    Top Ten Shar Pei Rescue Mistakes

    When adopting a pet from a rescue or shelter home, there are some common mistakes that naive people make. This especially happens if they are not well read or educated about the process and implications of Shar Pei adoption.

    The “Cute” Factor

    Unfortunately, as with humans, looks aren’t everything. It’s best to go into the shelter with an open mind, and look past the cuteness and into the personality of the dog. When you find your perfect companion, looks will be secondary. If your personalities match, they will be cute regardless of their physical appearance. Sometimes cute puppies are the most mischievous.

    Lack of Financial Preparation

    Many people make the mistake of thinking that Shar Pei adoption is cheap, so the whole process must be as well. Such is not the case. Dogs need vaccines, medicine, food, and other things and over time they get expensive. Save wisely so you don’t get caught up in the end.

    Buying The Pup For Special Occasions

    Birthdays, Christmas, and Valentine’s day are all times when people get dogs as gifts. This is an unwise idea because often times the recipient is wholly unprepared to raise a dog. The owner should pick out their own dog when they are ready in all aspects.

    Aggressive Love

    This speaks for itself, really. Often times people forget to give the new dog some space, and they tend to throw themselves at the puppy. This is an unhealthy relationship, as the dog resists the owner from the beginning.

    So Cute and Little!

    This mistake comes from the desire to take the littlest puppy because they are so cute. Super small cuties often means they are the runt

    of the litter, and they come with a whole plethora of health problems.

    Lying On an Application

    Trying to make your living situation sound better than it is, is a huge mistake. Shelters place their dogs in the best homes possible, and if you’re not truly the right fit, it’s not fair to the dog.

    Not Checking the Background

    You should find out as much about your new puppy as you can before you make a commitment. Otherwise, your situation could be less than ideal for you and your puppy.

    Not Taking Advantage of Health Options

    Many Shar Pei adoption places offer free health evaluations and reduced veterinary care following adoption. It is your responsibility to make sure your dog is healthy, and if it isn’t, it is your responsibility to remedy that.

    Not Considering Your Living Situation

    Do you have other dogs at home? Do your children like to run and play wildly? This isn’t a crime, but you should certainly consider this before adopting a dog, especially if the dog has come from an abusive home or has aggression issues. This can be a bad situation for everyone involved.

    Making Your Decision on a Whim

    Be patient. Don’t consider Shar Pei adoption until you are absolutely ready in all aspects. If you are at the point of adoption, but haven’t found the dog that suits you yet, don’t get one. Having a dog end up in the wrong hands and the wrong situation is a no-win situation on both sides.

    After reading about the ten most common mistakes made with Shar Pei adoption, your next step is to familiarize yourself with the situation so that you know what to expect from a Shar Pei rescue dog. They are often harder to handle than puppies from breeders, but so worth it, as you are giving them an incredible gift of love and care.
