Story
Meet Molly (you may remember her as “Rita”) – a gorgeous black Shar-Pei with a heart full of love and just enough wrinkles to prove she’s wise beyond her years. Through some very sad circumstances, Molly has found her way back to Pei People, this time with her brother, Baron, by her side. We promised her that this next chapter will be the one where she finally finds her forever. Molly is a sweet, slightly timid girl who tends to favor women at first—but don’t worry, gentlemen, she just needs a little extra time to warm up. She was deeply attached to her previous mom and is already showing brave progress in bonding with her foster mom. With patience, kindness, and a few snacks, she’ll be your loyal shadow in no time. Like many Shar-Pei, Molly has a few skin issues, but this girl takes it all in stride. She hops right into the shower for her medicated baths like a pro, happily soaking up the extra scratching and lathering—it’s basically spa day in her eyes! Molly may be petite in confidence right now, but her love is enormous. With a gentle hand and a big heart, she’ll reward her forever family with loyalty, snuggles, and a daily dose of Shar-Pei charm.December 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

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 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

Story
Honey (she goes by Dolce, but we have another dog also with that name) came from a home with far too many dogs that overwhelmed the owner. Honey is 43 pounds, is recently spayed and is microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Honey is being treated for an ear infection, and is on some high quality food and fish oil to clean up her skin. She is a typical female, who can get a little growly around strangers poking and prodding (not a fan of the vet but manageable), but has lived with other dogs and kids with no issues. Her coat is cleaning up slowly with good food and some antibiotics. She came to us with a pretty patchy coat. Honey is the princess, preferring inside to out (she is completely housetrained, but just doesn't want to hang out in the yard otherwise). She is quiet, not a big barker and likes to give kisses and hugs. Honey is fostering in the Indio, California area. If you are looking for a pair, Royce came from the same home.December 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

Story
Camilla is a gorgeous cream shar-pei mix and this girl landed in the shelter after being abandoned in an RV with other dogs. Cami has lived with other dogs, but we've found she would do best as an only dog or a with neutral or submissive male dogs. She is very good with people, and apparently has seen the world (or maybe US) by car/travel. Camilla is about 4 years old, is spayed and had entropion eyelid surgery and has all her vaccines and a microchip. She is about 45 pounds. She is fostering in the San Francisco area and we will post more as we learn it.December 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

Story
Meet our distinguished Baron, a true connoisseur of the finer things in life like long naps in sunbeams, gentle ear scratches, and not lifting a paw more than necessary. He is the definition of low-maintenance: calm, sweet-natured, and perfectly content to just be near his people.   At his age, he has traded zoomies for snoozies, and honestly, who could blame him? This older fellow carries his lumps and bumps with dignity - his doctors say they are cancer, but he hasn't let that dim his spirit. He is still full of love and ready to pour it into the lucky family who opens their home to him.   Bath time? He's a champ. Nail trims? Not a problem. In fact, he is about as close to spa-day perfect as it gets! Who doesn't love a dog that's both sweet and cooperative?   He may not have forever, but Baron has got right now, and right now he's  dreaming of a cozy spot to call home, where he can soak up sunshine, affection, and all the love he so deeply deserves.   This wrinkly-faced gentleman is proof that sometimes the most perfect companions come with a little extra character and a whole lot of heart.   December 1, 2025, 3:01 pm

Story
Hi there! I`m Diva! Yes, the name fits. I`m a dog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and an even bigger love for toys. Squeaky, bouncy, crinkly, fluffy, If it’s a toy, it’s mine. I’ll parade it around like a trophy and dare you not to be impressed.Treats? Don’t even get me started. I’ve got a sixth sense for snack bags opening. One crunch and I’ll be right there, sitting like an angel. I’ve definitely mastered the “I’ve never eaten in my life” look. It works every time. But honestly, the best part of my day? Playtime with my humans. Tug-of-war, fetch, chase.. I’m always ready. And when the games are done and you finally sit down, that’s when I really shine. I’ll nuzzle into your side, maybe flop right into your lap if you let me, because I live for affection. Belly rubs, ear scratches, even just hearing your voice makes my tail go wild. Basically, if you’re looking for a four-legged shadow who loves hard, plays harder, and wants all your attention, I’m your girl. I’m Diva! I was born to be adored.
