Wesley

Shar Pei Pit Bull Terrier

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Characteristics: Wesley (also known as Wessie) is a loving, goofy and loyal boy. He loves hugs and cuddles, rolling in the dirt, and playing with his dog besties. We believe he is a bone-mouth sharpei mix due to his black tongue and gums. Wesley would make a great addition to any family, or just as someone's adventure buddy. Background: Wesley grew up in a home, where he was eventually surrendered due to a baby being born in the family. There was an account of Wesley guarding the baby from the parent, although we don’t know exact details about the situation. Wesley has been shown to be protective of women, as well as female dogs in his time here at Como, but has never resource guarded a person in our care. Current progress: Wesley has made so much progress here, from no interaction with other dogs previously, to now spending everyday with his dog best friends. He is still a little nervous meeting male dogs. He has responded very well to building his confidence, and is now non reactive, having calm interactions with strangers. Cat tested: Can be tested. Kids: All ages, meet and greet (can be nippy when playing). On leash: Wesley is a puller, but receptive to corrections. We would recommend a front pull harness, which he is a lot better on. Behavior concerns: Potentially playing rough with another dog in the home, or stress redirection. When playing, he can get nippy when overly excited (usually goes for pants). Training receptiveness: Wesley has a great drive to please, and his breeds really make a great mix of a calm protector. He can take a little while to process things however, but is still very easy to work with when training. When you adopt a dog from Como Animal Works, you are provided free boarding as a courtesy and comfort of the dog being familiar with our facility. We also provide free training sessions on-site or at the home while the dog is transitioning to home life. Our goal is to help keep dogs out of overcrowded shelters and provide much needed dog socialization during that time.

Story
Are you looking for some Gucci Gucci Goo? This distinguished gentleman is new to rescue and is amazing!! He is great with other dogs both big and small. He is an overall happy guy that just loves being loved on! This guy is just as likely to run up to his foster dad as he is to his foster mom. He is already neutered but will have Entropion surgery prior to adoption.  We have him listed as 7 but we are not quite sure that number is accurate. He seems much younger! He loved his car ride and was fantastic in the back seat. Stay tuned as we get to know this hunk of burning love  December 1, 2025, 10:12 am

Story
  Meet Dolce — Sweet by Name, Sweet by Nature     Fostering in Phoenix AZ   Dolce truly lives up to her name — she’s the definition of sweet! This lovely girl has had a bit of a rollercoaster journey and somehow found herself in need of rescue twice. We like to think we’re pretty great at screening adopters, but clearly, Dolce slipped through the cracks — and we’re determined to get it right this time!   She’s wonderful with other dogs and has previously lived with kids. We’re not sure about cats yet, but she’s such a gentle soul we wouldn’t be surprised if she did just fine with a proper introduction. She is amazing with big and small dogs. Her BFFs are a malinois and a shitzu.    Dolce is healthy overall, though she’s working on shedding a few extra pounds (aren’t we all?). She walks nicely on a leash, rides like a champ in the car, and has great house manners. This girl adores her walks and will go for miles if you are up for it! This girl has amazing skills at making you feel safe in your own home! There are zero worries you will ever have anyone in your backyard without this girl letting you know.  Have we mentioned how much she loves water? Zero fear of the pool in fact looks at the pool as her own very large water bowl. She will also jump right in the shower with you if given the opportunity.      Her only “flaw”? She doesn’t have that classic Shar Pei look — but what she lacks in wrinkles, she makes up for in personality and heart.   She’s scheduled for her wellness check and bloodwork soon, but from what we can see, her eyes and ears are in great shape — no entropion and wide open ear canals!   If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion with a dash of sass and a whole lot of sweetness, Dolce might just be your girl  December 11, 2025, 9:59 am

Story
Check out this cutie! She is tiny at only 30 ish pounds.    She was quickly made adoptable at the maricopa shelter which rarely happens with Shar Pei. She loves everyone she meets.  She loves car rides and jumps right in the car. House training is a non issue. She did great for her first bath! She has had her Entropion surgery and spay. This girl is social and has loved play dates with friends. She is great with bossy females and males. Crate training was a non issue but is totally fine being left home alone.  December 11, 2025, 9:59 am

Story
Hi, my name is Zyrie, and I know you can't stop staring at my big beautiful nose and muzzle, admit it... Yes, this gorgeous schnoz is attached to fabulous me! I like to lead on walks, ride well in a car, I do like my crate, and I love adults!!! Kids throw me off a little, especially the little ones; I'd prefer to be the center of attention. Oh, and I love other dogs, but I especially like playing with their toys, pawing at them when asleep and having them play on my schedule, so just make sure I get to be in charge!!! I am housetrained, very affectionate, about 54 pounds (I love food and will counter surf), happy to go with you to work (I got to go with my foster dad to his military site and got to meet all kinds of people protecting our country and i loved everyone!!!). I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, micrchipped, and I've had eyelid entropion surgery. So, I'm all set for adoption!!! I am fostering in Tucson, Arizona. Are you my forever home?December 11, 2025, 10:44 am

How cute is this little Hippo? She is only 35lbs and as sweet as pie. She is good with other dogs! And shockingly walks great on a leash.    she is in between a brush coat and a horse coat. She can definitely use some calories and some good baths.  She has been spayed and Entropion!December 4, 2025, 1:37 pm
