Vinny
Vinny has been on a long journey in search of his forever family. He’s made remarkable progress recovering from his hip surgeries but still has a few special needs, including managing his goopy eyes and impaired vision. His recent visit to the eye specialist brought good news—his first entropion surgery was a success, and his new eye drops are helping him feel much better.
About Vinny:
- 3-year-old black Chow mix; 54 lbs
- Friendly and sweet personality
- Independent
- Loves spending time with his people and always has a smile
- Gets along well with his foster siblings
Vinny’s sight impairment doesn’t hold him back from enjoying life. He loves to run, keep an eye out for squirrels, and go on car adventures. Groomers describe him as a true love bug. Though he may seem independent at first, once he gets to know you, he’ll shower you with affection and loyalty. While he hasn't been tested with other dogs, a careful introduction is recommended as he isn’t dog-reactive.
Vinny is currently located in Tulsa, OK.

Magnum
Meet Magnum, a chow seeking a fresh new start. Magnum has a calm and playful demeanor and typical Chow shyness at first, but he will warm up and bond with the right family. He is food motivated and a quick learner, having excelled at learning commands such as sit, shake, down, kennel, settle, and no sir. This sweet boy prefers a calm environment, so a home without small critters/cats, high-energy dogs, or children would be the best fit for him.
Magnum is currently located in Spring, TX.
Cookies N Cream
Cookies N Cream is checking in with some exciting news! She’s loved her recent pup dates and is finally showing her sweet personality. Now, she's ready for her forever home! Cookies N Cream is affectionate and playful. She has a bit of an alpha personality but is well-socialized with other dogs, so she would be fine with canine siblings or as an only dog.
She does have a high prey drive, so she most likely will not do well with cats. She is house and doggy door trained, does well on walks, and loves her people!
If Cookies N Cream has captured your heart, please fill out an adoption application!
Cookies N Cream is currently located in Norman, OK.

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.

- 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

Daisy
We are thrilled to reintroduce Daisy, who has once again joined the HCCC family. Daisy is a quiet 7-year-old girl who never whines or cries. She is starting to enjoy being petted and she’s becoming more settled and comfortable at her foster home.
Daisy does not get along with other female companions and is still a little unsure about interacting with male dogs, so slow introductions are a must.
Daisy is currently located in Austin, 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 other dogs in his direct space.
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.
LaQuinta (Lala)
La Quinta, affectionately known as Lala, is a 1-year-old smooth-coated Chow Chow who came to us from the New Braunfels shelter. She has suffered severe hair loss on her back due to chemical burns, which might have been caused by cheap topical flea prevention or a severe flea infestation. Lala is very sweet and people-oriented, always wanting to be near her human companions. While generally low-key, Lala gets the zoomies twice a day, showing off her playful energy.
Lala enjoys playing with other dogs and has shown little interest in cats, which means she may be compatible with a feline sibling, given proper introductions. In addition, she is highly motivated by treats and food, which can be useful for training and bonding.
LaQuinta (Lala) is currently located in Magnolia, TX.
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.
