Rowan

Meet Rowan! He's ready for his forever home but needs a foster placement first!

Rowan's favorite activities include chasing squirrels, playing with toys, pulling out fluff, and rubbing his head and back under your legs—especially when he's nervous.

- 3-year-old red male, 75 lbs

- Chow experience required

- No young children or older folks; he can be mouthy and nippy during playtime

- Other dogs are fine as long as they are tolerant of his playful nature

- No cats; fenced yard needed; best with a private space to roam rather than leash walks for potty time

- Continued training on social skills and mouthiness during play is essential

Rowan is currently located near Houston, TX.

Mocha

Mocha is ready for her second chance at finding a loving forever family. This affectionate 2-year-old is full of energy and a zest for life. She is a quick learner and has already mastered numerous commands. She is also very food and toy motivated, which will assist with further training. Mocha loves having a spacious yard to run and play. She needs a home without cats, and while she may be fine with a dog sibling, she still needs practice socializing and may be happiest as an only dog.

Mocha is currently located in Spring, TX.

Deuce

Deuce is a 2-year-old Chow Chow with a quiet temperament and gentle personality. He has lived peacefully with a cat sibling his whole life, so could potentially do fine with cats. However, he does have a high prey drive, so proper introductions are necessary. He is currently working on some reactivity issues, particularly with men, and would do best as an only dog.

Deuce is an energetic boy who loves to run in the yard and go on walks! He is also very smart and food-motivated and works hard to listen to and obey instructions.

Deuce is currently located in Tulsa, OK.

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.

Annie Eloise

Guess who's thriving and absolutely glowing in her foster home? Yep, our girl Annie Eloise! She’s come so far since her initial rescue and her transformation has been nothing but inspiring. Annie was found near an area known for abandoned pets, and after briefly disappearing, she finally reappeared—ready to be saved.

Annie’s personality is shining through more every day! She even leaned in for pets, giving the cutest tail wags! Plus, she’s doing fantastic with her foster family’s oldest child, greeting him with all the excitement of a playful puppy!

Annie Eloise is currently located in Silsbee, TX.

Percy

If you’ve been following Percy’s story, you’ll know it hasn’t been the easiest road for this quirky, lovable boy. Chows have a reputation for being stubborn and opinionated, and Percy embodies that to a T. He’s not shy about letting you know what he thinks—he’ll grumble if you interrupt his plans, or huff dramatically if you tell him, “No, sir, don’t eat that bug.”

But here’s the thing: Percy’s not being difficult; he’s just being a Chow. Now, Percy has blossomed into the fuzzy, playful bear we always knew he could be. His coat is growing back beautifully. He loves toys, treats, and affection (sometimes all at once), which makes training both fun and productive.

But like many Chows, Percy thrives with people who truly understand him. He’s not a dog for a first-time owner—he needs someone who gets the breed’s quirks and knows how to work with them. Percy does great with humans and has no problem soaking up all the love.

What Percy Needs:

- Someone who’s familiar with Chows or independent, strong-willed breeds

- A fenced yard for play and exploration.

- No young kids—Percy’s rough play is better suited for teens and up.

- Ideally, an only-dog home, or one with a tolerant, well-trained dog and a handler willing to work through slow introductions.

Percy is currently located in Spring, TX.

Echo

If you missed your chance before, here’s your opportunity to change Echo’s life. After losing her beloved adoptive mom to a sudden illness, Echo is back in Texas and still in need of a loving forever family.

Meet Echo:

- 6 years old, 53 pounds

- Calm, independent, and loves the outdoors

- Great with dogs

- Needs a home without cats

Echo has been through a lot. She deserves a family who will give her the love and care she needs to heal. If you missed your chance to apply for Echo before, don’t wait any longer. This sweet girl has so much love to give.

Echo is currently located in Austin, TX

Nola

Nola is a sweet and loving Chow mix who is ready to find her forever home! This special girl made a memorable arrival via plane thanks to our amazing Pilots and Paws team! After being abandoned, Nola was brought to the shelter, scared and uncertain. But thanks to the kindness of her foster, she has come out of her shell and is thriving!

Nola is about 35 pounds and one year old, with a personality that’s as big as her heart! Nola's foster says Nola LOVES people and there’s no such thing as "too much" love for this sweet girl! She’s house trained and already knows the “sit” command, although she doesn't stay in it very long - ha! She's still learning. While she enjoys spending time with other dogs, her heart truly belongs to her humans!

Nola is playful, loves to chase squirrels, and enjoys cuddling with her foster family. She’s not a big barker, but she does like to be near her people and will express her needs vocally if she’s left alone. She’s ready to start the next chapter with a loving family!

Nola is currently located in Hallsville, TX

Wrigley

This beautiful one-year-old Chow Chow from Chicago is as classic as her namesake, Wrigley Field—full of charm and ready to find her forever team. Wrigley is a sweet, curious girl who’s learning the joys of home life. She’s been friendly and interested in other dogs, watching them with calm curiosity. She’s still gaining confidence in new environments, but she’s coming out of her shell more each day.

She’s incredibly food-motivated—treats are definitely the way to her heart! This makes her eager to learn and bond with people. Wrigley is also getting used to being pampered. While she wasn’t a fan of the blow dryer during her first grooming session, she handled it well and will only get more comfortable with time.

Wrigley is looking for a patient, loving home that understands the unique personality of Chows. She would thrive with an adopter who appreciates her independent but affectionate nature, and who will continue to help her blossom into the confident, happy pup she’s meant to be. If you're ready to knock it out of the park, apply today and make Wrigley your MVP!

Bowie

Bowie (Beau) is a 4-year-old, 60 lb purebred Chow Chow who has been working hard in training and is now ready to find his new family. After being returned from a previous adoption, Bowie has made huge progress with structure, socialization, and confidence-building.

Bowie is an intelligent and capable dog who thrives on clear leadership. When he lost his canine companion and was put in a leadership role he wasn’t ready for, it led to frustration and confusion. But with consistent training, he’s learning how to navigate the world with confidence!

Bowie is housebroken, crate-trained, and food-motivated. He loves toys, enjoys roughhousing, and is incredibly expressive once he trusts his handler. He can be pushy with new dogs but adjusts well when properly guided. He’s still working on leash manners and handling, so he needs a confident adopter who understands Chow Chows or independent breeds.

Bowie’s Ideal Home:

- Experienced adopter with strong leadership skills

- No small children (at this time!)

- A structured home that will continue his training

- A confident, well-balanced dog friend would be a plus!

Bowie is protective, playful, and full of personality. With the right person, he will be an incredible companion.

Bowie is currently located in Spring, TX

Squash

Squash is breathing in new beginnings after a tough start. This 2-year-old, 45 lb sweetheart was recently spayed and vaccinated, and while her journey has had some challenges, she's now on the road to a happier, healthier season.

Through it all, Squash has remained pure love. She’s the kind of pup who wants to be by your side, soaking up every bit of affection. If you stop petting her, she’ll place a paw on your lap as if to say, “Just a little more, please?” She’s gentle and well-mannered on a leash, enjoying the chance to sniff all the fresh grass and springtime blooms. While she’s still getting used to other dogs, one thing is for sure—she adores people and wants nothing more than to love and be loved.

We have recently learned that Squash will need entropion surgery to correct a common genetic eye disorder. For now, Squash is healing, relaxing, and letting her sweet personality shine. As she continues to blossom, we know she’ll make a wonderful companion for the right home. Squash will be ready for adoption soon!

Squash is currently located in central Colorado
