ver her back, and was so swollen that her eyes were invisible. But with care and love this girl has become a really special resident at AALOC's no-kill shelter. She will never be a beauty due to her past history, but we can tell you for sure that her heart and soul are absolutely beautiful! NOTE FROM FOSTER (2017) Note from foster: Suki is a funny, friendly dog. The vets say she is the friendliest Shar Pei they have every met. She is not beautiful - in the traditional sense - as she has scars on her back, but she always makes people smile when they meet her. Suki has a condition common to Shar Pei's called mucinosis, which affects her skin, and she is highly allergic. She takes a number of medications to control her symptoms. I must say that once you establish a routine to give meds, it is not that difficult. Fortunately Suki has no problem taking them all down. She also needs regular bathing with a medicated shampoo, with a very diluted bleach rinse to keep yeast and bacteria from forming in the many folds of her skin. She does need to make regular vet visits to monitor her progress. We offer Suki as part of our Forever Foster program, meaning we pay for all of her vet care and medication. We will also cover the expense of food. She is on a special diet. The reality is that Suki does require more care than a normal dog. But in many other ways she is a great dog. She gets along with all the other dogs in my house, even a little one who sometimes growls at her and is not at all friendly. She just looks at him as if he is a minor annoyance. She is just very good natured. Suki is also house broken. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
