**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to OR for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees. Meet Dot – Your New Best Friend! 🐾 Dot is a sweet and soulful Shar Pei mix with a heart full of love! This adorable girl is fully grown, weighs in at a 31 pounds, and is estimated to be around 2–3 years old. Dot is the total package—gentle, playful, and incredibly affectionate. She gets along wonderfully with adults, kids, and other dogs, especially in casual settings like walks or group play. (We’re not sure how she feels about cats just yet!) Dot is very food-motivated and already knows commands like “sit,” “go to bed,” and how to settle into her crate. She’s perfectly crate-trained and has never had an accident with us. Her previous foster raved about her house manners and how much she loves to cuddle. Whether she's playing fetch, enjoying a walk, or curling up for snuggles, Dot is happiest when she's with her people. Her dog walker calls her "an absolute joy to be around"—and we couldn’t agree more. If you're looking for a loving, well-mannered companion with the cutest little face, Dot might just be your perfect match! 💕 Interested in becoming a forever home for Dot Pei?

Story
Meet Ginger! Ginger came to us from a shelter in Idaho after she was found as a stray alongside another dog she had been living with. We're not sure how anyone could leave behind such a sweet and loving girl, especially considering that she has very limited vision, estimated at 10% or less. Despite her vision impairment, Ginger has so much love to give and is ready to find her forever home. She is looking for a safe, calm, and patient environment where she can learn her surroundings, build confidence, and enjoy the security and comfort she deserves. Once Ginger becomes familiar with her environment, she can relax and thrive, enjoying all the simple pleasures of a loving home. She is a gentle soul who will reward her new family with loyalty, affection, and companionship. Ginger is estimated to be 5-6yrs old, is spayed and UTD on all vaccines.  She is fostering in the Boise, ID area. Visit www.peipeople.com to complete an adoption application.

Story
Are you dreaming of a dog who will make you laugh and can keep up with you, with the softest coat and most ridiculous hops? We offer you Sir Ziegfeld Von Boingington III — Ziggy to us commonfolk.    How Ziggy ended up alone in rural Washington is a mystery, but a Good Samaritan found him and got him to Pei People. He immediately surprised his foster home with his unabashed happiness, perpetual smile, and absolute sweetness.    At around 18mos old, Ziggy is full of energy and loves life; he needs a yard to let him Zig, Zag, and Zoomie. He’s wary of strange loud things, so city life isn’t really his speed, as much as he loves meeting new people.    Ziggy is a pretty quick learner and loves to figure it out. He’d be fun to do more advanced training on with obedience or even backyard level agility! He has training basics down, is crate trained and would probably be a great hiking buddy.    Lord Z hasn’t been tested around kids yet, and his zest for life might accidentally topple smaller humans. He’s great around dogs his size but is too much for cats or small/fragile dogs — it’s not prey drive, rather play drive.  Everyone who has met him loves him and he has done great at the dog park.

Meet Sir Wrinklesworth! 🐾 Sir Wrinklesworth is a 1-year-old, 52-pound Chinese Shar-Pei mix with an unforgettable wrinkly face and plenty of personality to match! This handsome boy was saved from euthanasia at the Hesperia shelter in California and is now ready to leave his past behind and find the family he deserves. Sir Wrinklesworth does well with other dogs with proper introductions. He does have a high prey drive, so he is looking for a home without cats or small dogs. We recommend a home with kids ages 8+ who can appreciate his personality, understand his boundaries, and be respectful companions. At just a year old, Sir Wrinklesworth has so much life ahead of him. He’s ready for a family who will give him the love, structure, and companionship he needs to thrive. His adoption fee is $295, which includes his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. Think Sir Wrinklesworth could be your guy? Apply to meet him today! 🐶❤️

