	Sadie - Female, red brushcoat. She came to us from Georgia where she was known as Rose. She now lives in Lititz PA.
	Sally - female, sable horsecoat, 3 years old from the Lackawanna SPCA. She was found living in a car with her pups.
	Sam - Male, fawn horsecoat, 1.5 years old. Owners claimed they could not keep him because of a new baby on the way. There is no reason this Shar-Pei, or the majority of Shar-Pei, cannot live with children of any age. He now lives in Pottsville, PA.
	Sam II - Male, black horsecoat, 6 months old. He came from a shelter in Brooklyn, NY and was surrendered there because the owner was going into the military. He was known as Tyson II, and now lives in Mill Hall, PA.
	Sam III - Male, blue horsecoat who was rescued from a shelter in NYC. He was a private surrender. Sam is now living in Mt. Joy, PA along with Chloe another one of our rescued Shar-Pei.
	Sami (a.k.a. Snickers) - Hi there! My name is Snickers. I am a female, dark chocolate horsecoat and I am between 2 and 3 years old. I am one of those New York City kids that got lost and ended up in a noisy, crowded shelter. That was not fun at all. There were lots of my canine friends there in search of a loving home. I really felt bad for all of them. I was one of the lucky ones because I was not there very long until two O.S. reps bailed me out. Staying at the rescue is not bad at all. We get good food, biscuits for good behavior, nice walks, toys to play with and lots of friendly volunteers that keep us company and play with us. I am a very healthy dog and passed my exam with flying colors. I love meeting people. That is my very favorite thing to do. I not only like to meet people, I give everyone kisses whether they want them or not. I am playful, happy and sweet. If you are looking for a really nice, fun-loving dog, give O.S. a call. I am ready to go. All I need is that very special family to say – “Hey, Snickers. We are coming to get you!” I will have my bags packed and will be ready to roll!!
	Sammee Lee - Male, red fawn brushcoat. He was a stray from Liverpool PA, and now lives in Lancaster PA.
	Sammo - Male, red fawn horsecoat, approx 1-2 yrs old. Rescued from the Clinton County SPCA in Lock Haven PA. Formerly known as Samson, he is a very nice boy, friendly and well behaved.
	Sammy - Male, fawn brushcoat. In May 1998 we got a call that a Shar-Pei was fished out of the East River by the NY City Police. He was paddling in circles, dazed, dehydrated and hypothermic. A man who either got involved in the rescue or heard of the rescue kept him where he was working at a warehouse until he contacted us. The dog needed to be hospitalized and this man paid for his vet bill. The guy lives in Virginia and owns a female Shar-Pei. Anita Murdaugh, our rep in the Jersey area who does all the NYC rescues picked him up at the warehouse. Before we got a chance to transport him to the rescue home, the man from Virginia called and said he would really like to adopt him. The only way OS would consider it was verifying that a vet appointment had been made to neuter him and do the eye surgery. All that has been done and Sammy is living a very happy life in Virginia.
	Sampson - Male, apricot dilute, 6 months old. He is from NYC, and originally from Puerto Rico. His owner surrendered him because the landlord would not allow a dog. He was formerly known as Boris, and is living in Schaefferstown, PA.
	Sandy - Female, fawn horsecoat, 3 years old from New York City. She now lives in Harrisburg PA.
	Sangria – Hello. My name is Sangria. I am a female, black brushcoat and I am a young adult. I was rescued from a shelter in PA. I got lost and was picked up by an animal control officer. My owners were contacted, but they said they did not want me anymore. I guess you could say that I was thrown away! I was so sad when I heard that. I never thought that I would be listed as “homeless”. I still am trying to figure out why they would not want me back. I thought I was a member of the family. I loved them a lot and would have never turned my back on them. Everyone at Operation Scarlet told me not to worry. They all said they like me a lot and that makes me feel so much better. I am settling in and realizing that the people at the rescue will find a very good home for me. I am crate trained and housebroken. I hardly ever bark. I am actually quite calm. I sit for a biscuit and even offer my paw. If I sound like the dog for you, please contact O.S. and ask for me, Sangria. I will love you FOREVER and ALWAYS.
