came to us as a stray in 2023 and, through no fault of his own, has found his way back into our care. Now, he’s on the lookout for the perfect family to love him forever. Muppet is a playful guy who lives for a good game of tug-of-war! By day two in foster care, he had already convinced his foster brother to join in on the fun (they’re still trying to decide who the champion really is ). He would be happiest in a home with another playful dog buddy, though he’d do well as a solo pup too if he gets plenty of playtime and love. When he’s not busy showing off his tug-of-war skills, Muppet enjoys leisurely walks, but his true happy place? A backyard where he can run, stretch out, and soak up the sunshine&#226&#152&#128&#239&#184&#143—so we’re making a fenced yard a must-have for this sweet guy.    Muppet is up to date on vaccines, has had recent bloodwork which the vet was very happy with, and is all set to start his new chapter. Like many Shar Pei, he does have some allergies, so he’ll need routine skin and ear care—but he’s a champ about it. He’s proven to be trustworthy in the house (not a fan of the kennel, but who can blame him?). While he hasn’t been around much kids in foster care, we don’t see any concerning behavior and believe he’d do just fine with dog-savvy children. He did meet a few kiddos on Halloween and loved them! &#226&#156&#168 Muppet has so much love to give and is ready to bring joy, laughter, and sunshine to his forever family. Could that be you?&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 He is currently fostered in Rapid City, South Dakota Please visit www.peipeople.com to fill out an application   December 4, 2025, 3:06 pm

We love Sparky. He’s a great dog but has not adjusted well to new dogs being introduced into his environment. Very cuddly. Would be perfect for a single owner with no other pets.

Hi, I'm Jackson. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, I'm the most loyal friend you'll ever have. I love playing tug of war-it's my favorite!

Let's meet and see if we're a perfect match! $135.00 Fee includes initial vaccines, worming, microchip with registration, and free vet health exam.
