This is a courtesy posting for Baby Dog, who is in Southern California. She is not being adopted through California Shar Pei Rescue.
Puppy, now known as Baby Dog, was left in a cardboard box outside of a Shelter late one Saturday night. She was only 6 weeks old , weighed four pounds, and she had the physical signs of malnutrition. A volunteer (me) took her home and nursed her back to health. She immediately became attached to the other dogs in the home which included a blind very old Chihuahua and a larger pointer mix among others. She learned to respect the cats who lived there too. As time passed Baby Dog developed the creases that identified her as a Sharpei-Terrier mix . Now she enjoys going to the Dog Park for small dogs although she is still a bit timid. She curls up into a warm nook whether it be canine or human, and she goes into deep sleep when tired. We know this because of her loud snoring. She is still very much a puppy. We estimate her to be about 4 months old, and she will do best in a home with another dog. Baby Dog is learning a basic sit and has just started to grasp the concept of housetraining. She is sweet, lively, inquisitive, and enjoys playing with her toys.
If you are interested in adopting Baby Dog, please contact Helen Lederer at 213 712-4284.

PJ

I’m known as PJ here at the rescue. I’m not sure what’s up with that…peanut butter and jelly maybe. I’m just not sure where it came from, but it doesn’t matter to me. As the saying goes, “you can call me anything, just not late for dinner!” Speaking of food, the chow here is really pretty good here. My foster mom cooks for us to help make our dry food taste a little better. I came from a high kill shelter in central CA, and I’m really glad to be here. I’ve been neutered and had my eyes done since arriving. I’m really sort of a little guy, but don’t let that fool you because I am all muscle. I like everyone-two and four legged-and would like the opportunity to prove that to you. I know my photo is not that great, but please don’t blame the photographer. I hate to stand still-I really just want to play with someone. If you would like a buddy who’s a little more on the active side, I might be just who you are looking for. Please come visit me and the rest of my brothers and sisters here in Redding. Just being surrounded by all of us wanting to share our love with you would make the trip worthwhile.

Mitchell

Hello. My name is Mitchell, and at the moment I am still at Dr. Larry’s office and have been since New Year’s Day. I am being taken care of 24/7 because I had emergency surgery and need to recover fully before I can come back to the rescue. My story is a sad one. I am from a shelter in San Francisco where I was going to be killed. Nothing I did wrong-just the way of the world. No body wanted me and I had been there too long. They needed my kennel for someone else. Well, at the last minute they got my kennel space, and I got out alive! You see, every Christmas my foster parents try to take in a hard luck case that otherwise wouldn’t make it. This year it was me. I really am a very sweet little boy, and I love everyone-even the staff at the vet’s office when they are giving me my treatments. I like other dogs too and hopefully, will make one of you very happy real soon. I know my surgeries and stay at the vet hospital will not be inexpensive for this rescue. I am just so thankful to be alive. If you would like to help me out, please become a guardian for me, and if you come to Redding, I would be happy to show you personally my appreciation for caring about what happens to me.

Allie

Hi everyone. My name is Allie, and I came from a high kill shelter in central California. When I got to Redding, my eyes needed immediate attention as well as my ears. I was just kind of a “blob” when I arrived because I really didn’t feel all that great. Since I’ve been here, my ears have been thoroughly cleaned, my eyes have been surgically corrected, and I have been spayed. I am now happy and healthy and very playful. I don’t remember ever feeling this good before! I am only about two years old, but because I did not get the necessary surgery on my eyes when it was first needed, my vision is not perfect. This very slight handicap does not in any way affect my ability to become your perfect companion. I’m so happy here that I wouldn’t mind staying, but my foster parents tell me that is not what they want for me and that somewhere out there is a perfect “forever” home waiting for me. Please don’t misunderstand-I know they love me very much, and that is why they want better for me. If you read this and think that you can provide me with a loving home and are willing to take good care of me for the rest of my life, I am here in Redding waiting for you!

Romeo
|
Hello to all of you. My name is Romeo only because it was decided that “Lover Boy” was too awkward. I’m not sure how many faces would turn around if someone were calling me “Lover Boy” at the dog park and who might get slapped! Either way, I can live up to the name. I really do love everyone I meet, and it doesn’t matter if you have two or four legs or if my leg is broken. My story begins with someone in San Diego witnessing me getting hit by a car and taking me to the shelter. I was there for 10 days, and nothing was done for my hurt leg. Finally, the shelter staff called and the rescue was told that they had to get me out of the shelter the next day or I would be killed. Somehow it didn’t seem fair to the folks at the rescue that I should have to die because I had an irresponsible owner. I know they worked hard to get me to Redding the next day (it’s about a ten hour drive), but they got the job done so that Dr. Larry could take care of my broken leg. He would have had an easier time if he could have put me back together as soon as the fracture happened, but that was not the case. He did say the surgery was a “challenge”, but we are all hopeful that I will regain full use of my leg. So now you know my story, but I am putting all that in the past. What I have now in front of me is a blank page on which to start writing the next chapter of my life. I am hoping to include one of you in the “rest of the story”.

We just adopted a Sharpei from our local SPCA that is approximately 7 years old according to our vet. She is a real sweetheart. Please consider adopting one of the dogs here. This donation is for Shawdow and CoCo (in memorium; our wonderful Sharpei of 13+ years). Sharpeis are great dogs because they love to communicate and pride themselves on being loyal members of the family.

Here is hoping Romeo finds his forever home soon...his story is just like my Pei Indy's story...I adopted Indy from Anna and Richard in 2004 after he had been hit by a car and left with no medical attention as well until he came to the shelter...he is my best buddy and companion even with a lopsided limp and is still going strong! I hope someone special takes care of Romeo soon! Don't give up Romeo...it will be your turn soon!

Anna and one of your volunteers came to the rescue of a Shar-Pei I called about a year ago that was at a shelter in Devore, San Bernardino. You are one of my favorite rescues and I greatly appreciate all the work you do.
