My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***COURTESY POST***

Meet Chunky, a 5-year-old charming and gentle male Chow with a smooth cream coat. Chunky is an endearing dog with a wonderful personality! He is ready to find his forever home where he can share his love and affection.

Training and Behavior
Chunky is a well-behaved dog who has a calm yet curious and loving demeanor. Chunky loves to go on walks, making him a great companion for outdoor activities. After a refreshing walk, he is happy to settle down for a nap and chill, showing his balanced nature of being both active and relaxed.

Chunky's fondness for treats makes him easy to train (for a chow!) He is a strong and beefy boy, but is also very good on leash.

Compatibility
Chunky has been absolutely great with new people and kids, making him an excellent family pet. His gentle and friendly nature ensures he gets along well with everyone he meets. He has been enjoying all of the attention he receives out and about with lots of tail wiggles, as he is quite a dapper and beautiful fella!

While his interactions with cats has not been extensively tested, regarding his overall disposition with dogs he has shown that he can get along with most. He has shared a home with multiple (7) dogs without issue. As with any new family member, adapting well rests on proper training and introductions.

We would be delighted to arrange a meet-and-greet and answer any questions you may have about Chunky. If you have further questions outside of this listing, please email javachowchow@gmail.com.

If you are interested in adopting Chunky and providing him with the loving home he deserves, please contact Debi Graham-Root at bpdebig@aol.com to submit an application.

**Chunky is currently located in St. Petersburg, Florida, transport may be available depending on location.**

More about this rescue

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.
