This is Taino formely Zen when we rescued him in March of last year... We love him and we would not give him up for anything in the world.
He is very lovable, playful and full of energy... He loves Yogurt! That is his treat every night and once a week he eats a boiled egg with a hot dog and he loves it.
We are always looking at the site and will be adopting another one soon... Hopefully they will turn out to be like Taino...

Hi, my name is Rachael and I came to live with my new family on March 1st of this year. I was a lonely pup until then who wanted to be loved and part of a family. My foster parents brought me to my Mom and Dad's and when I pranced into the house I knew right away that this was the place for me. Everyone was warm and friendly and happy to see me. I never left after that day! I now have a human sister and brother, a canine sister named Maddie (she's a mutt, but I love her anyway) and a Shar-Pei brother named Gunner (who by the way was a rescue also) and a feline brother named George. I must admit, that I wasn't sure what he was when I first arrived, but I have to say that he's ok (but don't tell him that).
My new home is full of love and laughter and there is nothing better than curling up next to my Dad to take a nap when he is reading, or to lay in the kitchen when my Mom is cooking. Actually, there's nothing better than being a part of a family where I can give lots of love and kisses and get it all back in return. So, if you are reading this and thinking about adopting one of my fellow rescues, please do so. Making a "rescue" a part of your home is one of the most rewarding things you can do and I guarantee your Shar-Pei will love you with their entire being. Love, Rachael

We adopted Hudson and Kailani last December and they are a wonderful addition to our family. Hudson has been the best big brother to Kailani and they love to play, walk and ride in the car together. As you can see Kailani likes anything of Hudson's including the chair, his bed, or anything he may have in his mouth! Hudson is very patient but now that Kailani is getting older he challenges her just a little bit more and doesn't let her get away with everything. Kai pretty much thinks she's the Empress of the house but Hudsy knows he's the Emperor! They play a pretty good game of chase and try to get the cats involved but they would rather not. Katherine

Jim, Thank you so much for introducing us to 'Aries'. We absolutely love her. She has really fit in beautifully with our family.
We have renamed her Cocoa Puffs. She now rules the roost. SHe is so spunky and full of energy. Her Pei brother cannot keep up with her. She is
definitely not afraid of anything and loves to explore. She doesnt even mind going into the wet grass and getting her feet wet which is unheard from
her Pei brother. Her bark is feroucious but what a lover girl she is.
She loves to play and cuddle. Our other three dogs cannot keep up with
her. She loves to get her belly rubbed and her neck and if you think about
stopping she will give you a wack with her paw. She is already spoiled
rotten. She has her favorite spot on the bed and couch, but her new
lounging area is the sofa table in front of the window. She has also
become very protective of our family. When her human brothers get the
rowdy with the other dogs she will come to their defense. She is just what
our family wanted. She's definitely a blessing and we thank you for
recommending her to us. Enclosed are pics of her when we just got her. Isnt she the most beautiful puppy ever?

Maddie is so happy in her new home. We can't thank you enough! She has brought such joy and sunshine into our lives. Thanks to all the volunteers who orchestrated all of the efforts in order to get her to us. We just love her.

We wanted to send off a picture of Roman a.k.a. Romeo. As you can see he is thriving and we are more than thankful his leg tumor was benign. He is a hefty 95 pounds and is extremely active. He is such a loving puppy and we are all blessed to have him in our family. The whole rescue experience was wonderful and I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a new family member. Thanks to everyone for all your tireless efforts at saving and protecting our pei's.
Dom, Dominic and Patrisha

WonTon is doing wonderfully! He is a real joy to have around. Today he went to the vet and everyone said he was so well behaved and handsome. He enjoys sitting on his new bed and chewing on his toys, sitting with his new daddy and playing video games, and sleeping in the bed with his new mommy (when daddy isn't home!) He especially liked to nap on the couch and watch TV in his favorite chair. We are so happy with him! Sarah

The puppy is doing awesome!!! Madyson has renamed her Gabby and everyone is wonderful. She is playing with Pudge really well although she doesn't quite "get" the chase game yet, she is eating wonderfully and has only had one accident in the house and it was partially my fault. She is a joy, I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Ginger is wonderfully sweet and I see where she gets her personality from! I am so thankful that she is part of our lives. She kisses everyone to pieces and has the best personality. The hardest part was picking one! You just want to take them all home mom and all :) We can already tell she is going to be the best dog ever, smart as a whip and sweet as can be!
She LOVES our new grass as does Pudge and Ross but she is so cute, she goes out there and just lays with her little legs behind her basking in the sun while Mady swings and slides. She is just too wonderful for words! I couldn't have a better mother's day with her as a part of it. Marc, Angela, Madyson, Gabby, Rosco & Pudge

