About Aggie

Aggie is a 6-year-old Shar Pei in Plano, TX, with a gentle spirit tucked behind her signature wrinkles. She’s naturally timid, especially around new people, but with patience and quiet time, Aggie slowly opens up—offering soft kisses and accepting gentle pets. She has a habit of silently trailing loved ones from room to room, always close but never demanding attention. Aggie would do well with a confident dog in the home who can show her that people are safe and routines are predictable. She’s just starting to warm up to toys, so it’s likely her playful side will come out with more time and encouragement. She’s got some of those typical Shar Pei skin sensitivities, so her adopter needs to be comfortable helping manage her coat to keep her feeling her best.
