Welcome to Shar-Pei-Rescue & Welfare UK
We Move home on the 13th July!! We are packing up and moving house which means there will be an interruption in our normal service until we can get phone lines back on and the computer up and running. You can still email for adoption paperwork, health questions etc but rather than let you down we will be suspending other services for a few weeks. PLEASE bear with us.moving is very stressful and we will be back up and running as soon as possible! The New Address is on the website on our contact us page
********************************* COULD ALL PREVIOUS ADOPTERS PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE KEPT US UP TO DATE WITH CHANGES OF ADDRESS, HOME PHONE NUMBERS AND MOBILE NUMBERS THANK YOU ====================== HELP NEEDED... ================================== We are DESPERATE for foster homes for dogs coming out of shelters. These dogs behave completely differently than they would in other circumstances and with the social climate being what it is, these abandoned dogs often get put to sleep.. With these dogs we have very little knowledge of their history, their ages or even their names, so the foster parent is our first inclination as to the dog's temperament. It is a labour of love and we will support you in any way we can. Are you one of those very special people ? Please contact us if you can help... 01323 72 64 62 =========================== Over the last few months we have had a few people who have decided to take dogs from us and then be aggressive when we ask for a donation. We run at a loss every year and rely on donations coming in to keep our heads above water, but people still decide to argue rather than pay up. In the next few weeks we will be either adding a new page, or publishing an article, naming and shaming all of these people who would rather argue aggressively than pay a donation for their dog. They seem to forget that if it wasn't for the hard work that goes into re-homing the dogs, they wouldn't have it in the first place. Watch this space.. Cassy
Cassy has come to us from a loving home where her owners loved her enough to let her go. Tragically half of her litter mates were born dead and she was born with a break in her right front leg, which despite treatment has left her with a deformed leg and paw. She is only 8 weeks old and my vet believes that hopefully we can save the leg. Despite being very generous in his prices for rescue dogs, she will have to see a specialist and her treatment could run into thousands. The sooner she starts treatment the better her chances...PLEASE, help us to provide the operations she needs. She has her whole life ahead of her and we need YOUR help to give her the best quality of life that we can.

As with everyone the 'credit crunch' hits hard, but those of you who have signed up to a small regular donation to Shar Pei Rescue and Welfare UK, have meant the world to those dogs we have been able to save. It doesn't matter if it is 3 pounds a week/month.. that continuous little dribble of cash is the difference between life and death for some dogs and we beg you, if you haven't already done so, PLEASE set up a regular monthly donation to help us continue our work. It is a sad fact that many who have to give up their dogs promise that they will do this, however the minute we home the dog, we never hear from them again!! Please, if you would like to set up a regular donation contact Roma 01323726462 or go to the 'Contact Us' page and send us an email. Your donation CAN mean the difference of life or death for these dogs. THANK YOU.