This Past Week will have been the 2 year anniversary of me adopting Junior. Owning Shar-pei's for over 17 years, I have to say Junior is the best behaved and well mannerred dog I have ever enjoyed. When we got him he did have a food agressive nature to him that was quickly broken. He is very cat friendly, and now enjoys me 24 hrs a day. Due to a recent back ailment i will no longer be able to work again, so Junior gets to enjoy frequent daily walks when my backs lets me. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with him and the service you provide. I think Junior is happy in his new life as I am. I have decided I will adopt Shar-peis from here on end. Junior is the sparkle in my eye and I hope he lives to a ripe old age like my previous Shar-pei Kato who lived to 14 yrs old.

Thank you , we really enjoy having him! Gabi

Hello Everyone, just wanted to let everyone know how wonderful adopting Zach has been. He is full on energy and makes us laugh all the time. We all love him so much, and our other dogs seem to like him too. He's quite used to sleeping on the bed now, and we have gotten used to his snoring. Thanks again, Emily and family

Happy Valentines Day!
Love Lucy Lou

I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know about KaCee. He is doing great. We are so thankful for him. Scott jokes that he is actually a Jack Russell in a Shar-pei suit, because he digs and is FULL of energy. Not the typical couch potato Shar-pei. We love him dearly.
He immediately made himself at home. He and Gilby get along great. They are constantly wrestling all over the house.
The timing for him joining our family was perfect we lost our Fluffy in December. It was very sudden and of course heart wrenching. She died from renal failure. She was only 11 years old. Having KaCee made things a little better, he is a ray of sunshine.
Thank you again for all you do for Shar-pei.
Scott, Peg, Fluffy, Gilby and KaCee!

Wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year. Our best wishes for a year filled with lots of happy endings for the Shar-Peis that find their way to FSPR.
I've attached a photo of Sooli from this Christmas. Barb, you saw those first pictures of her when she turned up in Atlanta. Can you believe what a little beauty she's turned into? I'm keeping you guys on my "preferred charity" list and will continue to send donations to help underwrite the cost of your good work throughout 2008.
Fondly ... Deb, Marian, and Sooli

I just wanted to let everyone know how our Zach is doing. He's so wonderful and playful. We had a few dominance issues with our other male, but they have worked out all differences. He still can't figure out the cats, and he just see's them as little play toys.
Again, I hope he just gets tired of them hissing and swatting at him. He sleeps on the bed and snores very loud! But we all love it and he has brought much joy to our home. We'll keep you updated and send some pictures.
Thanks again, Emily

In case you haven't heard, Winston has gone to a wonderful family in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. He has a 15 month old sister, a red fawn Pei, named Ruffles. They get along very well. In fact, Ruffles' friends at their play park are having a baby shower for Winston. Once again, thank you all for everything you did for Winston. Without your help, none of this would have been possible.
Here are Winston & Ruffles celebrating Christmas 2007 and the fact that Winston has found his new FurEver home.

We've all fallen in love with Blue (and, I think, Blue with us). He is so wonderful (although extremely hardheaded). He loves all our other dogs (including a 6-month-old I'm fostering for a rescue) and is even starting to tolerate the cats. He is learning to like other people as well. I think that as he gains confidence in our love for him, he becomes more trusting of others.
The changes I have seen in Blue since he came to our house are amazing. He has calmed down so much and become so much more mellow. All of his previous anxiety has left him. He even trusts us enough to let us drag him into the shower for a "bath." I would certainly be happy to talk with any perspective pei adopters about how a dog can change so significantly once they feel safe in a family.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know how Blue and his family were doing. Thank you so much for allowing us to welcome Blue into our home. He's a real gem.

Jaxson has adapted so well to our family. He became instant friends with his new sister Liza. He loves to lay around on top of us. He definitely has no issues with personal space. We have enjoyed him so much! Thank you guys for all you do!

