THE UNLIKELY DUO: 'Boo' the Shar Pei and 'Pickles' the Flat Coated Retriever!These two dogs found each other in the unlikeliest of places-a shelter. They formed an inseparable bond from the moment they met becoming BFF's. Boo is a petite little lady with a big personality in a small package - she is full of quirks and sure to keep you entertained with her silly personality. Boo arrived with a severe skin condition that is being managed with a hydrolyzed protein diet and medicated baths. Her skin has improved immensely! This diet will likely need to be continued for the rest of her life and adopters will need to be able to take on the expense of this special diet.Boo is usually quite confident but in certain situations she can get a little nervous. She knows when to seek out a quiet spot if she needs a break. She would not be suitable with younger children. Boo has some male dog friends at the shelter, but she can be selective with some dogs. For this reason, Boo should be the only dog in the home (unless being re-homed with Pickles).Ideally, Boo and her fellow shelter friend Pickles (please read his story) would be adopted together. Boo has really shown Pickles how to be a dog and that it is okay to trust people. The two of them have become very close and spend their days by each other's side. We recognize this is a big ask due to their different needs, but we think a home together would be what is best for both of them. However, if you can provide a really good home for Boo on her own, we will consider this option too. ***No charge adoption for the right match Do you think you could be Boo's and Pickle's person?

Please understand that we are unable to put animals on HOLD over the phone, you must meet the animal and visit us in person.
To prevent disappointment, please realize that this website is live and updates frequently. Therefore there is a chance that when you arrive at our location the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted already, or another party might be going through the adoption process at that present time.
