Mai

Here is the dog that started it all! 

Mai Ping was lost while boarding with a vet in 1986. While searching for her, we discovered that there were many Shar-Pei in shelters. Being such a new breed in the U.S., they were not recognized and were being "put down" as Pit Bulls. After speaking with other club members about this, Shar-Pei rescue got started. Well, we found Mai after 12 weeks and she lived a happy, pampered life with us for 16 years and we thank Dawn Walling for giving her to us. 

Every day I work with rescue, I do it in her memory.