Hi Barb, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I am learning how to send pictures on my computer and I told you I would send some of Buster Brown when I did learn so here you are.
You can see for yourself how spoiled he is now...:)

Twiggy is wonderful...we
could not have asked for a better dog. As a previous owner of shar peis
I had high expectations, but Twiggy surpassed them all. She is of course
spoiled, even though she may have to fight for some attention in a few months
because my wife and I are expecting a little one. Not to worry, Twiggy will
always be our "first born". People are just amazed at how great she is with
little kids, doesn't eat furniture, is housetrained and everything else you
already know but love to hear from us. I have to say, she does like me better
than my wife and will sit at my feet when I'm at the computer or watching
TV. She is very healthy and so active and fun to play with.
Thanks, Brad

Thought you would like a picture of our 2 babies. Tucher and Molson were adopted from their foster mom, Amy. Both are doing great. Molson was born with a heart murmur that is now gone. They are the best of friends, and their mom and dad could not love them any more. They now live in Parkland, FL.

Hi Sue,

Keep in touch, Scott, Peg, Fluffy, Gilby and KaCee!

I just wanted to let everyone see some new pics of Princess and Justice.
Many of you already know about our new babies but for
those of you who do not they are our new additions to the family.
Justice is about 4 1/2 months old and is a Shar-Pei/ Beagle mix. Princess is
about 11 months and is full Shar-Pei. They are such a joy to have around and
we are very in love with the pair of them! Nikki

Truman LOVES our yard. Now that we are on our second Shar-pei, we're
realizing how many of Jefferson's traits weren't just his quirky personality,
but due to his breed. Truman, as Jefferson did before him, is starting
to patrol his yard. We used to call Jefferson "The Police", and Truman
is following suit. Truman polices everyone in the yard, makes sure they
are where he thinks they should be, and runs after anyone who tries to leave.
He's just fitting in so well -- our family feels more complete once again!
Thanks, Pamela

Just wanted to update everyone on Ziggy and send a couple of photos taken this morning. He has settled in and is doing great. He enjoys being able to just wander around in the yard and sniff all the smells and see all there is to see. He also loves the bed and his sleep spot now is the master bed. LOL. Also sending a photo of Rebecca taken this morning (she's my Orlando oldster and 11). Bronia

We Adopted TEI on June 3, (that's when we also found out his real name was MUSHU). Just wanted to let you know that he has settled in very well and is getting along very well with his brother BUBBA who is a pomeranian. They like to steal their toys from each other. Just wanted you to know how much we enjoy him and love him. When I took him to our Vet, they were impressed as to how relaxed and friendly he was. They said he was a great dog and on a scale of 1 to 10 for a Sharpei Mushu rates 10. I have also send along some pictures. As you can see he and his Human father like to sleep on the couch.
Thanks again for such a wonderful dog.

Just wanted to send you a Pic and info about Saboo (formerly known as Izzy).
We have settled in a nice house in Jacksonville with a fenced yard, but he
spends most of his time lying next to his adopted mom's feet and follows
her around all day long. We have to keep him on medication for his skin allergy,
but fur looks great and we get complements all the time. He gets to run and
play at the Jacksonville Dog Park where we bought a membership for him. He
ended up being an XXL Shar-Pei, weighing in at 87 lbs (wow). He and his
new adopted father love to wrestle and roughhouse as soon as the daddy gets
home from work every day.
Thank you all so much, he has helped as much to fill a void in our lives as we
did his after losing 2 shar-peis to old age (10 and 12). Bruce and Marianna

Hi, Barb and Ron. Here's my new vacuum cleaner. I call it the DOUBLE BARREL
CORDLESS VACUUM. What one side misses, the other one gets. Samsun is an
absolute joy. We gave him a bath this weekend, and dremeled his nails. He was
great. Love him, Love him, Love him.
See ya, Sue

Thank you so much for sending your website to me. I had it saved to my favorites since the day I saw Sheng. I looked at it everyday. He is such an AWSOME baby. We love him so much. I think he might be getting tired of have so many kisses on his nose. His noise and checks are my favorite part. He climes up in my lap and lays on me at night. When the kids go to bed he knows it is just Sheng and mommy time. My husband gets jealous sometimes and calls him over so he can love on him, it�s so funny.
He went to my mommy�s home on Saturday. We celebrated Mother�s Day with my family on Saturday morning with all the family. I had 2 sisters, 2 brothers, 1 brother�s friend, 1 niece, 1 nephew, Mom, hubby & my kids, great granny, and Sheng were all there. My mom has 2 dogs and they got along great. We all ate breakfast outside at the picnic table. It was nice and cool and everyone got along. On Sunday Biggn�s family came over and meet Sheng. His mom and step dad love Sheng. His grandmother is truly not an animal person to say the least but we caught her petting him a couple of times. I guess she did not think anyone was watching her. LOL�She was so BUSTED!!!
I will be sending you pictures soon. Thanks for everything! Alana