================== PLEASE do not attempt to re-home any of these dogs unless your commitment is for the life of the dog. Please, please be sure when you apply to rescue a dog you are either in a stable relationship or you have discussed what would happen to the animal should you break up. It really isn't fair to abandon an animal because your own life is experiencing difficulties. Having a baby is not an excuse to to give up a dog. A dog is your companion and friend and when you adopt it is for life. You wouldn't adopt a child and then want to give it back, would you? SUMO Sumo's plight is urgent!
This is Buddy...
PLEASE remember that we do NOT put all the dogs on our books on the website. So often things have gone wrong because the buyer of a dog, liked the look of the dog rather than evaluating it's temperament in relation to their own situation. We try to match the dog to the family, so please, if there is not a dog displayed here it does not mean that we do not have the right shar pei for you. ====================== PLEASE remember, we cannot return calls to mobiles ! ======================================= Most rescue dogs have problems of some sort... Is YOUR heart big and patient enough to take one of these dogs on ? =============================================== THINK BEFORE YOU BUY... In recent months more and more dogs are coming in to us with varying hereditary problems. ALL of these dogs come with Kennel club registrations and none would be accepted back by the breeder. The average price paid for these dogs was £1000.00. It is important that the buyer realise that having a kennel club registration is no guarantee of the health or temperament of a dog. The Kennel Club is a business. It is NOT a welfare organisation. Breeders are NOT checked. NO BODY visits to see what conditions the dogs are kept in. ANYBODY can register a litter with the Kennel Club if they are prepared to pay to do so. The Kennel Club have no powers to prevent irresponsible breeding. Registration only means that you can show your dog in the show ring; it is NOT a guarantee as to the well being of a pup. The recent case in the media of over 200 starving, dehydrated Yorkshire Terriers kept in a windowless shed in the most appalling conditions, only found when the 'breeder' died, is testament to this, as was a similar situation with a Labrador breeder last year. Both Breeders were KC registered! If you want to buy a puppy, there are certain things you should ask and see before you even consider parting with your cash. Ask to see BOTH parents. If a dog was brought in for stud ask for the name of the stud dog and make contact with the owner. If the dog shows aggression to you, do NOT buy the pup.
By following these simple steps, you will help to reduce the number of dogs that are given up to rescues
A good breeder will vet you thoroughly; you have the right to do the same. ================================================== We are hearing more and more often of dogs being stolen. It is a cruel and heartbreaking trend. To help protect your dog, get it microchipped and Neutered. A neutered animal CAN NOT be stolen for puppy farming and helps protect your pet. If you ALWAYS have a collar on your dogs with a tag stating that they are neutered, they are less likely to be stolen. ============================ Please do not ask us to return calls to a mobile. We rely solely on donation and can not afford huge telephone bills. THANK YOU
Please register for adoption or fostering. You will find the forms to download on our 'please help page'. Please Do it today ======================================= Our Organisation asks for a ten pound registration fee before people go on the list to adopt a dog. WHY ? Well, a lot of our dogs come to us with various health problems and many need operations. It would be unfair of us to knowingly allow someone to adopt a dog, aware that it should undergo surgery. The registration fee means there is always some money available. The other monies we rely upon is Donation, but sadly we have discovered that some people, once receiving a rescue dog from us, just don't want to cough up! It is very strange that these same people, when asked why a donation isn't forthcoming, nearly always become abusive and nasty??? They don't care that without the donations, we would eventually be unable to rescue any more dogs. It's a case of 'I've got my dog, who cares about the rest?' WELL WE DO ! Please, when you apply to adopt you must not only take into consideration the yearly jabs, dog food, insurance etc; but also that you WILL be expected to give a reasonable donation. Most other 'rescue' organisations CHARGE you for an animal. We Don't..So don't let us down...Please.
Please contact Roma if you can help. See our "Please Help" section for details and forms. ========================================= How can you help?Well there are several ways. You can help by letting us know when a dog is in need. You can help us transport animals. You can help us raise funds. You can help us by giving your time and expertise about the breed. There are so many ways you can help and we too can help you. We will find good loving homes, We will take responsibility for veterinary care for fostered dogs, (where funds are available) We will make the phone calls, co-ordinate the rescue, find understanding foster homes for behavioural problems so they can be re-trained and we will make sure these wonderful sensitive dogs get homed with people who will love them for the rest of their lives. We have no committees. No axes to grind. No politics. We just CARE. Please feel free to contact us with any enquiries. We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in helping us.

Sumo is a beautiful chocolate male shar pei who is sadly the victim of a marriage breakdown. He is 5 years old and has been living with a female Boxer, but is not good with other dogs outside the home. He has been living with children of 8 upwards and although he happily lives with an autistic boy he really isn't fond of young children. He does growl around strangers and children who don't respect his bed and sleeping habits. He is fit and healthy, castrated, chipped and up to date with his jabs. He's an excellent guard dog but very, very affectionate around those he loves and will sneak up beside you on the couch for a cuddle. He can become stressed in built up areas and is used to the country and open fields. His recall was very good with the ladies husband but since he left, his mummy is having problems with him thinking that HE is now the man of the house!! Very typical shar pei. His mummy will miss him terribly but realises that he is just not getting the attention and time he deserves. Sumo will make somebody the most wonderful pet. 
Buddy is a beautiful 6 yr old, neutered female in the London area. She is living at present with a 5 month old baby and is fine around younger children. She loves her walks but has a fear of busy Traffic and will cower. She can be left a full working day and is quite dominant around other dogs that she does not know, however she plays nicely with dogs she does know. She would need careful introduction to existing dogs within the home, but once settled should not be a problem. She is nervous of strangers but once introduced loves a fuss and a stroke.