	Sara Lee - Hello. My name is Sara Lee. I am a one year old, black brushcoat. I was a stray and came from a shelter in PA. I am a very quiet, shy and gentle little girl. I do not like being homeless for I really want someone who will love me and give me good care. I promise to be a very good girl and will always remain loyal to that special someone who will take me home with them. If you want a little cuddle bug, get in touch with O.S. and ask for me, Sara Lee.
	Sarge II - Male, fawn horsecoat. He was found as a stray in the Harrisburg area and he now lives in Lebanon PA.
	Sasha II - Michael & Diane, York, PA
	Sasha IV - Female, fawn horsecoat, 2 yrs old. She is from Georgia. She was hit by a car and has extensive injuries. Her story was aired on an Atlanta TV channel with a public plea for financial help for her medical expenses. $3,000.00 was raised. She had broken hips and a broken leg and severe lacerations exposing internal organs. According to the veterinary hospital she was about 10 minutes away from death when she arrived at the hospital. She is an adorable, loving girl who is deserving of all the help she received. She now lives in Millersville PA.
	Sasha V - Female, fawn horsecoat, 7 months old. She was abandoned in an apartment in Manheim, PA. She is a very sweet dog, and she now lives in Bernville, PA.
	Sasha VI - Female, chocolate horsecoat from the Harrisburg shelter. She was a stray. She was formerly known as Tootsie. She now lives in Bethlehem PA.
	Sasha VII - Hello, everyone. My name is Sasha. I am a female, fawn horsecoat and I am just 6 months old. I came from a shelter in Maryland. I was pretty frightened because my new family dropped me off there and just walked away from me. I did not know why and I wondered what I did wrong. I heard them tell the people at the desk that I was too much trouble. Puppies do take some extra work because we do need to go to the potty more often and we have a lot to learn like puppy manners and social skills. We puppies rely on our human parents to teach us right from wrong just like they teach their human children. I was quite sad, but the nice people at O.S. told me not to worry about a thing. They said that a very nice family will come along and scoop me up in no time. They also told me that they would be sure that my new family will not desert me, but instead give me lots of love and good care. I am really a very good puppy. I am playful, but quite well behaved. I sleep all night and I am quite content in my crate.
	Sassy IV - Sassy is a new arrival. She was rescued from a shelter in VA. Her time was up as of March 30. Lucky for her that O.S. was notified. Mike Riddelle made the trip to save the little Pei in distress. She is a sable brushcoat and very, very sweet.
	Sebastian II - Male, black horsecoat. Sebastian was an owner surrender from Philadelphia, PA in 2001. He is now in a forever home with another Shar-Pei in Martinsburg, WV. Thank you so much Bridgett and Tom for giving him a second chance at life.
	Segal - Hi! My name is Segal. I am a very handsome and regal looking Shar-Pei. I am a two year old, male, sable horsecoat. I along with my Shar-Pei friend, Chubbs, was surrendered by our owners to a shelter in Pittsburgh, PA. Sad to say, they did not appreciate our loyalty and friendship. Chubbs and I were very frightened at the shelter, but when we arrived at Operation Scarlet things got much better for us. We like to go for walks and the treats are out of sight. We now wag our tails and look much happier when the volunteers spend time with us. What would really make my tail wag even faster would be to find out that I have a loving family to call my very own. Call O.S. and ask for Segal. You would really make my day!
	Selena - Hi everybody. My name is Selena. I am 1 1/2 years old and I am a female, black brushcoat. I came from a shelter in Philadelphia, PA. My owners dropped me off at the shelter because they were moving. I must say I was very hurt and disappointed with their decision to abandon me. We Shar-Pei love our families so much and it is always so hurtful when they cast us aside. I hope to find a family who will appreciate my love and loyalty. I am shy at first, but when I am comfortable in my surroundings, I am very playful. I am a very good girl and I sit and offer a paw for a dog treat. If you are looking for a very sweet and playful Shar-Pei, call the rescue and ask for me, Selena!
