Here he is playing with his foster friend. Just click on the

My name is Stanley. I am extremely sweet and cooperative. I try and do whatever is asked of me and am doing my best to please. I have learned to sit on command and walk on the leash well. I am a pretty quiet dog with a sweet little spirit. I have had no problems with any of the other dogs at the rescue. I do have some Shar Pei in me, if you didn't notice the characteristics of broad shoulders that give me somewhat of a bulldoggish stance, and my slight wrinkles on my forehead which makes me appear like a great thinker at all times!
I also have the standard trait of being quite a talker, giving you my opinion when I think it is needed and my opinion is that I have been in rescue too long- won't you put your application in on me?
I like to snuggle in bed at night but I could be ok in my own bed too. I am very good about telling my person when I need to go outside. I like being outside and I also like being inside. I like walks and enjoy playing. I require daily brushing but that is it- I am an easy to care for dog.
My uniquely rough, loose coat has the typical Shepherd coloring. Shar Pei's are an independent breed, very owner-oriented as are GSD's. They are protective and both are very intelligent and usually excel in obedience training.
They are both quick to learn so this is a great combo! Stanley is such a cutie pie - he loves to attention and would love to be part of your family.
Update from his foster home:
Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Guys do you want a “manly” dog but the wife wants a cute cuddly dog? Stanley is the dog for you! He has swagger and rugged good looks but is very loving and gentle. He is very smart and easy to train. He loves to cuddle, play with toys, and take walks. His energy level is low to medium so he does not require extensive exercise but would love to go on daily walks or runs. He may look like a fighter but he’s a lover!

I am very sweet and cooperative. I try and do whatever is asked of me and am doing my best to please. I am so grateful to be alive and out of the kill shelter. I have learned to sit on command, walk on the leash well and I ride in a car pretty well. I am a pretty quiet dog with a sweet little spirit. I have had no problems with any of the other dogs at the rescue. I do have some Shar Pei in me...if you didn't notice..the characteristics of broad shoulders that give me somewhat of a bulldoggish stance, and my slight wrinkles on my forehead which makes me appear like a great thinker at all times! : )
I also have the standard trait of being quite a talker...giving you my opinion when I think it is needed : ).
I like to snuggle in bed at night- but I could be ok in my own bed too. I am very good about telling my person when I need to go outside. I like being outside and I also like being inside. I like walks and enjoy playing. I require minimal maintenance. Brushing with a good bristle brush every other day keeps my unique coat in excellent condition

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Guys do you want a “manly” dog but the wife wants a cute cuddly dog? Stanley is the dog for you! He has swagger and rugged good looks but is very loving and gentle. He is a Shar Pei mix which was bred to guard the Chinese temple so he is protective of his person and rarely leaves their side. He is very smart and easy to train. He loves to cuddle, play with toys, and take walks. His energy level is low to medium so he does not require extensive exercise and with his coat minimal grooming is needed. His unique coat is tough but slick from the neck down but soft like a horse’s nose on his head. He sighs when you rub his face or chin area. He may look like a fighter but he’s a lover!

I am very sweet and cooperative. I try and do whatever is asked of me and am doing my best to please. I am so grateful to be alive and out of there. When Jenny, one of our volunteers with our director gave me a bath, I did not resist at all. I just stood quietly and let them get me all clean and smelling A LOT better- now I feel better too. I sit on command, walk on the leash well and like to ride in a car ~ all done quietly and with a sweet little spirit. I have had no problems with any of the other dogs at the rescue. I have some scars on my head and legs and they think I might have been a bait dog in a dog fighting ring...if I could talk I would tell them all the many hardships I have really faced...not sure they would want to know. I have put that behind me and am ready to move on. I can't wait for a loving home.
PS. I love for my head to be rubbed- evident in one of my glamor shots. Anyway, I am so glad they gave me a chance for a new better life....I wonder if it will be with you and your family? Won't you come out to meet me and see if I am the dog for you?
