Empress - Shar Pei Dog for Adoption in Kennesaw, Georgia

JUST A DOLL BABY: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 29 lbs.

Hi there! My name is Empress, and I think my name suits me quite well! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a wonderful home and family to call my own. I've clearly raised puppies in the past, but I'm quite happy to say those days are behind me and it's finally my turn to be pampered! I also bravely battled and won a case of ringworm and have been given the all-clear—hooray! Now I'm soaking up all the love and attention from the wonderful volunteers while I wait for the best news ever: a family of my very own! I hope you'll come meet me soon and see if this sweet Empress is the perfect new addition to your family!

• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I got to spend a few nights in a nice temporary foster home and was good with the other dogs there. I also met dogs at Mostly Mutts and liked them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let's meet! / I chased and barked at the kitty cats in my temp. foster home, so no kitties please. / I liked the teens in my temp. foster home, so if you have kids let's meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.

• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a super sweet, snuggly girl with a silly, sometimes clumsy side that is sure to keep you smiling! I'm happy, friendly, smart, and full of energy, but I also love slowing down for attention, cuddling, and sweet kisses. I was very brave and a good girl for my bath and ear cleaning, and mostly just wanted to be close to my bather and soak up all the attention. I have the cutest facial expressions, complete with lots of adorable little snorting noises that only add to my charm. I'm truly a cutie through and through, with a whole lot of sweetness and personality packed into one lovable girl! / Energy level: 5-7.

• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the 'sit', 'come' and 'place' commands and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I did well in my crate in my temp. foster home as well as at Mostly Mutts. / My potty manners were good in my temp. foster home, and I've only had a few accidents on the shelter schedule.

• LIKES/DISLIKES: I love plush toys, playing, and having fun, and my big wagging tail is usually a good clue that I'm having a great time! I especially enjoy belly rubs and had a blast tossing a toy back and forth across the room during my ringworm treatment period. I'm a sweet, playful girl who is always ready for a little fun! / I'm not a big fan of wet grass, and I can be a little reactive when a truck passes by, so a nice quieter place to walk would be great. And like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.

• MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed.

I'm a wonderful girl looking for a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