	Sensei - Marysville, PA
	Serenity – Hello. My name is Serenity. I am a very, very shy little chocolate brushcoat female. I am about 9 months old. I came from a shelter in PA and was dropped off by my owner. I was so scared at the shelter and just hid at the very back of the kennel. I did the same thing when I was taken to O.S. I never thought I would be homeless, especially not at only 9 months. I much prefer being around dogs than people. I like playing with other dogs, but people really scare me. Maybe in time I will come to realize that – Not all people are bad. Not all people throw little puppies away. Not all people are disloyal. Not all people make and then break promises. I really do want to be able to trust and enjoy humans, but I am just not ready yet. I just want to hide in the back of my kennel. I really don’t want my heart broken again. Word has it that I am going to move on to a foster home. It will be more quiet – not as many people to deal with. The people at O.S. seem to be nice. They said that they will help me with my problem and that some day I will find a very special person that I can trust and come to love. Maybe that will happen, but right now I just want to hide in my crate. That is my safe place.
	Shadow III - Male, black brushcoat, a 1 yr old. He is from Lawrenceville, GA. He is an owner surrender who could not keep him because of his work schedule. He is good with other dogs and very friendly. Very playful. He now lives in Quarryville PA.
	Shadow IV - Hi, my name is Shadow. I am a 2 year old, male, fawn horsecoat. I was rescued from a shelter in PA because my owner drove truck and could not take me on the road. I am a very playful guy with a great temperament. I would really like to find a "forever" home so that I will have a family I can love and who will love me in return. If you are looking for a really good canine buddy, get in touch with O.S. and ask for Shadow!
	Shadow V – Hi! My name is Shadow. I am a female, dark chocolate brushcoat and I am about one year old. I was taken to a shelter because my owner was allergic to me. I am one very happy Shar-Pei. My tail is always wagging and I am always on standby for the next person that wants to play with me. I was a pretty sad dog when I lost my home, but my luck changed very quickly. When I walked through the doors of Operation Scarlet, I met a very nice man and lady. They said they were in search of another Shar-Pei. Well, let me tell you, did I ever pour it on. I wiggled and waggled and danced and spun around and did anything and everything to show them what a happy dog I am. Well, it worked. I was chosen before I even entered the rescue room to meet the other homeless Shar-Pei. As soon as I go for my vet exam, I will be joining my new family. Thanks O.S. for finding my new family so quickly!
	Shaka - Female, chocolate. She is from Delaware.
	Sharona - Hello. My name is Sharona. I am a female, cream horsecoat and I am between 3 and 4 years old. I was a stray and came from a shelter in New Jersey. I am very shy at first, but once I am assured that I will be treated kindly, I will be your friend. I am very gently with my shyness, I do not get grumbly. I would very much prefer a fenced in yard because of my shyness. I could be difficult to catch if I slipped out the door. If given one wish, it would be to find a family who would love me and give me lots of good care. I dream of finding my "forever" home. If you would like to make my dream come true, just call O.S. and ask for me, Sharona.
	Sheva -Totally sweet Shar-Pei/Bull Terrier mix. Sheva is as sweet as can be and just loves everyone she meets!
	Shong - Male, fawn brushcoat. Shong was rescued from a shelter in Maryland in 2000. He is now enjoying the good life in Columbia, Maryland with two other O.S. Shar-Pei. Thank you Vicki and Pete for giving him that second chance that he so desperately needed. He sure looked great on adoption day!
	Shrek - Hi! My name is Shrek. I am a male, red brushcoat and I am about one year old. I came from a shelter in New York. I guess by now you are looking at the size of my head and wondering what might be wrong with the picture. Well, nothing is wrong with the picture. My head is actually that large. It does sometimes present itself as a problem. Like when I am eating from my dog bowl. I have to squeeze my fat little lips into the bowl. I have been called bobble head, tomato head and hippo head. I don't mind. In fact, I have a great sense of humor and can laugh right along with everyone else. You see, I hear many people say that I am absolutely adorable and that really pleases me.
