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.

Ernie
Meet Ernie: The Independent Soul with a Gentle Heart. Ernie is a two-year-old cream Chow who dances to the beat of his own drum. True to his Chow nature, he’s slow to warm up but has a loving side once he trusts you.
While he’s made significant progress from his shy beginnings, he’s still a bit skittish and prefers to take life at his own pace. Ernie listens well, does fine on walks, and enjoys calm, quiet companionship. Crowds aren’t his thing, and he’s happiest in a low-key, one-woman household where he can truly bond with his person. No men or cats, please.
This gentle boy might start off reserved, but with patience and understanding, Ernie’s affectionate nature will win your heart. Ernie is looking for a forever home that appreciates his independent spirit and gives him the safe, peaceful, loving environment he needs to thrive.
Ernie is currently located in Austin, TX.

Pluto
This sweet, affectionate, and playful Chow loves to be by your side, preferably touching you at all times. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for long walks, or romping around in the snow, Pluto is all about quality time with his person.
While Pluto is thriving in his foster home, he’s still working through separation anxiety. He’s not a fan of the crate and has been known to jump baby gates. But with the help of time, a loving routine, and the comfort of his foster pack, he’s making great progress and settling in beautifully.
Pluto is great with dogs of all sizes, walks well on a leash, and is the ultimate cuddle bug. He needs a home where he won’t be left alone for long—ideally with another dog or a human who’s around often. If you’re looking for a devoted, loving, and ridiculously cute companion, Pluto is ready to couple up for life!
Pluto is currently located in Friendswood, TX.

Buddi
Buddi is searching for a loving forever home! This handsome senior Chow mix is 7 years young and has a heart full of curiosity and wisdom.
In his old life, Buddi previously enjoyed the freedom of a doggie door, coming and going as he pleased. However, as his owner’s health declined, structure and discipline became inconsistent, allowing his independent Chow nature to shine through. Now in foster care, he’s learning routine and beginning to trust again. While he still appreciates his space, he’s showing more openness to companionship and love. He prefers not to be left alone for long periods and would thrive in a patient, understanding home where he feels safe and secure.
He deserves a home where he can continue to grow and be cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal, soulful companion, Buddi could be the perfect match.
Buddi is currently located in Magnolia, TX.

Buick
Buick was found after being struck by a car, and sadly, he suffered significant nerve damage to his left shoulder, rendering his left front leg useless. He also has entropion (a genetic eye condition) and is heartworm positive.
But despite everything he’s been through, Buick hasn't let a little rain dampen his spirits - he is one happy boy! He’s getting around on three legs like a champ, and now that he’s had successful surgery to remove his injured leg, his recovery is going incredibly well! His foster family says he’s adjusting quickly and getting stronger every day, with his spirit shining through. We’re confident that he’ll be fully recovered soon and will be ready for adoption in no time!
Buick is currently receiving the medical care he needs, including treatment for heartworms and ongoing care for his eyes. He’s showing incredible resilience, and we’re so proud of how well he’s doing. With his amputation behind him, Buick will be even more mobile and comfortable as he continues to heal.
Buick is currently located in Austin, TX.
