Bee

My story

Meet Bee, a 1-year-old Chinese Shar-Pei mix who was rescued as a stray in Miami and brought to Big Dog Ranch to find the loving home she deserves. With her striking features and bold personality, Bee is sure to turn heads—and steal hearts. Bee has a high energy level and needs an active, experienced adopter who understands the unique traits of her breed. Shar-Peis can be strong-willed and independent, and Bee is no exception. She’ll thrive in a home where structure, patience, and ongoing training are part of daily life. She would do best in an adult-only home with someone who has previous experience with both dogs and the Shar-Pei breed. Bee is dog-selective—she can coexist with another dog, but it must be the right match and handled with proper introductions. She’s not good with cats and not suited for a home with children, as she can be extremely mouthy and needs her space respected. Bee is still working on her housetraining and leash manners, but she’s smart and eager to learn, especially with a consistent routine and positive reinforcement. She knows basic commands, and once she trusts you, her affectionate side shines through. She absolutely loves to cuddle, splash in the water, and play with her favorite toys. If you’re a confident, experienced dog owner ready to invest the time and love Bee needs to thrive, she just might be the perfect fit for your home.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bee, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
