We make every effort to make good matches for the new owner and the dogs available for adoption and the application makes that job so much easier. Most dogs come to us from shelters or pounds or from homes where there has been a move, divorce, allergies, the birth of a child, or just not enough time. The dogs are placed in a foster home for care until a permanent home is found. While in the foster home, the dog's temperament is evaluated to determine how well it gets along with children and other pets, but most of all, to determine what type of home would offer the best prospect for a happy and lasting relationship. Safe Environment Statement Experience has taught us that the safest environment for a Rescued Shar-Pei includes a fenced area or yard.
Loose dogs are at high risk for injury or death and can be a menace to others.
Fencing allows the dog to have an exercise area so the owner does not have to walk the dog several times a day. However, the fenced enclosure is not a living space. The dogs must reside primarily indoors. Leaving a dog alone repetitively for long periods of time invites behavior and health problems. The questions on our adoption application are designed to generate a personal dialogue regarding responsible pet ownership.
