Description
Dog Breed: Shar Pei. To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Bella is a 3yo female purebred Sharpei who was surrendered by her owner in Memphis who could no longer care for her. Calm, low energy, low maintenance. Typical sharpei temperament… independent, aloof, wary of strangers, selective of dog buddies, loyal, intelligent with a high prey drive (cats and some small dogs). Bella had been kept outside her whole life by her owner who was gone for long hours but she quickly learned to enjoy living in the house with her foster family. Housebroken and crate trained. Good on a leash, rides great in the car. Not recommended for cats because she likes to chase them. Bella is being fostered with several smaller dog and sometimes she will chase a couple of them, she’ll play with some of them and tolerates a small male who won’t stop humping her! Bella has no history with kids so she is recommended for dog-savvy kids aged 12 and older. Initially, Bella tested positive for heartworms but she was treated without complications and cured. In addition, she had entropian both eyes but surgery was done to correct this condition.. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 45 pounds. Bella is a sweet girl who has had a hard life but those days are over. She will make a wonderful companion for a family who loves the breed. To adopt please fill out an adoption application.

Overview:
The Chinese Shar-Pei is an ancient and distinctive breed, originating in southern China where they were historically used as farm dogs, hunters, and guardians. Their most striking physical characteristic is their loose, wrinkled skin, particularly prominent in puppies, and their unique "hippopotamus" muzzle. They are a medium-sized dog with a short, rough coat that comes in a variety of solid colors. Temperament-wise, Shar-Peis are often described as independent, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Early socialization is crucial to foster their confident and calm nature. While generally good with children in their own family, their independent streak means they thrive in homes that understand and respect their unique personality. Their relatively low exercise needs and adaptable nature make them suitable for apartment living, provided they receive regular walks and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of potential health considerations, including skin fold infections, entropion (an eyelid condition), and certain allergies, requiring attentive care and regular veterinary check-ups.
