We take in Pekingese and other small dogs turned over to us by their owners as well as those we rescue from southern California Animal Control facilities. By the time we rescue them, many need expensive vet care to make up for years of neglect—dental treatments, eye doctors, skin medications, etc. We don’t adopt them out until we have done everything possible to make them healthy, well-adjusted pets. Many Pekingese can live happy, healthy lives into their upper teens!
