About Michelangelo:
Michelangelo is an adorable young dog. With his silky ears, gorgeous blue-grey brindle coat, and white paw, this Shar Pei mix is sure to steal your heart. With his extremely short coat he will be low shedding, too.
Personality:
Michelangelo has a fairly calm personality. He has a serene demeanor and is big on chewing—he loves his chew toys. He can pass the time easily with a toy in front of him, and the more toys, the better. Just like his namesake, Michelangelo, he displays a thoughtful and introspective nature.
Michelangelo is meticulous in his play, showing a deep concentration when engaging with his toys. His serene nature makes him a peaceful presence in any home, and his love for chewing keeps him happily occupied. Michelangelo’s patience and steady personality make him an easy-going and endearing companion.

Michelangelo is at the perfect age to begin his training journey. He’s bright and eager to please, making him an excellent candidate for basic obedience training and housebreaking. With consistent positive reinforcement and a bit of patience, Michelangelo will quickly learn new commands and behaviors, growing into a well-mannered and loyal companion.
Ideal Home:
Michelangelo would thrive in a loving and active home where he can receive plenty of attention and exercise. He would be a great fit for families, singles, or couples who have the time and energy to dedicate to his upbringing. A home with a yard or access to outdoor spaces would be ideal for his playful nature. He would also enjoy the companionship of other dogs.
Health:
Michelangelo is a healthy young dog and will come microchipped, and up-to-date on his vaccinations and deworming. Regular vet check-ups and a balanced diet will help him grow into a robust and healthy adult.
If you’re looking for a loving, energetic, and delightful new family member, Michelangelo might be the perfect addition to your home. Apply today and see if he’s the furry friend you’ve been searching for!
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
