Hippo may be a short king, but his personality is larger than life. This wiggly cutie can’t run very fast, but when excited, he just might balance on his hind legs to show off! A true people dog, Hippo thrives on companionship and is partial to a kind hand offering treats. He’s happiest outdoors, exploring his surroundings with his nose to the ground, and likes to snuggle up after a day of adventure.
On walks, Hippo is learning to master his leash manners. While he tugs a bit at first, he quickly adjusts to your pace after a few strolls together. He’s dog-friendly and calm when meeting other pups up close, though he can’t resist barking at distant dogs. With a little guidance and his natural smarts—he’s even figured out how to unlock doors!—Hippo is already showing promise with commands like “come here” and “let’s go”. Unless, of course, he’s too busy investigating something fascinating.
Hippo’s ideal match is someone who appreciates his playful quirks, supports his learning of how to interact with other dogs, and likes to indulge in his appreciation of the great outdoors. This little guy is all heart, and ready to share it with a forever person.
**Paid transport can be arranged. Transport costs range from $200-400.**

Houston Chow Chow Connection is a collaborative of dog lovers and rescuers that dedicate their time, efforts and talents toward helping rescue Chow Chows in need. We are an entirely volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) organization with no administrative costs.
Our rescue traces its origin back several years to the work of Dianne Watson. Dianne dedicated much of her young life to saving homeless Chows in North and West Texas. In her memory, Houston Chow Chow Connection continues her passion of uniting Chow Chows with perfect forever families.
HCCC began rescuing in 2013 and re-homed over 400 dogs since inception, including over 125 in 2017! Our dogs found homes on the East and West coasts of the U.S. and have traveled north and south! As we continue to rescue and re-home more and more Chows, our costs grow. As you may know, rescuing animals takes money. Not only is there the typical care and upkeep (including food and general veterinary care), some of our rescues need specialized treatments.
At HCCC we don’t pick and choose the dogs we rescue – they pick us. While the majority of our rescues are healthy, we never turn our backs on the homeless, Chows with physical issues, or disabilities. Some of our incoming babies have suffered long-term and extensive neglect. New HCCC dogs may require spay/neuter, shaving due to extensive matting, entropion and/or hip replacement surgeries, treatment of skin problems and a variety of other issues.
