Shar Pei Dogs Available for Adoption

Carolina is a resilient, loving girl with a story of strength and survival. She was found on the streets while pregnant and brought in by animal control, where she quickly gave birth to a large litter. Terrified and overwhelmed, Carolina and her newborn puppies were placed on the euthanasia list—but they were rescued just in time.

In foster care, Carolina proved to be an incredible mama, raising her puppies until they were weaned and ready for homes of their own. Many of her babies have been adopted… now it’s finally her turn.

Carolina does have scars on her face and what appears to be an old burn mark on her side—reminders of a past we may never fully know. Despite that, she is unbelievably sweet, gentle, and trusting.

She’s dog-friendly, house-trained, and very well-behaved. She doesn’t chew, loves long walks, and will happily greet you with her adorable “happy dance” when it’s time to go outside. One of her favorite things? Giving hugs—when she’s excited, she’ll gently jump up just to be close to you.

Carolina has so much love to give and is ready for a forever home where she’ll be safe and cherished.

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.
