Shar Pei Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Piglet

At around 4 years old, this spayed female Shar Pei has fully embraced her role as royalty—and she expects you to do the same. Piglet is the unquestioned queen of her foster home and has her foster dad completely wrapped around her paw. On chilly Colorado nights, she doesn’t bark or beg... she simply gives him the look, and up he goes to switch on her heated blanket. As it should be.

Piglet’s journey hasn’t always been so glamorous. She came to us nearly hairless due to severe neglect. Over the past three months, with proper care and lots of love, her coat has slowly started to grow back in—but she still has a long road ahead of her. Piglet will need a home with shar pei experience, committed to continuing her medical care and giving her the extra attention she deserves. She may be a bit high maintenance, but don’t worry—she promises she’s absolutely worth it.

And oh, is she ever. Piglet gives the very best “gnome kisses” (you’ll know when you get one!) and her whole body wiggles with joy when she’s happy—which is often. Beneath her royal expectations is a deeply affectionate, resilient girl who just wants to be cherished and comfortable.

If you’re ready to serve a tiny, wrinkly queen with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Piglet is ready to rule your home.

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.
