Welcome to Shar-Pei-Rescue & Welfare UK
@@@@@@@@@@ OK PEOPLE...PLEASE Help Us To Raise Some Money This New Year!!! "SHAVE OFF" All proceeds to SHAR PEI RESCUE & WELFARE UK
APRIL - THE GREAT SPRING NATIONWIDE WALK - Sunday 15th April 10k at 10am
ROMA WILL BE ATTENDING!! PUB QUIZ NIGHT - SATURDAY 12TH MAY 2012 ***** We have decided to scrap the registration fee but increase our adoption fee to £125.00. The average dog that comes to us costs the rescue in excess of £200 for transportation, vets fees etc and we are still well below the average breed rescues fees. Sorry, but if we do not raise our fees, there won't be a rescue...times are indeed hard
+++++ 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? Solveig
Alfie
Max
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.
In These Hard Times We really NEED Adopters!! Don't just read about them..home them!! Broaden your criteria, recognise an older dog is less trouble, consider two as companions instead of one! Don't just think about it...DO IT...or dogs die!!! PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR DETAILS ON ADOPTION ON MY MOBILE. This is kept for emergencies only. Thank you We just can not afford to return calls to a mobile number. Please leave a land line number or try again. Thank you PLEASE READ I have received some very disturbing comments from several people who have contacted another rescue about the behaviour of their dogs. The person who runs the rescue has advised that they grab hold of the skin around the dogs face and physically lift them off the ground. He also advises pinning the animal to the floor using your body weight. These practices are painful and very stupid and could result in a very nasty dog bite. If I ever hear of anyone doing this to a Shar Pei Rescue and Welfare UK dog, I will personally see that the dog is removed from the home and re-housed. This treatment is cruel and dangerous. DON'T DO IT ! ============== We are desperate for Scottish volunteers. Drivers, foster parents, fund raisers, behaviour and training problems, vets, kennels and shelters. We Need people in the following areas: Inverness up, Perth - Inverness, Edinburgh and the borders , Highlands and Central region. We need drivers who regularly drive across the borders into both countries who can help us transport dogs....Please, can you help? Do you have a roadworthy van that you could donate to the rescue? Must have long MOT and tax...can you help us? admin@shar-pei-rescue.co.uk

The Pet Corrector
For many of you who have contacted me about their dogs fighting, you will know that I send out a piece called ‘fighting dogs' which recommends the use of a CO2 fire extinguisher as a training aid. It stops fighting immediately and ultimately becomes a deterrent to aggression starting again. So often I have thought that what we really need is a pocket size extinguisher for out walking etc…and then I discovered ‘THE PET CORRECTOR'. This amazing, easy to use and reliable aid to training your dog, can now be purchased directly from Shar Pei Rescue and Welfare UK. 50ml £6.75 plus £1.99 p&p or the larger 200ml £10.99 p&p £2.99. (at present we only have the larger size) Please send postal order or cheque made out to: SPRW UK to Five Levels Cottage, Burrow wall, Burrowbridge, Somerset, TA70JQ
PLEASE remember, we can not 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 £800.00. 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.

Solveig is a beautiful two and a half year old bitch who was initially homed by another rescue who are either unwilling or unable to re-home her. Her owner is highly allergic to her so she needs a home fast! At present she is not neutered but we will organise for this to be done as soon as she is settled. She is fine with children but not brilliant with other dogs and can pull on the lead when she encounters them. She loves people, cuddles and food. She is in Hampshire. 
Alfie is nervous and has been known to give a visitor the odd nip on the backside if not introduced properly, he also needs muzzling at the vets and can grumble. He enjoys play and cuddles and being made a fuss of. He is fine with animals outside of the home, but need proper lead training when out on walks. Children over 9 would probably be better because of Alfie's nervousness. He is fully fit, neutered and microchipped. Since Charlie left he is receiving more training so please do not be put off! 
Is a lovely boy who was re-homed in Scotland but sadly his new mum and dad decided they couldn't cope with him. Max wasn't very well mannered around other dogs and pulled on the lead like a stream train. He has now been in his foster home for a couple of months and we can happily announce that there has been a massive improvement and we think he's ready for us to find him his forever home. He is castrated, fit , healthy and brilliant with young children. We would prefer him to be homed as a single dog or with a non dominant female and preferably in Scotland. 
This is a really special gift for anybody .
