About Us
Harvey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Harvey
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Chinese Shar Pei
Home: Escondido, California, USA
 
   We adopted Harvey from the California Shar Pei Rescue. As with most rescued Shar Pei, his life before being saved was sad - full of turmoil and neglect. No more! He hit the canine lottery and we intend to love and spoil him every remaining day of his life.

    We've had many Shar Pei in our family over the last 30 years, but Harvey is the most unique in every way. He has wrinkles on his wrinkles! When he lays down it looks like he melted, and when he wants to look at something he has to raise his head slightly because his wrinkles get in the way. His coat is bristly like velvet and the color is blue and brindle with white flowers. Harvey's a prankster and a clown and is our constant source of laughs. He enjoys playing fetch with fuzzy, squeaky toys. His muzzle is so large that when he picks up a huge stuffed toy in his mouth, it becomes an enormous smile. Don't be fooled by the relaxed look on his face! He has boundless energy and can leap over four feet and loves to run and prance.

    Harvey has never met a human that he doesn't adore, especially children. He likes to nuzzle his big, mushy face in your hands or lap. We enjoy all the unusual vocals that he uses to express himself. He sounds as if he trying to find the right syllables, but is not quite there yet. We adore his beautiful and humorous spirit and couldn't imagine our lives without him.
