Description
Dog Breed: Shar Pei. Meet Pei Pei! Pei Pei is a five-year-old Shar-Pei. Both of his 80+ yr old owners are unable to take care of him and one of them suffers from dementia. Therefore, we are trying to find him a new home otherwise, they plan to put him down. When Pei Pei is on medication, he gets along well with his dog friends at the in-home doggie day care where he stays about 4 months every year. Pei Pei has property destruction behavior when his human is not home or away from home for a long time. However, he is very well-behaved when he is on medication. It is suspected that Pei Pei has separation anxiety and will need to be on medication consistently. Pei Pei will need a loving owner who will be home for most of the time. It is possible for him to have dog siblings but they will need to be very calm. Not sure if Pei Pei is good with cats and children since he hasn’t had an opportunity to have contact with any. Pei Pei can't wait to meet you! Interested in adopting this pet? Please contact us at questionsawishforanimals for more info.

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.
