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.

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.

Apollo
Apollo has the look of a little bear, with his soft cream-colored coat and soulful eyes that tell a story of resilience. With his fosters, Apollo is learning what it means to be loved, to feel safe, and to truly relax. He's discovering the joy of play—tossing his toys up in the air, sharing happy moments with other dogs, and even curling up on the bed beside his foster mom.
This sweet 3-year-old boy may need a little extra care—he might require surgery for his eyes, and his skin is still healing. Yet, in return, he’s ready to offer every ounce of his loyalty, affection, and companionship.
Given a calm environment, Apollo has a gentle nature and would likely thrive with other pets, possibly even with children. If you’re an experienced dog lover with a warm spot for a sweet boy, Apollo might just be your missing piece.

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.
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.
