Shar Pei and Chow Chow Dogs Available for Adoption

(DOB 10/31/2025) Due to Jia's young age, she has not been spayed yet. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within a 1-hour drive time of Wake Forest NC).

Jia is a sweet and sassy little firecracker with a personality that shines as brightly as her energy level. This girl is always on the move — curious, playful, and ready to make every moment an adventure. Playing isn't just something Jia enjoys... it's her job, and she takes it very seriously!

She loves romping around with other dogs and thrives on the fun and excitement of having playmates. Whether she's chasing toys or exploring her surroundings, Jia brings enthusiasm to everything she does. She's also highly food motivated, which will make training both rewarding and fun as she continues learning the ropes of being a good girl.

Jia NEEDS another playful dog in the home to help her burn energy and continue building her social skills. With her affectionate nature and lively spirit, she'll do best in an active home ready to keep up with her zest for life and provide plenty of enrichment and playtime.

If you're looking for a pup with spunk, sweetness, and endless personality, Jia might just be your perfect match.

As part of Jia's $325 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered. If you have questions about this sweet girl, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Jia, you can complete an application online for her under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.

The Chow Chow, a distinctive breed known for its lion like mane and unique blue black tongue, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. These aloof yet loyal dogs are known for their independent nature, dignified demeanor, and protective instincts. Chow Chows require early socialization and training to thrive in a family setting, as they can be stubborn and territorial. With a dense double coat that requires regular grooming and a history as ancient guardians and hunting companions, the Chow Chow remains a fascinating and enigmatic breed in the canine world.

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.
