About Reese’s

Reese’s is a two-year-old Shar-Pei who brings all the unique wrinkles and charisma the breed is known for. Rescued on Thanksgiving with her daughter Peaches, Reese’s has steadily blossomed with time and care. Once she feels secure, her affectionate and social side comes forward—she becomes playful with dogs after slow introductions and enjoys energetic bursts, followed by peaceful downtime. Reese’s needs a home with someone familiar with Shar-Pei tendencies. Structure and ongoing socialization are key for her to thrive. She prefers a chicken-free home and may be able to coexist with the right dog-savvy cat, as she’s shown curiosity but can be redirected easily on walks. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and house trained. Her eyes, previously treated for entropion, have healed well, and her skin has improved. Reese’s is waiting in Sacramento, CA, ready for either adoption or fostering, and she’d love to find someone who appreciates her breed’s quirks. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
