Shar Pei and Basset Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in New Philadelphia, Ohio

Are you ready to add 37% wrinkles, 42% ears, and 100% personality to your life? Meet Walrus—a low-riding, high-rolling gentleman who looks like he was assembled from leftover parts but somehow turned out perfect.

Walrus is a certified cuddle technician with a face that permanently says, “I have seen things… mostly snacks.” His signature look includes luxurious forehead folds, soulful eyes, and ears long enough to pick up radio signals from neighboring states. Scientists are still unsure where his body ends and his wrinkles begin.

Walrus is looking for a loving home that appreciates fine wrinkles, low-to-the-ground zoomies, and a dog who may or may not try to sit directly on your face. Bonus points if you enjoy slow walks, big laughs, and explaining to strangers, “Yes, that’s really what he looks like.”

Adopting Walrus may result in excessive smiling, chronic treat purchasing, and an uncontrollable urge to squish his face (gently, of course).

Apply today—Walrus has been practicing his “who, me?” face and it’s devastatingly effective.

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The Shar Pei is a distinctive breed known for their deep wrinkles and blue black tongue. Originally from China, these medium sized dogs are loyal, independent, and protective of their families. 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. While they can be aloof with strangers, Shar Peis are devoted companions with a calm demeanor, making them wonderful family pets.
