Story
smokey was in Irvine pound t& they were going to kill him because they said he was aggressive He was not. He was scared and protective while incarcerated. The pound scared him by poling him. He was afraid of them all. His owner went to see him and he was a sweet boy. which surprised them. He was being reactive to other dogs on walks, aggressive however he has been in boot camp for a month and that issue has been worked with. He wants to be good boy and he is. He will need an experienced owner who will know. to keep him confident and be the leader with exercise.. contact adoptachowla@gmail.com

Story
Boa Boa was left behind by family going back to China. The relative was going to dump him in a kill pound - he had no where to put him. We networked him for a resuce or adopter or foster. NO ONE stepped up. He was in northern Cal. We had a pal get him and bring him to Ventura to boarding. He is safe but really needs home or foster. Poor boy was confused and sad but now he is better nd is taking treats from volunteers.Boa Boa is STUNNING.

Story
Momo is a 3-year-old, tall and dashing adventurer who`s ready to be your loyal sidekick! He’s happiest in big backyards, where he can roam freely and survey his kingdom from a deck. With a love for stairs, Momo tackles them like a pro, despite having a bit of trouble hopping into cars. But don`t worry—he`s all about the fun, whether it`s cow ears (his favorite treat), bully sticks, or a good chase after squirrels. Momo`s got personality: he’s sweet, affectionate, and happiest when he`s the only pet in the spotlight (sorry, other dogs and chickens!). A pro snuggler, he’s also your best buddy when it comes to enjoying cozy moments at home. Just watch out—he’s tall enough to leave those charming muddy pawprints on your kitchen counter, so removing the stovetop knobs might be a good idea! This happy-go-lucky guy isn’t just all fun—he’s smart and responsive, mastering commands like `sit` for a tasty mozzarella treat. Whether lounging by your side or exploring the outdoors, Momo will bring joy, loyalty, and a touch of goofy charm into your life. Ready for an adventurous, affectionate companion? Momo’s your guy! I`m available for a 10 day adoption trialLearn more about our adoption process.

Story
Meet Buddy! Buddy was rescued after being found living on the side of a freeway, but you’d never guess it from his sweet and mellow personality. He’s a gentle soul who enjoys hanging out with people and gets along well with other dogs, though he’s happy to keep to himself when needed. After his owners never came forward, we made sure he got everything he needed—grooming, vaccinations, microchipping, and neutering. Most importantly, he’s been socialized with other dogs and has shown he’s a well-mannered, easygoing companion. Buddy is now ready for a loving forever home where he can enjoy the safety and comfort he deserves. If you’re looking for a laid-back, friendly dog to join your family, Buddy might be the perfect match! Could Buddy be your new best friend? Contact us to meet him!

The easiest way to adopt a Chow Chow is through a rescue that specializes in Chow Chows. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Chow Chows in your area.
