This Squishy, Wrinkly-Faced Shar-Pei Mix is Ready to Steal Your Heart at the Warrick Humane Society

There are three things in this world that are simply the cutest: baby animals, tiny humans, and those wrinkly Shar-Pei faces! If you need a little warmth on this chilly November day or you’re thinking of adding a new furry friend to your life, you’re in luck—meet our Pet of the Week, Koko!

Meet Koko: The Adorable Shar-Pei Mix Ready for Adoption

Koko is a one-year-old Shar-Pei mix who’s been patiently waiting at the Warrick Humane Society for 117 days. Due to two cherry eye repairs, her adoption process was delayed, but now she’s all set to find her forever family.

Important Things to Know Before Adopting Koko

She’s fully vaccinated, dewormed, protected against fleas, ticks, and heartworms, and she’s spayed and microchipped.

Shar-Pei Personality: What to Expect with Koko

Koko does well with some other dogs, but a meet-and-greet would be best to make sure personalities match. She’s ready to bring her adorable wrinkles and lots of love to a new home!

How to Adopt Koko from the Warrick Humane Society

If you're interested in her or any of the WHS's other adoptable pets, please fill out an adoption application online at https://warrickhumanesociety.org/adoption/. Their hours are Wednesday-Thursday 12-7 and Friday-Sunday 12-4. Their address is 5722 S Vann Rd, Newburgh IN 47630.
