About Wrinkles

Wrinkles is an adorable Shar Pei mix who first arrived as a stray at a rural shelter. At about 6 or 7 months old and weighing in at 34 lbs, she came in extremely timid, but quickly became the shelter's star. Wrinkles formed strong bonds with staff and volunteers, sticking to their sides so closely a leash was hardly needed. Her friendly, playful nature and constant tail wag made her a favorite, and staff pleaded for her to get more chances. Now in boarding, Wrinkles shows the same devoted spirit with every new face. She gets along well with other dogs and children, and her cheerful, eager energy makes her easy to love. Wrinkles is waiting for a foster or forever home where she can settle in and shine.
