***ADOPTED***
๐บ๐ธ !๐บ๐ธ
Sweet Shar-pei Elle is just about 1 year old. She came to the shelter as a stray dog, and no one came to find her, so here she is, dreaming of a new loving forever home. She knows the command sit and likes a tasty treat as a reward. She has a gentle mouth when taking treats from you. She takes a minute to warm up to new people which is typical of her breed. Her left eye recently had to be removed after the vet exam revealed that it was abnormal and would be problematic for her. This charming girl is now feeling much better with that gookie gooey boo-boo eye gone. She is doing just fine with one eye, as most dogs do when they lose an eye.
A Shar-pei is not a breed for just anybody. Definitely do your research before adopting one to make sure she has the traits and characteristics that will be a good fit for your family. Some of the things you will learn: They are reserved and independent, devoted to their family, affectionate, like to snuggle, intelligent, and guarded with strangers. They are NOT typically high-energy, and do NOT require a ton of exercise. They are wary of other dogs. Not big fans of the water, so bath time could be interesting. Please do look up more info on the internet. We want her to have a forever family this time, please, with people will love her and properly care for her.
If you'd like to meet her, please do give us a call and we'll set up some get-acquainted time for you with her out in the play yard. She'd like to meet you!
