Story
Meet Donette: Your Wrinkly Walking Companion! Looking for a leash-walking superstar with adorable rolls for days? Say hello to Donette, a charming shar-pei who's ready to trot into your heart! This spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated lady has mastered the art of the neighborhood stroll—though fair warning, she's got some serious prey drive when it comes to cats on the run! What Makes Donette Special: • __Perfect Leash Manners__ (after the initial excitement wears off!) • __Crate Trained Pro__ – sleeps like a dream and eats her meals politely in her den • __Gentle Treat Taker__ with zero food aggression • __Easy-Going for Grooming__ – ears, paws, tail? No problem! • __Dog-Friendly__ (with proper introductions) and currently living harmoniously with other pups. She much prefers the calmer dogs in the home and avoids the rambunctious puppish dogs (so annoying!) Donette's Dream Home: This sweet girl thrives in a calm, adult-only household where she can decompress and build confidence at her own pace. She's still learning that toys are fun and would love a patient family who understands that unpredictable movements and loud noises make her nervous (hence no small kids). Give her space around her head, and she'll reward you with loyalty and companionship! __Ideal Match:__ Adults or older kids only, no small children, cat-free home, patient dog lovers who appreciate a work-in-progress with tons of potential! She is probably a one person dog. Ready to give Donette the peaceful, loving home she deserves? She's waiting to meet you! She is fostering in Southern California (San Bernadino county).March 7, 2026, 1:57 pm

Story
Betty is an amazingly happy and spunky shar-pei that was surrendered from a home with way too many dogs. She is great with other dogs and kids. She is a great alarm for strangers and deliveries, barking appropriate warnings. Betty is cautious with strangers and will bark initially at strangers, but once she decides you're are okay, you are in!!! With her chosen/trusted people, she loves attention and is the first to show up and get in line when you pay attention to any other dog. She loves her rubs on her face and body. She loves to run/zoomies, but she is also calm & will sleep all day if given the chance. Betty enjoys laying in the sun at times. Betty is totally house trained and is completely fine left in the house. Not crate trained. She will panic if left in a room by herself. She wants to please, but not much obedience experience. Loves giving kisses. Betty would do best in a dog savvy calm home, who can read clues that she gives when she’s nervous or uncomfortable. Her foster is working on calmer car rides. She will sleeps in bed with you, and she comes when called, and takes treat with manners. She is good on walks, but still room for improvement on leash skills. Did we mention her absolutely gorgeous coat?? Betty is spayed, has had entropion eyelid surgery, is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She is fostering in the San Diego area.March 8, 2026, 3:51 pm

Story
This is Darlene. You don’t adopt Darlene. Darlene adopts you then critiques your life choices from the couch. In truth she is a professional cuddler, part-time zoomie champion, and a full-time good girl. She is fantastic with other dogs and her currently bestie in her foster home is another female shar pei...yep she is that good of a girl! Darlene is great with kids and in fact lived with kiddo's in her previous home. This girl is like most shar pei and fastidiously clean and would never even consider having an accident in the house. Her current hobbies include: -Following you to the bathroom (safety first) -Accepting snacks that she did not earn -Doorbell alarm system operator -Toy de-stuffing (surgery without a license) Darlene is the girl that doesn't care if you're rich, poor, tall, short, or binge-watch true crime every night - if you will love her, she is yours forever. She has been waiting for someone to pick her. Not because she is broken-just because she hasn't met YOU yet. If you think you might belong together. She is patiently waiting in the Riverside, CA area ...practicing her tail wags. Darlene is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and absolutely perfect shar pei eyesMarch 7, 2026, 1:57 pm

Story
Luna is a fun, playful, and funny girl. She is a 1 year old shar pei and American bulldog mix. I got her as a puppy after she was found abandoned. I unfortunately have to look for a new home for Luna because my mom passed away and things have gotten hard in my home. I am a full time college student, I am constantly busy so I believe I don’t fulfill Luna’s needs. I believe a new owner would be better for Luna’s overall quality of life. Luna loves walks, exploring new places, playing, and overall just being around people for company. She thrives off companionship. She's very goofy. Her favorite snack is peanut butter, she'll do anything to get that peanut butter, and she makes cute, funny snoring sounds when she sleeps. Luna would be great with an owner who has the time to give her attention, activity, and love she deserves and needs. Luna will be extremely loyal and affectionate in return.
