Story
Guera is a stunning Shar Pei mix with the softest expression and the most adorable tiny, flopped triangle ears you've ever seen. Those little ears perfectly frame her wrinkly forehead and soulful eyes, giving her a look that's equal parts wise and whimsical.At the shelter, Guera has been friendly with most people she meets. She enjoys companionship and wants to connect - she just prefers that connection on respectful terms. Guera can feel overwhelmed by excessive handling, but when given space and allowed to approach at her own pace, she truly shines. A gentle touch, calm presence, and affection offered when she's ready will help her blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion. Primary Color: Blonde Weight: 58.6 Age: 3yrs 2mths 2wks

Story
This guy is uber adorable! With those silly ears and that squishy jowl, he is almost irresistible! Shrimp is a super sweet boy who loves to give kisses and have all the fun! He is young and active and loves to play. He would make a great adventure partner as he loves to hike and swim and is an extremely smart boy. He is treat motivated and loves to learn and is looking for a new best friend to take on the world with. He absolutely loves all toys and swimming! Shrimp is a very active dog and loves long walks, he would benefit from an active family. Shrimp would greatly benefit from training since he does pull in the leash and is strong. He would enjoy agility training and maybe dock diving. Shrimp is not recommended to be housed with kids or cats due to a high prey drive. He has met dogs on and off leash and did okay but small dogs are not recommended. He has attempt to go after a trainers dog but was corrected and listened. Supervision is recommended for meeting others dogs. Shrimp is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. If you’re interested in meeting Shrimp please fill out an application and a volunteer will reach out within one business day. Betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
It is very difficult for us to do, but we have to try and rehome our affectionate, cuddly, friendly, loving, beautiful and protective Shar Pei/Frenchie mix dog. Meet Suzi, short for Suzuki. She just turned two years old in early March, is just under 60 pounds, but medium sized, has all her vaccines except her Rabies just expired (you would be responsible to get this done). She is very athletic, crate trained, and is pretty decent on leash. She has no medical issues whatsoever. She is potty trained, has extremely soft fur (due to her Shar Pei background) and loves taking baths! She is SUCH a wonderful dog, and our daughters absolutely LOVE her.We have to do this because she fights with one of our other dogs about once every 6 months. We have tried to give this relationship time, hoping that she would eventually grow out of it, but it continues to be a problem. She'd be happier in a home by herself and needs an experienced owner to take care of her. And I believe she'd be a perfect pet.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.May 9, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Smudge is a good boy that ended up with a skin condition and eyelid issues that likely landed him in the shelter. This handsome guy is just over a year old, according to our vet, and is a tad underweight at 43 pounds. Well, his new life is here. He navigated our let's office like a champ on day 1 out of the shelter, greeting strangers like friends! We are going to get him on some good food, medicated baths and are setting up neuter and eyelid entropion surgeries for him soon. In the meantime, we have learned he is super friendly, is fine around other dogs (mostly ignores them in favor of people), does get a little queasy in the car (drooling only) and is an all-around gentleman. We will post more as we learn about Smudge. He is fostering in the SF Bay greater area.May 9, 2026, 3:42 pm

Story
Zoé is a pure breed English Bulldog that loves company, she is the cutest dog. My wife got her since she was a puppy around 5 months of age and today she’s almost 12 years old. We brought her from Mexico to California and she has all her vaccines. She is reactive to other dogs and people that approach from behind, but I wouldn’t say she’s and agressive dog. We are looking for someone who can give her the attention she needs since we have a 2yo daughter and we can’t be with her as we used to.
