Charm - Shar Pei Dog for Adoption in Lake Forest, California

How does a Shar Pei rescue celebrate Halloween? Forget the costumes, pumpkin photos and all the cute stuff. We head straight to the local shelter and rescue a Shar Pei who needs us. Because apparently we don't know how to have a normal Halloween.

Meet Charm!

Charm lived with her family, which included five human kids and a Pittie sibling. Like so many families right now, hers fell on hard times, and they made the difficult decision to surrender their pups to the shelter in Phoenix, AZ.

Her family had wonderful things to say about this girl. She was great with their kids and got along with both big and little dogs. Unfortunately, the shelter doesn't always get to see the wonderful family dog hiding behind the kennel door.

But the Shar Pei rescue brigade was on the case!

With a few tasty treats, Charm decided we weren't so bad after all. She came right up, hopped aboard and was off to her foster home. Just like that, her Halloween took a much better turn. ❤ï ̧

Charm will need a little medical TLC before adoption, including her spay, entropion surgery and bloodwork.

She's now safe and settling into her foster home in Phoenix, AZ. Stay tuned as we get to know this sweet girl!

Happy Halloween from Pei People. Some people hand out candy. We apparently collect Shar Peis.

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.