	Shroeder aka Blu - Hi! My name is Blu. I am a five month old, black brushcoat male. I was having lots of fun in my new home playing with children and having a grand time when all of a sudden I was taken to a shelter. I was really afraid since I am still a baby. My family said they did not want to pay for eye surgery that I might need to have done. Now I am happier because I am at Operation Scarlet and I have fun playing with the volunteers. That is okay for now, but I really need a family who will enjoy watching me grow into a handsome Shar-Pei. Puppies need a family to give them lots of love and that is what I am in search of. I am a very good pup. I am crate trained and housebroken. I would be a really happy boy again if I had a family that will give me lots of love and good care. Why don't you give a call and ask for me, Blu!!
	Sienna - Female, red brushcoat. She is about 1 year old and was transferred from PAWS to Operation Scarlet. She is now happily living in Hummelstown.
	Simba IV – Hello. My name is Simba. I am approximately 5 to 6 years old and I am a male, cream horsecoat. I was rescued from a shelter in NJ. I along with my Shar-Pei friend, Teddy Bear, were taken to the shelter because an elderly family member was allergic to us. Teddy and I spent several days at the shelter until O.S. picked us up. I am a very well behaved boy and I love to be cuddled. I have very big expressive eyes that will just melt your heart. I am housebroken, crate trained, and I am very good with children, dogs and cats. If you are looking for a wonderful friend and companion, please call the rescue and ask for me, Simba. You would make me one very happy Shar-Pei.
	Sissy - Female, black brushcoat. Formerly known as China, she came from the Chambersburg SPCA with her sister Alex. She is now living in Saylorsburg, PA.
	Sissy II – Hi! My name is Sissy. I am a female, red brushcoat and I am about five years old. I came from a shelter in West Virginia.
	Slate - Hi! My name is Slate. I along with my three litter mates just arrived at O.S. from a shelter in West Virginia. We are just 8 weeks old. I am a male, lilac horsecoat mix. My mommy is a Shar-Pei but she is keeping it a secret as to who my daddy is. I am a very happy baby and love to be held. We were pretty scared when we had to leave our mommy and go to a shelter. The world sure is a very big place when you are as little as me. My brother and sisters and I hope to get chosen real soon so that we can grow up in a loving home. If you think I am cute and would like to adopt me, give O.S. a call. Remember, ask for me, Slate!
	Slinky - Hi! My name is Slinky. Even though I am just a baby, I was picked up as a stray. I am a female, fawn horsecoat and I am about 9 months old. I was rescued from a shelter in New Jersey.
	Smoke – Hi, Folks! My name is Smoke, I am a male, shaded black brushcoat and I am just one year old. I was brought to O.S. by a family that took me in because my owner was moving. The family that took me in was very nice, but they realized that they just did not have the time for me. They do have a dog, and I guess they realized they did not really want two dogs. I liked their dog and their children and I was a pretty good boy, but, oh well, here I am, homeless again. I am a very happy guy and very playful. I sit for biscuits and I am crate trained. My wish is that I get a “forever” home very soon. I like people a lot, but I really do not want to be bounced from place to place. If you think I might be the dog for you, please contact O.S. and ask for me, Smoke. A call for me would be a tail wagging experience!
	Snickers - Hello, my name if Snickers. I am a female, black brushcoat and I am about 1 1/2 years old. I came from a shelter in PA.
	Snow - Hi! My name is Snow. I am between 9 months and one year old. I am a male, cream brushcoat. I am somewhat shy so I follow my Shar-Pei friend everywhere. Her name is Peg and I really like her a lot. Her picture is on this page too. We were surrendered by our owners to a shelter in NY. We had to stay in the yard all day and all night too. Peg was the only friend I had and she watched over me.
