Pit Bull Terrier and Shar Pei Dogs Available for Adoption in New Philadelphia, Ohio

Meet Orton 🐾
17-week-old brown & white Pit Bull & Shar Pei mix | Professional Wrinkled Chaos Nugget | Future Household Supervisor

Say hello to Orton, a 17-week-old puppy who is equal parts soft wrinkles, big opinions, and “I meant to do that” energy.

Orton is currently in his early career phase of life, which mostly consists of chewing things, forgetting why he entered a room, and falling asleep in increasingly dramatic positions.

🧠 Fun Facts:
Thinks shoelaces are a public resource
Has never met a sound he didn’t immediately investigate
Believes “no” means “try again but cuter”
Can fall asleep mid-chaos like it’s a superpower
🏡 Ideal Home:

Orton would thrive in a home that enjoys:

Puppy chaos with a strong sense of humor
Training sessions that turn into comedy shows
A dog who is 50% angel, 50% tiny tornado, and 100% lovable
💕 Adoption Bonus:

Adopting Orton means gaining:

A squishy little best friend who will grow into your shadow
A built-in excuse to laugh daily
A lifelong reminder that love sometimes has wrinkles, zoomies, and teeth marks

If your home is ready for puppy antics, endless cuddles, and a very determined little face that believes he is already in charge—Orton is ready to report for duty (and possibly chew the paperwork).

Shar Peis have a unique appearance with a hippopotamus like face and a broad, padded muzzle. Their coat can be either horse coat or brush coat, coming in a variety of colors.
