Congratulations to Mulan, This Week’s Halo Pet!
August 27th, 2008 by Mira
Three cheers for Mulan, our Halo Pet of the Week! Mulan is an adorable Shar-Pei, who resides at The Ferret and Dove Sanctuary in Florida.
This wonderful girl hasn’t had it easy, as she nearly lost her life when her former owner was forced to give her up. The local pound had a policy of destroying breeds that were deemed aggressive, and unfortunately, Mulan’s breed would have fallen into this category.
The Sanctuary rescued her though, and she couldn’t be a sweeter girl! They call Mulan the peacemaker-dog, and she is said to be very protective of the doves and rabbits that she lives with. She even wants to go outside to be with her birds when there’s bad weather. We’re proud to present Mulan as our Pet of the Week and hope she enjoys her Halo goodie bag!
Think your pet should be next week’s winner? Just head over the Halo Pets MySpace Page and send us a picture of your favorite kitty or pup.

THANK you all for giving old Mulan Shar-Pei a spotlight. She has also been a herding-dog for the occasional domestic ferret who escapes outside. For some reason known only between each of them, the escapees always go to visit Mulan and we often find the missed ferret with her, three different times in three winters we’ve found the missed ferrets sleeping on Mulan’s furry back while she’s turned her head to lick on them (sleeping on her warm furry back).
Mulan is a purebred Shar-pei, but one of those “throwbacks” that can never be entered into a dog show. However she’s been a PERFECT Sanctuary dog!