	Snuggles - Hello. My name is Snuggles. I am a 3 year old, female, cream brushcoat. Never mind the ears. They just got a little bigger than they should have. Some Shar-Pei do have bigger ears like mine and some Shar-Pei even have ears that stand up. I know they are supposed to fit tight to the head, but I wanted to stand out in the crowd. I came from a shelter in West Virginia.
	Solomon - Male, cream horsecoat, five years old. He was an owner surrender due to a marital separation. He has a great personality, loves kids and cats. He now lives in Lancaster PA.

	Starr - Hi, folks. My name is Starr. I am about 10 months old and came from a shelter in NJ. The people at O.S. think I might be a mix. I am a very pretty girl with a shaded black brushcoat. I have a wonderful personality and like people and other dogs. I am quite well mannered and I would be a wonderful friend and loyal companion for a family that would give me lots of love. I am anxiously waiting for that special family. Get in touch with O.S. and just ask for Starr.
	Stella - Female, black brushcoat, 9 months old. Former owners did not have time to care for her. She now lives in West Virginia.
	Stitch - Hi, everyone. My name is Stitch. I am a red brushcoat male and I am about 9 months old. I am originally from NC, but had been living in MD. I was only with my family for two weeks. They got rid of me because they said I was tormenting the cat. Boy, I got all the blame when in fact the cat was teasing me. I would react to the darned cat and then I would get all the blame. I have been bouncing from place to place like a little rubber ball. I sure hope I soon find that special “forever” home that so many dogs keep talking about. If you are in search of a really nice Pei that loves meeting people and is very, very playful, then get in touch with O.S. and ask for me, Stitch. I will be your loyal friend and companion if given a chance.
	Suki - Female, apricot dilute horsecoat, 8 months old. Formerly known as Shinobi, she was a stray and came from the Gloucester County SPCA in NJ. She now lives in Mechanicsburg PA.
	Suki III - Female, chocolate brushcoat rescued from a shelter in New Jersey. She now lives in Lancaster PA.
	Su Ling - Female, sable horsecoat, 2 yrs old. Private surrender due to couple breaking up. Very intelligent. Gives a "high five". Formerly known as Shadow, she now lives in Schaefferstown PA.
	Sushi - Hi! My name is Sushi. I am a one year old, female, fawn brushcoat. I really cannot tell you why I was abandoned, but that is what happened to me. Shelter employees found me at the shelter in the overnight drop box. I must say that was the most frightening thing that ever happened to me. I overheard my owners saying that they did not want the expense of treating my skin condition. I think that is why they dumped me. True, my skin did need help, but come on; they could have handled it a bit better than that! Anyway, the shelter employees told me not to worry and put me in a nice warm kennel with fresh water and some good food. I even had a soft blanket to sleep on. It was not long until a nice guy by the name of Robb picked me up and put me in his car. Oh, boy, not another drop box please!!! Robb assured me that I did not have to worry or be frightened because I was going to a Shar-Pei rescue. Wow, was that a relief! The people at the rescue are very nice and they take such good care of all of us homeless kids. I was treated for fleas and given a good diet and guess what? I started sprouting hair. All I needed was Frontline and a good brand of dog food. I looked like a Chia Pet. Every day more and more hair started popping out all over me. In about three weeks, I had a full coat of hair. Amazing what a little bit of GOOD CARE will do for a dog. Well, now I am sitting at Operation Scarlet in hopes that I will soon find my “Forever” home. There will be no more DROP BOXES for me. If you think you would like a very petite and friendly Shar-Pei, give O.S. a call and ask for me, Sushi. Boy, telling that story was fun. I hope you enjoy reading it and I hope I get chosen real soon.
	Sweetie - Female, cream, 3 years old. She was scheduled to be put to sleep because of an injured leg. Operation Scarlet rescued her and surgery was done to repair the injured leg. She will regain full use of the leg. OS's Georgia Associate Cindy Phillips fostered her.
