The goal of Shar-Pei Rescue of VA is to help rehabilitate and re-home shelter Shar-Pei, Shar-Pei in situations of cruelty and neglect or simply families that can no longer care for their Chinese Shar-Pei.  We are an IRS 501©3 approved organization. Our group is comprised of volunteers that are dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for Shar-Pei in need.

Teddy Bear

Hi, I'm Teddy Bear, and I got my awesome name because I am plush and soft just like a teddy bear!   My foster mom says that I am "velvety" soft!  I am a big, sweet loveable guy who enjoys hugs and rubs.   I am very mellow and my foster mom says that I am an easy dog to have in the house.   I am experiencing lots of new things at my foster home...like a bed - I was not quite sure what to do with a bed at first, but now I have it figured out - comfy!  Playing with toys was new to me too, but these are great fun; and as you can see from my photos, I love playing with toys!  I like the other dogs here and am having a good time hanging out and playing with them.  I am being introduced to cats slowly; and so far, I think I am being pretty good.  I enjoy being outside and can often be found passed out in the grass or on the patio.

Update 6/30/2010:   A second tumor was found on Teddy Bear‘s back.  For more information about Teddy‘s condition, please see his profile.
