Are you interested in joining the Mid-Atlantic Chinese Shar-Pei Rescue Operation? As a member of the Mid-Atlantic Chinese Shar-Pei Rescue Operation, you will receive our quarterly newsletter and support from our staff for any problem or question you may have about your Chinese Shar-Pei. A nominal membership fee is due. A $300 DONATION IS REQUIRED IF AN ADOPTION IS COMPLETED. Our adoption fee includes, Heartworm, Lyme’s, Erhlichea, all shots, chipping, spay/neuter, Entropian surgery if needed, any other medical care as needed and a six month supply of heartworm meds. This is a bargain. Our average costs per dog is $875.00! An average spay for a female dog is $250.00 and the yearly shots can easily cost $150-$300 depending on which vet you use. So you a getting a great bargain, plus adopting a great dog.

Placing our Shar-Pei in new homes is a responsibility we take very seriously. We reserve the right to refuse the adoption of an animal to a home that does not meet the standards of the Mid-Atlantic Chinese Shar-Pei Rescue Operation. This includes the right to investigate new homes before and after an adoption is made, and remove the animal if it is not receiving proper care or has been mistreated. We request that you take into consideration the cost of food and health care as well as the time you have available to spend with your new companion. Consider the needs of the animal as well as your own. If you cannot provide a lifetime home for a pet, do not adopt it.

Initial your approval here

I certify the above to be true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
