Additional information
M is looking for a new home where she will be the only pet in the home – where she can have all the love to herself!
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
M can live with children over the age of 8 years in her new home. She was good with the children in her last home, but can be a bit shy around new people.
What type of environment would suit me?
M would like her own, secure, private garden that she can potter around in. She’s unlikely to be able to go off lead away from home, so a garden is ideal for her own space. M’s owners said that she loves agility and paddling pools which would be great fun for her to have!

Things to note
Breeds like this Shar-Pei’s have extreme conformation, meaning that their body features are exaggerated. This can include having shorter legs or a flat face and shorter nose (brachycephalic).
Why these features can be a problem?
These characteristics can negatively affect their health and welfare. For example, dogs with shorter legs may be more likely to experience serious back issues and animals with flattened faces may find it difficult to breathe and struggle in the heat. Whilst not every dog will suffer these problems, it’s important to stop and think before adopting or buying one.
Due to these health issues regularly affecting certain breeds, you may face higher insurance and veterinary costs even if your pet is unaffected.
What to do before getting one
If you’re thinking about welcoming this type of dog to your family, we recommend you do your homework to ensure you’re prepared.
If you are rehoming from a charity like Woodgreen, our veterinary team always give all pets a health check and you will be told about any health problems we identify. Our expert team will be happy to talk to you if you have any questions about the care M might need.
