"Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!"

Mei Mei
|
Mei Mei was adopted by the Durst family in the San Francisco area.
My name is Mei Mei, and I have a sad story (who here at the rescue doesn’t?) My original owner gave me to his brother when he had to move. I did ok for a while, but then I had a disagreement with his German Shepherd. That cost me my home, and I ended up one of the Los Angeles County shelters in Lancaster. Take it from me, that is not where you want to find yourself! I was thrown in with multiple dogs and again ended up getting beat up. My time was drawing to an end at the shelter, when the folks in Redding agreed to take me. My original owner drove me to Redding to drop me off. I have had my eyes done, and I am ready for a new home. I need to know someone before I trust them, and maybe you can understand that after reading my story. I think I would prefer to be an only dog as well. I guess I do have some “baggage”, but I’ll bet if you’re honest, you do too. Maybe we could help each other…

Miyagi
|
Mr. Miyagi has been given the best Christmas gift ever! He has found his forever home in Vancouver, WA, with Ralph and his new Pei sister, Abby.
Hello everyone, my name is Mr. Miyagi. I was adopted from CA Shar Pei Rescue about 3 ½ years ago, and due to changes in my family’s living situation, they are now no longer able to keep me so I am travelling the highways and byways of life-in style I might add- looking for a new place to hang my hat! I am not as young as I once was, but I guess that applies to all of us. I am still quite handsome and get along with other dogs. I do need some supervision since sometimes I like to act like a “bonehead” and get in other dogs faces, and they don’t always know that I mean them no harm. I like all sizes of humans right down to those little crawly ones. You see, I helped raise a baby in my previous home. Right now I am staying with a nice man named Chris and his Pei, Java, but this is only a temporary living arrangement. Chris agreed to help me because space is so limited at the rescue in Redding, but I don’t want to wear out my welcome. I’m not a bad boy, and it’s not my fault that things didn’t work out at my previous home, but the fact remains I really need a permanent home. Won’t you please help me to come “home for the holidays” and all days thereafter. I promise to be good…

God Bless Rich and Anna and the countless others involved in their rescue of these angels on earth. I adopted my Lynzie from them over four years ago. She recently survived emergency surgery for bloat. I'm so thankful to still have her. Miyagi reminds me of a morph of my Lynzie and my Beau, whose passing led to my adoption of Lynzie. Thank you for helping these dogs.

Sparky

Spanky is going home to Michigan to live with the Morford family.
Update: Spanky arrived safely and on schedule at DTW. He still had a treat in one bowl and some water with Shar Pei slobber in the second bowl. His tail was wagging before we could cut the cable ties on the crate. The Continental personnel were great; they did not care if we took him out of the crate in the building.
We went outside to a snow covered grassy lawn. He seemed a little tentative about an icy sidewalk but likes snow. In fact, he was eating it after we got to Whitehall…opposite side of the state from DTW. He had a good walk near the freight facility and relived himself. He didn’t have an accident in his crate.
He stepped into the car himself and we headed home. He will meet other dog on Tuesday at Dog Star Ranch. Tomorrow morning I will take him for run at DSR; he will spend the afternoon in his crate. Tuesday will be his first day at Day Care.
Thank you for a HANDSOME boy. He is a WONDERFUL dog. I certainly do not understand why he would be in a rescue situation. We have changed his name to “Bear”…just look at the face!
We will send a picture and update latter in the week.
Thank you very much for the EXCELLENT care our boy has received.

Hello - My name is Spanky, and I was found running in a ravine with my brother, Desi. We ended up in a shelter in Santa Clara County and eventually here in Redding. As you can tell, we are quite handsome, although I think I am the better looking between the two of us. I am a fawn brushcoat. I get along with other dogs and I like people. We both have yet to be neutered since Dr. Larry is on vacation for two weeks. In a way that’s kind of good for us, but I guess it’s just prolonging the inevitable, and it’s just too much time to think about it! Anyway, because of his vacation we are not yet ready to go, but our surgery is scheduled for next week, and we will be able to go soon after that. We do not have to go as a pair so if you want one or the other of us that would be great since we both will be in need of homes. Tell me, how can you not love this face?

Courtney has been adopted by the Goupillon family and will be living in WA with her Pei brother, Indy, also adopted from us about five years ago.
Hi everyone. My name is Courtney and I am from a shelter in the Los Angeles area. I am still in LA but will be heading to Redding in the next couple of days. My foster mom here says that I am small but mighty and non-stop fun. Not much phases me-I am a happy-go-lucky pint size Pei. I would like an active home where I can go for walks, hikes, bungee jumping and skydiving. Well, ok, we can forget the last two, but that’s the kind of personality I have. I love people, I love attention, and I love the spotlight on me. I would be willing to share the spotlight with the right person-could it be you? I’m already spayed and ready to go home-please consider me when you are filling out that application. |

Ross

Ross has been adopted by the Mitchell family in Walnut Creek, CA.
Hello. My name is Ross. I was found running loose in the Grand Canyon National Park. Someone did find me and gave me a so called home, but it wasn’t living with him. He had some property about thirty miles from his “real” home, and that is where he left me. He did come to feed me a few times a week, but that was about all he did. I was on my own to deal with whatever wild critters might come on to my territory, and I have a few scars to prove it! With all that behind me, I am a very loving brushcoat boy and I get along with other dogs. This time I need a home where I can actually live with my new family. I know I’m worth it! If you have any questions about me, feel free to contact my foster parents at the rescue.
