He’s perfect just the way he is—he just needs someone to give him a chance and a little time to adjust! ❤️ Lawrence is 24 months old and about 45 pounds. He’s a gentle, sweet boy who starts off shy but loves being near his people. He does especially well with friendly, confident dogs who help him feel safe. He’s looking for someone patient who will let him settle in at his own pace. Once he does, you’ll have a sweet, steady companion who is so worth the wait. ❤️   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  October 4, 2026, 10:52 pm

Story
Some girls are happy to ride shotgun. Rolls? She prefers the back seat—preferably with a stuffy in her mouth, a big grin on her face, and someone admiring her from the front. Rolls comes with a story, and like so many of our Pei People dogs, the people in her life weren’t always the best advocates for her. She and her buddy Royce went back and forth during a divorce, and at one point Rolls was living—or should we say existing—in a home with nearly 20 dogs and a couple kids. Many of those dogs eventually found their way to Pei People. When Rolls was being left outside during the day and started barking, she was taken to the shelter. Fortunately, her story didn't end there. Because Rolls is 100% Shar Pei girl, and she has some very definite opinions about how things should be run. At 35–40 pounds, she's on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you. Rolls is going to be the boss. If you're a seasoned Shar Pei person, you know exactly what we're talking about. Rolls may give another dog one good correction to make sure everyone understands the organizational chart. After that, we're expecting everyone to respect the chain of command. Other dogs in her future home will need to be comfortable with a confident female who likes to be in charge. She's also lived with cats—and thankfully, cats don't seem particularly interested in participating in the canine power structure. And honestly, Rolls would be perfectly happy to be your one and only. She doesn't need a pack to make her happy. What she really wants is her people. Because here's where Rolls' tough-girl reputation falls apart… This girl bonds HARD. Once you're her person, you're HER person. She wants to be close, snuggle on the couch, and be involved in whatever you're doing. Personal space? Rolls isn't familiar with the concept. Especially at bedtime... And that means Rolls isn't the dog for someone who works twelve-hour shifts, travels constantly, or plans to leave her home alone for 14 hours a day. She would be devastated. Rolls has spent enough of her life being passed around and left to figure things out on her own. What she needs now is a person or family who actually wants a dog who wants to be with them. She's also a car ride enthusiast. Nothing will make you smile quite like looking in the back seat and seeing Rolls cruising along with a stuffy toy hanging out of her mouth and that big Shar Pei grin on her face. ❤️ And then there's bath time. Just like a gorgeous Rolls Royce, this girl likes to shine. ✨ Unlike many Shar Pei, Rolls doesn't need to be convinced that a bath is a good idea. No wrestling. No bribery. No negotiations. Open the tub and Rolls will happily jump right in. She's beautiful, she's confident, she's affectionate, she's got a little attitude—and after everything she's been through, Rolls is ready for someone who will appreciate all of her. She may not believe in personal space. She may believe she's the CEO of the household. She may occasionally need to remind the other dogs who's in charge. Or she may decide that being your one and only is the perfect arrangement. But if you're looking for a Shar Pei girl who will adore her people, make you laugh, happily go for a car ride, jump into the bathtub, and then snuggle herself right into your side… Rolls might just be your girl. Rolls is ready to roll into her forever home. She is fostering in the Corona, CA area.October 4, 2026, 10:54 pm

Story
Daisy is an amazing female shar-pei, who grew up with a family that socialized her with other dogs, kids and even cats.   She is used to hanging out with the family.   Sadly, the family lost their housing and Daisy is looking for a family that she can have more fun with. Daisy is described as playful, energetic, friendly and affectionate, but she can also be quiet, shy and nervous.  She was used to sleeping on the bed, but would adjust to a dog bed if needed.   She has been to the dog park, does pull on the leash (her last vet appointment clocked her at 46 pounds so you will get a workout), and knows how to use a dog door.  She can be reactive with other dogs when walking on leash, so an owner that has experience with distraction and/or will work on training is a plus. She isn't a fan of mailmen and would prefer to walk over car rides.   She doesn't a jump over the gate/fence, doesn't counter surf for human food, isn't a digger and only barks at people at front door...practically perfect! Daisy loves to be outside and is said to be very loyal to her people - could that be you? Daisy is fostering in North Orange County, CA.  She is spayed and is up to date on vaccines and microchipped.    October 4, 2026, 10:54 pm

Story
Meet Cake, a Boxer mix puppy who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. Rescued alongside her sister Brownie, Cake is now learning what it means to feel safe, cared for, and loved - and she's embracing it with enthusiasm. Cake is the slightly more confident of the two, often taking the lead during playtime, but she's also incredibly affectionate. She loves toys, cuddles, and giving kisses, and she adores being close to her people. She's doing great with potty training, knows how to use potty pads, rides well in the car, and is remarkably well behaved for a young rescue puppy. Cake is friendly with other dogs and eager to keep learning as she grows. She would love to stay with Brownie, but she's also confident enough to thrive in a loving home of her own. Please visit our website www.promise4paws.org to fill out an adoption application to this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Millie is a 3-year-old Boxer-American Staffie mix adult female. She is a Mama who was rescued from a high-kill shelter, along with her six 2-week-old puppies, on the day they were scheduled to be euthanized. Fast forward 8 weeks: Millie is on her own and recovering beautifully after caring for her puppies. Millie weighs 53 pounds and is full of love and sweetness. She’s decompressing in a foster home and getting plenty of TLC. Millie is crate-trained and well-behaved at home. She loves the children she’s met, especially those over 10 years old. She enjoys car rides and yard adventures. Millie walks great on a leash and loves to play with bones and toys. Once she feels better, she will be spayed by our rescue vet and get another wellness exam. She is current on vaccinations, was dewormed, received her comprehensive fecal test, and is microchipped. Millie was protective of other dogs around her puppies, which is normal. Now that Millie is in a foster home away from her puppies, our trainer will assess her and provide the training she deserves for success. She’s an absolute gem—affectionate, playful, silly, grateful, and thankful for the love and support from Doggie Bonez Rescue volunteers. Adopt amazing Millie. If you're interested in adopting Millie, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Millie's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. Doggie Bonez will provide you with everything you need, including dog food, a bed, toys, medical attention (if required), and more. So, if you're interested, please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their forever home and complete the foster application.March 8, 2026, 12:19 am
