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

Story
Do you need a ride or die in your life? Chloe Mei might be just the one! She is a two year old petite girl that is literally a pocket Pei. She only weighs 39 lbs This girl has done absolutely spectacular with every dog she has met...yep you read that correctly! Female dogs..no problem. Old grouchy dogs..no problem.  She loves to play so we would love a home with another playful dog that will check that box for her. We think she would do great with a dog savvy cat as this girl as no aggression and we have yet to see even the inkling of a prey drive. Kids in your life...Chloes likes them too. Want a dog that you can dress up...yep she enjoys that.  Love to go out for coffee at your local coffee shop..Chloe is up for that too. She loves a puppaccinno.  You like to Hike...yep she likes that  but can pull a bit on the leash. Her foster mom walks all three dogs at the same time and even though we think she is a bit like SuperWoman this is not a difficult girl to walk on a leash. Your dog makes a huge fuss at meal time...not Chloe. She is happy with whatever is on the menu. She is not a picky eater and in fact will compliment you on your cooking even if you are the type that tends to burn water. You prefer to sit on the couch and watch a good Netfix series...yep she likes that especially if it involves her cuddling on the couch with you and maybe a little popcorn. She LOVES snacks! This girl does like snuggling up to her people so if you don't like dogs and don't like being loved all over this IS NOT the dog for you. Looking for a Shar Pei with zero skin or eye issues. Chloe has a gorgeous velvet coat and she has already had her entropion surgery. House Trained...yep. Why would you ever get a puppy when you can have a Chloe? She would never dream of having an accident in the house! Love having lots of people to your house for the Holidays? Well this social butterfly is down for that too. Especially if her favorite people are invited over. Find barking dogs annoying..no worries this girl only barks when a new person enters the house. Hate crates...no problem this girl is so well behaved in the house she doesn't need one. Love crates..no problem she is totally fine with being crated. She sleeps in her crate in her foster home only because that is Chloe's favorite spot when its time to go to bed Your dream vacation is driving across the country and checking out all the beauty this country has to offer...no problem exactly what Chloe has on her bucket list as well! You like Beach vacations....She has the dog beach in San Diego on her bucket list as well. You like mountain vacations...well so does Chloe. Her foster family has a cabin and she adores the smell of pine trees and fresh air! If you are looking for MS PERFECT. Stop scrolling now and go to https://www.peipeople.com/adoption-application.html and fill out an application ASAP. This is seriously an awesome dog. She is loving, low-maintenance and will absolutely steal your heart She is fostering in Phoenix AZ      January 6, 2026, 1:12 pm

How cute is this little girl? She is a tiny little bundle of wrinkles.  She has done well with her dog introductions.  She loves her crate and is super treat motivated so she is going to be a joy to do some training with. Her ears were a breeze to clean and no evidence of any ear infections. She does have entropion which will be corrected with surgery 2/2/2026 but she was super easy to put the eye meds in! Ruffles loves her walks!  She loves people and will come up for pets and butt scratches! She is completely house trained which is not a surprise for a shar pei! None of us are a fan of the name Ruffles but bring this girl home and add her to your family and you can call her whatever name you love!  January 15, 2026, 1:42 am

  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. She has done great with literally every dog she has met.   Dolce is healthy. 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! She is house trained and crate trained which is huge if you have ever spent months cleaning up after puppies that are not house trained! No one wants their house smelling like a kennel! This girl has amazing skills at making you feel safe in your own home!  She has had some basic training and her foster is a professional dog trainer so she will absolutely come with support for any future training! 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 had her wellness check and her bloodwork was perfect! She has a little arthritis in both of her knees and takes an occasional doggie ibuprofen when the weather changes and she gets a bit stiff.   If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion with a whole lot of sweetness, Dolce might just be your girl. She would be ideal for first time pet owners, seniors looking for that pet to keep them active or anyone that is ready for a full time certified cuddler. We refer to her as a professional couch potato who gets the occasional zoomies She is fostering in Phoenix AZ  December 21, 2025, 4:24 pm

Story
I am a soulful, affectionate pup who craves connection, safety, and a place to truly belong. My early years were tough - I was adopted as a puppy and thought I’d found my forever home, but things didn’t go quite as planned. My first five years were full of changes and uncertainty, and eventually, I was brought back to the shelter. It was a tough time, but I’ve since moved into a foster home where I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I’ve made huge strides in building trust and confidence, and every safe, loving experience helps me grow even more. At 6 years old, I have the maturity and manners of an adult dog, but don’t let that fool you - I still have that inner puppy sparkle, a curiosity and joy that comes alive when I’m given new experiences, fun toys, and time to explore. I love outdoor adventures, cozy spaces filled with pillows and blankets, and keeping busy with my favorite chew and squeaky toys. Belly rubs and booty scratches aren’t just my favorite, they’re how I feel loved, comforted, and safe, and I have no problem making sure my people know when it’s time for affection. I’m treat motivated and eager to learn, making me easy to train and excited to work with people who want to help me continue growing. I feel most comfortable with people who are calm, kind, and patient - folks who let me take things at my own pace but are always there to guide and reassure me when I need it. I need a safe space away from other dogs and lots of hustle and bustle. I thrive on outdoor exploration, mental stimulation, and human connection. I’m very social at heart, I just struggle with trust because of my past, but the more people I bond with the more I learn that I’m wanted, safe, and loved and my personality blossoms. I’m looking for a calm, adults-only home with no other pets, where I can keep growing at my own pace. A big yard or access to outdoor exploration would help keep me engaged, and with time and love, I’ll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Are you the person who can help me keep building trust and discovering just how great life can be? Adoption Requirements: Behavior consult, no other dogs, adults only home. My adoption fee is $200 and includes the following: -2 Free private training lessons in-home or at the shelter -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at Choice Pet Market For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.

Story
Bodhi is an adult tan‑and‑white boxer mix with a soft expression and an even softer heart. This handsome guy is active, affectionate, and always ready to lean in for love. He’s a fan of the full trifecta of toys, food, and affection, which means you'll likely never be at a loss for training motivators with him. Bodhi does pull on the leash a bit, so he’ll benefit from continued practice and positive reinforcement. Social and playful, Bodhi has lived with dogs of many breeds and sizes and enjoys canine company. Because of his size and energetic nature, he’s looking for a home with children 7 and up who can enjoy his bouncy, joyful spirit. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who brings enthusiasm, sweetness, and a whole lot of charm, Bodhi might be the perfect match for your family. He’s ready to find his people and start his next chapter with love and confidence. My adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market
