About Reset

Meet Reset, a sweet Shar-Pei who recently joined the rescue. He was found as a stray and is adjusting to his new surroundings. Reset has had some challenges due to severe skin allergies, but it hasn’t dulled his kind spirit. He is a quiet and reserved boy who seems to cherish human companionship. Reset does well with other dogs; he’s curious at first but then prefers to hang out peacefully. While we haven’t tested him with cats, he showed high interest in chickens without any aggressive behavior—just pure curiosity. As a Shar-Pei, he has a natural protective instinct and is deeply bonded with his family, which means he may take some time to warm up to new people. Fortunately, he seems to be socialized well and is comfortable around strangers. Currently, Reset is crate trained and housebroken. He will be neutered after addressing his skin issues and is up to date on vaccinations. This gentle soul is ready to find a caring home that understands the sensitivities of his breed. If you have experience with Shar-Peis, consider fostering Reset while he completes his treatment. After his neuter, he will be available for adoption. Your new best friend is just one click away.
