About

NASPR (North American Shar-Pei Rescue) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit rescue dedicated to those "last chance" purebred Shar-Pei in need. Our members are all volunteers that work diligently to rehabilitate and care for each rescue with love and commitment. Our Shar-Pei are respected as the individual personalities that they are and we invest the time to work with our adoptive families to introduce them to the Shar-Pei that will be the best addition to their family. NASPR cannot save all those in need, but for those that we can, we make a lifetime commitment to not only the dog but the adoptive families so that our Shar Pei will never find themselves alone, scared and uncared for again.

Adoption process

People interested in adopting a Chinese Shar-Pei through NASPR must fill out an application and submit it for approval. The application process helps us to match the correct dog with the correct person. We have also found that people that are willing to fill out the application are serious about providing a quality home for one of our Rescue Pei. With a few exceptions, we will only adopt a Pei into an indoor home. We believe that Chinese Shar-Pei are a very family orientated breed and putting one outside is an invitation for disaster. Even so, we do ask that adoptive homes have a fence as fences provide a safe environment for your pet. We do make exceptions to the fence rule but only to homes who can prove a successful history with leash walking. NASPR will not adopt a Pei into a home where the other animals are not spayed or neutered. Spaying and Neutering your animals is one of the most important things that you can do to help with the pet overpopulation problem. We do, however, recognize the fact that some animals cannot be altered because of age or medical problems. Also, we respect responsible breeders who have intact animals. We are willing to consider adoptions into these types of situations. NASPR reserves the right to conduct a home visit on all potential adopters. We will also check vet references to make sure that all current pets are being kept up-to-date on vaccinations. Once your application is approved and your new best friend located, you will be asked to sign a contract. Basically, the contract states that you agree to provide all necessary medical care for your adopted friend and that you agree to house the dog in the manner which was agreed upon with Rescue. The contract also says that if, at any point, you are unable to keep your adopted Pei, it MUST be returned to Rescue. This means that the dog cannot be sold, given away, turned into animal control, given to a friend/relative or otherwise disposed of. This contract is enforce for the lifetime of the dog.
