"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too."
- Samuel Butler (1835-1902) English author
My name is Sonja, and I came from the San Diego Humane Society in Southern CA. Funny they call themselves a humane society because they were ready to kill me just for being a Sharpei. Shame on them-maybe they should change their name, but I won’t mention what I think it should be. Anyway, I was standoffish, but isn’t that what being a Sharpei is all about? I was never mean and I am a really good girl in all other ways. I am what they call an “old” style Sharpei. I’m told that means that I don’t have the meaty head that some of my other relatives do. That is not to say that I am any less of a Sharpei - maybe more so. You see, I look more like the original Sharpei that came from China. I say that’s a good thing! Right now I am being fostered in the Los Angeles area, but soon to be headed to Redding to meet my new foster parents. I’m told Redding is very pretty this time of year, but I would really like to find a home of my own-a home where someone will love me for who and what I am. Thanks for looking.

I am a 11 year old girl who is a dog sitter and had a Shar-Pei that passed away last summer at the age of 13. She was a rescue form SPCA in San Francisco. She looked just like this! She was the sweetest dog that ever lived. Also when you where eating dinner she would come over and put her muzzle on your lap.