Story
Meet Cass (Short for Casper) 👻❤️ She's the friendliest little ghost puppy you'll ever meet! Cass isn’t always great at first impressions. Meeting new people can be a little overwhelming for her, so she may need a few minutes to settle in. But don’t let that fool you, because once she feels safe, she’s guaranteed to steal your heart. She is one of the warmest, funniest, cuddliest, most loving dogs you’ll ever meet. At just 11 months old, Cass is a Shar Pei/bully breed mix weighing about 50 pounds. Cass is both completely deaf and visually impaired. When she arrived, she needed entropion surgery to correct her painful eyelids, and her surgery was a huge success. Despite her challenges, Cass approaches life with incredible resilience, joy, and love. She absolutely thrives around other dogs and would love a home with medium or large canine companions. She enjoys dogs of every size, but because she plays with the same enthusiasm regardless of her playmate’s size, we think she’d be happiest with dogs who can match her energy. Cass walks beautifully on a leash, settles nicely in her kennel at night, and loves both playtime and cuddle time equally. She would do well in a home with children ages 5 and up. She would do best in a home without cats. This sweet girl is eager to learn, eager to love, and eager to be someone’s best friend. If her future family wanted to teach her hand signals—or even learn a little sign language with her—we think she’d absolutely blossom. Cass is truly a beautiful soul who deserves a patient, loving family willing to see past her disabilities and recognize the incredible dog she is. She may not be able to hear your voice, but she has a special way of knowing exactly where the love is. One last thing: Cass is incredibly passionate about giving kisses. Keep a slobber towel nearby, because while she may not hear you coming, the moment she knows you’re there, she’ll shower you with all the kisses your heart can handle. Cass's adoption fee is $295 and she's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet Cass today!

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Teeka, a 1 year 7 month old spayed female, Boxer mix, 42lbs. She is in a foster home in Houston, TX and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up! The amazing Teeka is on the hunt for her forever home. She specializes in best friending with an emphasis on playing! She currently lives with several larger dogs and is learning to respect their boundaries. She LOVES to play with them, but does need some help realizing when her foster siblings are ready to stop. She has not met any cats, so we’re not sure how she’d react to a feline sibling. Her foster mom says she’s done well meeting new human friends and is learning not to jump on them. Because of this and her high energy levels, we do recommend a home with older dog savvy kids. This smartie is house and crate trained! She sleeps quietly in her crate and is kenneled whenever her foster family is out of the house. We don’t recommend leaving her out unsupervised as she may help herself to whatever she finds in the kitchen. Teeka’s love for food is next level and she will try to sneak a bite from you or the other dog’s bowls, but has shown no signs of resource guarding. She is still working on her leash manners, but is getting better every day! She gets a little too excited when she sees other dogs, but is learning to calm down and continue on her walk. This happy girl absolutely loves toys! She knows where the toy basket is and will get one so you can join in the fun. She’s a huge fan of fetch and tug of war! Teeka is learning the joys of relaxing too. She loves to lay on your legs and get some pets and give some kisses. She’s happy just to be near her humans. Teeka is a young pup with boundless energy that will thrive in a home with a yard, daily exercise, training and patience. She’s a goofy, happy, loving girl and with just one look into those pretty doe eyes, your heart will melt! ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?