Hi Barb, this is Brenda, we adopted Gus and Ming.
Gus has gained about 12 pounds,
he is very spoiled,he loves his baths & over medium eggs. He sleeps in my bed
with me at night, but that tail wags all day, although on Sundays it takes him
about 45 minutes to get out of bed. He loves his walks and the cat curls up in
his stomach at night we will forward pictures soon.
As for Ming my mother said he is the star of the neighborhood and now has a friend, a female pomeranian named Josie, they both love the snow and are inseprable. We will be ready to get a permanent playmate for gus around the fall. Thank you so very much as these 2 have filled our homes and our hearts.

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for having Dr. Vidt's address on your website. I went there, found the FAQ section and was able to see that my dog's edemitis rear hocks were something he not only knew about, but had
suggestions for deflating her swelling. She recently had a minor surgery
for some benign tumors and when he cut into her, she flowed lymph. He had never seen it and was concerned. After seeing the article from Dr. Vidt, I called Shane and he went to the site and learned from it also.
Thanks
again for the info. It has been really helpful and it takes a bit of the
unknown and makes it easier to deal with the sweetie that I have.
Piko is a Shar Pei mix we got in Hawaii in 2000. She is 7 and a great girl.
All the best, Joe

Hi Barb, Leigh, and Amy, I've attached our first pictures. Zoe and Polar love each other!
We introduced them at the dog park and they immediately liked each other. Except for rare few moments of quiet, they have played all night long. Amazingly it is Polar that stops playing and Zoe is still going strong! I think we fulfilled Zoe's dreams.
Polar was a bit reticent with us initially. But after his second walk he is allowing me to grab him and pet him. I still have to give a bit of a chase but he is much more compliant than this afternoon.
I'll send more pictures in a few days. I can't wait to see the two of them sleeping together.
I appreciated Leigh's call and all your offers of assistance should I have any further questions. Thanks everyone for all your help!
Sincerely, Peggy

Just a short note to let you know how much we love Leo. Breanna, Austin, Blair and I just love having him as a member of our family. He has settled in so well that it's like he's been here forever. As you can see by this picture he considers himself one of the family. We take him over to my mom and dad's 3 times a week for Peibie Daycare and he loves playing with their foster Peis. He especially enjoys visiting with his Pei harem, and the female Pei's absolutely adore him. Thank you for rescuing this precious Peibie and for letting us give him his forever home.

 Hello Barb, I had promised to stay in touch, and give you an update on Ruffles.
First and foremost, I would like once again to say Thank you to both, you an
Chandra! Ruffles is the Angel into my life, an Angel, that was so needed to brighten
my days. Ruffles is doing very well, we bond so strong together, that our friends
calls us inseparable. He is lovable, very well behaved, and with amazing personality.
I love him to death, and will never have it any other way. He loves to play
with his toys, sleeps next to Mommy and goes for a walk every day. On the weekends
we always visit the Paw Playground. As you probably know from my previous e-mail,
he is also a member of Dogster, where he has all of his most resent pictures
and diary for his activities. Here is his link: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/403050/sniff
He is my precious Sunshine!
Kind Regards, Dessi

 Hi Barb: Just an update on Chi Chi. She is such a delight. She
has turned into a lap dog (all 46 lbs of her) and a bed mate.
She wants body contact. She has a friend (Standard Air dale)
who is teaching her it is alright to walk in the dark. They play
together while walking but she is never far from him. His owner
I guess has been ill as we have not seem them for two weeks and
she sits and waits for him on the corner. She is scared to death
of the dark and thunderstorms. Finally she is able to ride in
the car without getting sick. Even as sick as she used to get
she would sit by the car or near the utility door to go out to
the car. Every afternoon we go for a golf cart ride at 3:30 and
if I am running late she will sit at the door.
When I took her to the vet, he said he has never seen such
a relaxed, friendly Shar Pei. Did find out she was a food thief, but
can understand this. I had made a chiffon cake and had it on a rack
cooling. When I went back to the kitchen she was the funniest sight
you every saw. Looked like a child who just had its first birthday
cake. Fortunately she had just gotten into it so did not get sick.
She is invited into homes and loves all the attention. I am happy to
see that Flower and Lola have been adopted. Thank you for finding us
a truly wonderful girl. Irene Hatch
