Dudley was found as a stray in Phoenix AZ. He made it out of the shelter because his foster mom made room for him at her house! She is an angel and has nothing but great things to say about this boy. He is friendly and loves everyone he meets. He seeks out attention and will lean in for pets. This poor guy has a few lumps and bumps that we will have checked out but we really felt this guy deserved to live his best life and not be put to sleep in a shelter December 1, 2025, 10:12 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!November 13, 2025, 1:52 pm

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?November 23, 2025, 2:34 pm

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

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 4, 2025, 10:30 pm

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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
Are you wondering what a shar pei rescue is doing with a pair of bulldogs...well so are we! It was a complete moment of weakness. Meet Bertha. This girl is as wide as she is tall but she has started her intermittent fasting, youtube ab videos and twice a day walks. This girl loves to walk so we are excited to see her waist line start to become visible This girl is great with people and other dogs. She did come in with her man Butkus but they do not need to be adopted together but we would love to see her go to a home with another dog. They had their first vet visit and honestly all their medical issues are pretty much identical to the medical problems we see with Shar Pei. Her tear production was reduced so we are going to assume she will need lifetime eye drops to replace that decreased tear production. Her skin was in great shape but did have an ear infection so an adopter that is familiar with weekly ear maintenance. She loves car rides and walks great on a leash. She is very friendly with all the dogs and people she meets on her daily walks.  She is fostering in Phoenix AZNovember 21, 2025, 11:14 am

Story
Meet Butkus....yep he is definitely not a shar pei. Call it a moment of weakness but seriously how could we let this guy get euthanized over some pretty breed specific medical issues which happen to be right up our alley in the shar pei world. Butkus might be the happiest boy ever. He loves everyone. His tail never stops wagging or what whatever you call that little nub.  Thank God he is cute and sweet because this guy is not the brightest bulb on the tree. So if you are the person who likes your dogs good looking and sweet and not concerned if they never figure out how to sit this is your guy! He loves car rides but so far is not a fan of walking but we are convinced with the help of Bertha he will realize how much he loves it. He is a good sized boy at 58lbs. He was seen by our vet yesterday and like Bertha did have decreased tear production in both eyes. He will need his cherry eyes addressed at time of surgery. His skin is already improved with regular bathing. Fostering in phoenix AZNovember 21, 2025, 11:36 am
