I rescued a sable, brush coat Shar-Pei about 3 weeks ago. It was quite an ordeal too, I've never really gone through so much trouble to rescue a dog. I had to tranquilize her and wait for it to kick in. Just when I thought she was down for the count, she would get up and run when I approached. We finally got her cornered and had to carefully get something around her neck and drag her onto the car cover where we wrapped her up and tossed her into the car. When we were trying to catch her I thought I heard her growl at me, but once we got her in the car she snorted a few times so I was worried for nothing. The local Shar-Pei rescue took her since she was purebred. She turned out to be a very sweet dog, heartworm negative, and generally healthy. She went to her new home last weekend!!
