Story
Emails are answered in a timely fashion. Please check your spam if you do not receive a response. No unfenced pool Annie was born in approximately 2013. She is an adorable dog who gets along with all other dogs. She prefers to hang out alone and not cuddle. Annie has a left Atrium leaky valve and an enlarged heart, which has been managed well with medication. She will need to remain on this medication for the rest of her life and have regular follow-up visits with a cardiologist to monitor her progress. Annie's journey has been a difficult one. She was rescued from the shelter after being abandoned by her owner, who had moved and left her with friends. They, in turn, passed her along to someone else, who also didn’t want her, and they left her outside. Despite these challenges, Annie's spirit remained unbroken. She was finally picked up by Animal Control and brought to the shelter. Owners were contacted, and Annie was relinquished at the shelter.

Adopting a Pekingese

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Pekingese - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Pekingese at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Pekingese is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Pekingese from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Pekingese would be through a rescue that specializes in Pekingeses. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Pekingese in your area.

Pekingese fun facts

Fun Facts:

According to Chinese lore, the Pekingese is a result of a love affair between a lion and a marmoset monkey (aka "pocket monkeys," usually around 8 inches long).

Dowager Empress Cixi set the breed standard for the Pekingese in the late 19th century, which included the need for a variety of coat colors, a dignified ruff, and hairy feet to ensure a silent gait.

The Irish Doctor Heuston changed the public health landscape of China by introducing smallpox vaccination clinics throughout the country. As a token of gratitude, the Chinese minister gifted him a pair of Pekingese.