Story
Ann Marie is the kind of dog who makes you wonder why anyone ever leaves the couch in the first place. One look at her wiggly little body, her happy piggy-snorts, and her dramatic belly-flop routine and you’ll understand exactly why her foster calls her the absolute sweetest girl ever. Honestly, “Ann Marie” feels a little too formal for a dog whose greatest passions in life are naps, snacks, belly rubs, and aggressively cuddling anyone who dares sit down near her. This girl is basically a professional snuggler. She may not have the trophy to prove it, but she is fully convinced she won first place years ago. Her signature move? The Belly Roll™. The second she senses affection might be available, she’ll dramatically plop onto her back, wiggle-wiggle across the couch, and patiently wait for her spa treatment. Belly rubs are not optional in Ann Marie’s world… they are simply part of the daily schedule. Watch her rolls and wiggles in action here! https://youtu.be/8SoGUl3IYv8 At around 8 years old and 50 pounds, Ann Marie has perfected the art of being the ideal low-maintenance companion. We think she may be a boxer/beagle mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! She’s happy to snooze beside you during a movie marathon, supervise your patio lunch date, join you for a beach day, or accompany you on leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. She’s got enough goofy sparkle left to make you laugh every day, but none of the “chaos gremlin” energy that comes with younger dogs. She is the perfect mix of silly and settled. Her foster says she spends most of her day happily napping on the couch, and honestly? She’s extremely talented at it. Ann Marie absolutely adores people. She lights up around affection and naturally gravitates toward human companionship wherever she goes. She’s lived with a child and done wonderfully, and her foster says she’s been around large groups of people in the home and happily soaked up every ounce of attention. She’s the kind of dog who wants to quietly exist alongside her people, occasionally waddling over for kisses and couch cuddles before returning to her very important nap schedule. When it comes to other dogs, Ann Marie is very much a “thank you, but I already have my people” kind of girl. She’s confident, socially appropriate, and has shown respectful greetings and easy leash manners around other dogs, but she isn’t particularly interested in doggy friendships or chaotic playgroups. Her behavior team described her as more of a roamer who prefers calm energy and personal space. Because of that, Ann Marie would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home where she can fully relax and soak up all the attention. However, with the right match, she may also do well with a calm, confident, lower-energy male dog who respects boundaries and doesn’t try to constantly engage her. If there’s already another dog in the home, her rescue team would want a trainer discussion beforehand to help ensure it’s the right fit for everyone involved. She has also done well around cats, but she would do best with calm, dog-savvy kitties who mostly keep to themselves. Ann Marie isn’t looking for a feline wrestling partner, so playful cats who want to zoom around, swat at her, or constantly get in her face probably wouldn’t be her style. A mellow, respectful cat companion would be much more her speed. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, rides wonderfully in the car, walks beautifully on leash, and doesn’t need much exercise beyond short strolls and sniffy adventures. She would be an amazing apartment dog. And she would be just as content with a yard to sunbathe in. Her ideal home would probably involve comfy furniture, soft blankets, snacks magically appearing on schedule, and humans who appreciate the finer things in life… like afternoon naps and quiet companionship. If you’re an older couple, a retired homebody, or just someone searching for a loving best friend who wants to spend her golden years snuggled up beside you, Ann Marie might genuinely be your perfect match. She’s sweet, easygoing, hilarious in her own little ways, and full of the kind of love that makes a house feel softer and warmer the second she waddles into it. And yes… she still does the happy wiggle-butt thing when treats come out. Some things never change. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Tater Tot is exactly what his name suggests- golden brown, round, hearty, a little lumpy, deeply lovable, and best enjoyed on the couch. He is estimated to be around 7 years old and is every bit the classic bulldog experience rolled into one chunky little package. Low to the ground, low on energy, and highly motivated by snacks, Tater Tot is not looking for adventure. He is looking for comfort, air conditioning, and someone who understands the beauty of a simple life. Rescue rules apply, so no promises on breed or birthday. Go watch Tater Tot on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this snack-seeking couch potato. https://youtu.be/6S8myH-_Bgc Tater Tot is wonderfully uncomplicated with people. He is confident meeting new friends, enjoys attention without demanding it constantly, and handles busy environments with the same energy as a dad walking through Home Depot on a Saturday morning. Calm. Unbothered. Mildly interested in where the treats are located. He is easy to leash, walks at the easiest pace (don’t call it slow), settles quickly, and truly seems happiest just wandering around at his own pace before finding a comfy place to lay down. And honestly? That is pretty much the dream bulldog setup. Now for the important placement note: Tater Tot really needs to be a solo dog. Not because he is aggressive or reactive, but because he is an older bulldog with absolutely zero respect for other dogs’ personal space. His entire social strategy currently revolves around awkward attempts to fast-track the relationship. This could be said a million ways but he is just wildly unconcerned with other dogs’ opinions on personal space. Here are a few- * Tater Tot approaches dog friendships with the confidence of someone who has never heard the word ‘boundaries. * Tater Tot is wildly unconcerned with other dogs’ opinions on personal space. *Tater Tot treats every dog introduction like an awkward speed date nobody agreed to attend. Some dogs tolerate it. Some absolutely will not. Tater Tot himself stays cool and unbothered but simply, it is much easier, happier, and safer to manage his freshy-boy tendencies as the only pet in the home. The good news is he genuinely does not seem to need dog friends to feel fulfilled. Tater Tot feels like a dog who would thrive in a quiet home where the daily agenda includes snacks, naps, short strolls, and rotating all his parts between sunny spots on the floor. He is low energy, easygoing with people, and recovers quickly from stressful situations. He crates well, settles well, and overall gives off “retired uncle with a recliner” energy in the absolute best way. Tater Tot does not need much. Just a comfy home, some understanding of classic bulldog quirks, and someone willing to love a sweet older guy exactly as he is. Ready to welcome Tater Tot home?
