Bartleby
Have you ever wanted a cuddle-friendly, calm, but playful teddy bear? Have you always dreamed of having a Chow Chow but decided against it because you heard they weren’t very social?
Maybe you’ve wanted a Chow Chow but worried they would get too big for where you live. Or maybe you’ve simply been searching for the perfect fluffy pup who is loving, gentle, and affectionate.
If you answered YES to any of those questions, we may have the perfect boy for you! This handsome little guy is a micro Chow Chow with the sweetest personality. He is:
- Amazing with people
- Great with other dogs
- Calm, gentle, and loving
- Playful and cuddly
- Great for grooming
- An absolute fluffy teddy bear!
Bartleby's only preference? He’s not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home would be best for him.
He would make such a wonderful companion for someone looking for a Chow Chow with a more social, affectionate personality—and his smaller size makes him a great option for someone who has always wanted a Chow but couldn’t accommodate a larger one.
Bartleby is currently being fostered in Oklahoma City, OK.
Betty White
Betty is a petite little Chow Chow with a sweet, gentle, and quiet personality. She’s cautious and observant, but after just one week in foster care, she is already blossoming! Her tail is now up all the time, she happily goes in and out of her crate, follows the other dogs outside, and has even decided she should be the one leading the way to the backyard.
Betty is heartworm positive and currently receiving treatment — all heartworm treatment will be covered by HCCR until she tests negative.
Betty gets along beautifully with other dogs. Even when one playful pup grabs her tail, she simply gives him a dirty look and walks away. She truly doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her body!
She is still learning to trust people and isn’t quite ready for lots of affection. She may get nervous when you reach into her crate, but she has shown no aggression—she simply retreats to her safe space when she needs a little extra security.
Betty loves lounging on the cool tile floor, watching the world from the front window, relaxing outside, and going for car rides! She would make an excellent little copilot for someone who loves taking their dog along for the ride.
This sweet girl doesn’t need someone to rush her. She needs someone who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her confidence grow at her own pace. And she’s already showing us just how much she’s capable of blossoming.
Betty White is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.
Elvis Chowsley
Meet Elvis Chowsley! This handsome, 2-year-old, 46-pound boy is settling in, showing off his sweet personality, and proving that sometimes the quietest souls have the biggest hearts. Elvis is gentle, calm, affectionate, and so quiet that his foster hasn’t even heard him bark! He’s discovering his playful, silly side as he grows more comfortable. Sudden movements and unfamiliar noises can startle him, but he seeks reassurance from his trusted people and continues to make progress.
DOG FRIENDLY: Elvis gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and plays gently with smaller dogs. He truly enjoys canine company, and a friendly dog companion would be ideal.
CRATE TRAINED: He sleeps in his crate overnight and even chooses it for daytime naps.
KID FRIENDLY WITH CONSIDERATIONS: He’s done well with children ages 4 and 9. Because he startles easily, a home with older, respectful children would be the best fit.
STILL LEARNING: Elvis walks pretty well on a leash but can get tangled when startled. He signals when he needs to go outside and keeps his crate clean, though occasional indoor marking remains a work in progress. He’ll need a patient family willing to maintain a consistent routine.
Elvis needs a calm, predictable home with people who understand that confidence takes time. He has not shown defensive behavior in his foster home, and his gentle nature shines through as he learns to trust.
Elvis is currently being fostered near Oklahoma City, OK.
Atlas
Meet Atlas — Big Boy, Bigger Personality! At around 58–60 pounds, Atlas is a big, sweet boy with a whole lot of personality and some seriously silly habits! Atlas is still figuring out this whole playing with toys thing. Throw him a toy, and he might walk over to investigate it… then bark at it like it has personally offended him. Sometimes he’ll even pick it up and move it around! He’s trying his best, and honestly, watching him figure things out is half the fun.
Atlas enjoys being outside, where he can stretch out, relax, and simply enjoy the world around him. He has a playful side, too, and may enjoy a game of chase with another dog before deciding he has more important things to do.
Dog Compatibility: Atlas does well with other dogs! He can enjoy playing with canine friends, although he may occasionally bark at them when he gets bored. Proper introductions and compatible playmates will help set everyone up for success.
Cat Compatibility: A home without cats is recommended. Atlas tends to bark at cats, which could be very stressful for a feline housemate.
Training & Home Life: Atlas is a big, strong boy who would benefit from continued leash training and a family willing to help him build good manners. His foster is also continuing to learn how he does indoors, including working toward confidence around house-training and marking.
Atlas is still learning about the world, and he deserves a family who will appreciate his goofy personality, give him room to grow, and help him become the best version of himself.
Atlas is currently being fostered in Austin, TX.
Vlad the Impaler of Treats
Meet Vlad the Impaler of Treats! Formerly known as Beam, this little guy is an estimated 1-year-old Chow mix with a gentle, watchful soul. He’s still learning that the world isn’t so scary, so he’ll thrive in a calm, patient home that appreciates a dog who bonds on his own timeline and rewards that trust with total devotion.
Highlights:
- House trained
- Crate trained
- Good with dogs of all sizes
- Not yet cat tested
- About 26 lbs
- Working on leash training
- Best in a calmer home, loud kids may be too much for this sensitive boy
**Personality:**
Vlad is observant in classic Chow fashion. He can be shy at first, but he’s making wonderful progress every day. He’s selective with his affection in the best way, it means something when he chooses you.
He opens up greatly with another dog in the home or just in his presence. He looks to other dogs for guidance, so having a happy and confident dog in his forever home will help him gain trust with his new people.
**Fun fact:**
When Vlad gets nervous, he strikes an awkward downward-dog yoga pose, his signature move, and his foster’s favorite quirk. He came to the rescue as a shy boy who had to be trapped for capture, and he’s been bravely stretching (literally) out of his shell ever since. If you’re the kind of person who understands that the shy ones love the hardest, Vlad is waiting to be your most loyal companion.
P.S. - He is fully grown!
Vlad is currently being fostered in Oklahoma City, OK.
Benedict "Benny" Cumberchow
Meet Benny – Your Happy, Curious Companion! Benedict Cumberchow aka Benny is a handsome, approximately 3-year-old, 49-lb Husky/Chow mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This friendly, happy boy has really come out of his shell, and it’s been wonderful watching his personality shine.
Benny is curious, social, and enjoys being part of the action. He’s a pretty chill guy at home, but don’t let that fool you! He still has an active side and needs a home that can provide regular exercise, daily walks, and mental stimulation. He’s looking for someone who enjoys getting out and about and can keep both his mind and body engaged. Multiple long walks each day or an equally active lifestyle would be ideal.
Other Dogs: Benny is dog-friendly and could enjoy having a canine companion.
Cats: He’s shown promising manners with a very dog-friendly cat! He was curious, approached to sniff and investigate, but did not chase when the cat walked away. A calm, confident cat who doesn’t run from dogs may be a good match. Proper introductions are still important.
Outings: Benny is an excellent car rider when safely tethered and was a wonderful patient at the vet. He was friendly with the veterinary staff and handled his vaccines like a champ. He’s also great for grooming!
Benny has made such a lovely transformation, and now he’s ready for the next chapter: finding a family who will appreciate his friendly personality, curiosity, and happy spirit.
Benny is currently being fostered in Iowa.
