Yogi
Introducing Yogi! Yogi is a fantastic house guest and loves attention. Though he may sometimes invade personal space in his eagerness to bond, he's typical of the chow breed, showing protective instincts and alerting his family to visitors. While he may have selective hearing, he's smart and responds extremely well to basic commands. So far, he knows 'Sit', 'Stay', and 'Release'. According to his foster, he loves to drop on his back to roll around on the ground and enjoys getting his back rubbed. Yogi would do best in a calm environment and a home without children.
Yogi is currently located in Hallsville, TX.

Bagheera
Bagheera is still searching for her forever family. Thanks to the unwavering love and patience of her foster mom, Bagheera now enjoys giving kisses, wagging her tail, and even sleeping on the bed. She remains cautious and needs time to feel safe, but once she builds trust and security, her love and loyalty is STRONG! She loves exploring her surroundings at her own pace, but slow introductions to new places and people are best. With her observant nature and sweet demeanor, Bagheera needs a calm, Chow-savvy adopter who understands her unique personality.
A peaceful, low-stress home without children under 12 years old is perfect. She thrives with a secure, fenced yard where she can roam safely, and a calm canine companion is ideal. Due to her prey drive, she needs a home without cats or small animals.
Bagheera is currently located in Denver, CO.

Carmello likes to be close to people but also enjoys running around with other dogs. He does have a tendency to run out the front door to roam but has not tried to dig or escape his fenced back yard. He also has a few funny quirks including paddling in the water bowl and trying to eat kibble as it's being poured into his bowl. Carmello’s ideal home is one where he can receive regular exercise. He would also thrive with a dog sibling and may be fine with cats with proper introductions.
Carmello is currently located in Plainview, TX.
Daikon
Daikon, a 3-year-old male Chow Chow, was rescued after being dumped and left to roam the streets. He is the sweetest dog getting along with kids, cats, dogs, and people.

Daikon is settling well in his foster home, showing excellent adaptability and friendliness towards people and other animals. Despite his rough start, he is proving to be a loving and well-behaved companion.
Daikon is currently located in College Station, TX.
Wellington

Some of Wellington’s favorite activities include: being outside, sniffing, exploring, observing, and dog-watching! He also loves mealtime and is very food-motivated (though he does not have the same enthusiasm for treats).
Wellington has an easygoing attitude towards other dogs. His interactions have been non-reactive and he seems generally indifferent to most dogs. He would likely do fine with doggy siblings or as an only dog.
Wellington is currently located in Magnolia, TX.
Gabby
Gabby was a stray who was rescued and sent to a shelter where we were able to save her. Initially, she exhibited some fear-based behaviors; however, after spending more time in a safe environment, Gabby has shown her sweet and playful nature, becoming more comfortable around people and other dogs. She is a 1-year-old energetic, playful, and happy puppy. She loves to play with toys, do zoomies around the yard, and is generally a joyful companion.
Gabby sometimes nips a bit too much when playing with other dogs, likely due to her young age and lack of early socialization. She is also hesitant about kennels and being leashed, but her behavior should improve with training and experience.
Gabby is currently located in Richmond, TX.
