Dakota, two of her littermates and their mother were dropped off at a Dallas area shelter because the owner no longer wanted them.  The mother, Daisy, is a full breed Shar-Pei, but the puppies are definitely Shar-Pei mix.  Daisy was still nursing her 6-week old puppies when a volunteer with NASPR picked them up at the shelter less than 12 hours of hearing that they were there.  All of them were taken to the vet the following day and the puppies appeared to be in good health.  Daisy took great care of them considering she had advanced heartworms.  Thanks to the large network of Shar-Pei Rescue volunteers and breeders, Dakota found her forever home in British Columbia, Canada.  The real success was transporting her to her new home.  Dakota was driven to Houston for the Shar-Pei Nationals where she was then transported for the long haul to Seattle by charitable breeders.  Once she arrived in Seattle she was transported to Sumas where she would meet another volunteer with TNT Rescue.  Dakota was soon on her way to Kamloops where her new family would greet her and take her to her forever home.  Dakota’s littermates have found their forever homes too, and Daisy is well on her way to recovery.  We could not have done this without all the hard work of the volunteers and breeders dedicated to our wonderful breed.  Special thanks to Elli K. for the home visit!
