Chow Chow puppies and dogs in Ferndale, Washington

Layla is the biggest, most adorablest floof ever! We really should have named her Little Bear, because Miss Layla is just so cute like a fluffy teddy bear! Honestly, super sweet, potty trained, loyal…what else do you want!? Layla is being fostered in Houston, Texas with small dogs male and female and gets along great with them. She isn’t a big player and spends most of her days snoozing on the floor or playing with her favorite purple monster stuffy. She is a very calm dog. She does enjoy watching for squirrels through the window and if given the opportunity, she will give them a little chase, but has yet to get close to one! This dainty little lady is estimated to be 3 years old and weighs about 40 pounds. We think she is a Chow Chow mix, but we aren’t really sure, so we just call her our Texas Special- which is the very best breed. Layla is so very smart! She knows how to sit, shake and lay down. Watch her in action on her video! Ridinging in the car with Layla is a dream. She loads up like a champ and is a great passenger, sitting quietly on the seat. She loves to look and the window and on longer rides will lay down in the seat and chill. No back seat driving from this girl! Layla is really good on the leash (only getting distracted by squirrels), but is easily redirected. She walks by other people and dogs with no notice, although everyone wants to look at her! She is the perfect companion for a morning coffee run (don’t forget her pup cup), to take the kids to school, or a late afternoon ice cream treat. Potty trained? Yes! Crate trained? Yes- but she does have to be tricked to go in the crate by tossing in a delicious treat and telling her to get in bed. At night, she does prefer to stay in her foster’s room, but does not get in the bed, but instead sleeps UNDER the bed. Layla is not a couch dog, but her foster is trying to get her to be! She lays right at your feet and wants to be by your side. She can be coaxed on the couch where she rolls around and snuggles for a few, but then goes back to staying right by your feet! When Layla attended a play group at the rescue she got along great with the other dogs, but wasn’t a big player. She hung in the sidelines. She met the rescue act Tom and was not reactive at all. If you have a feline in your life, we can have her spend more time with him! Layla has met many children and done great, however we always recommend that children are taught and expected to have proper boundaries with all dogs! If you need a dainty little floof in your life, apply below and and an adoption coordinator will reach out to see if you are a match! Please email Jodi@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $900 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW or the NE at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog’s needs. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: • 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.) • A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week) • One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan • 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan • Coupons for a fun visit to Petco • Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! We celebrated our 6 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.

Clifford is mostly Chow. He weighs around 60 pounds and we estimate he is around 2 years old. He was dumped on the side of a rural road with a litter of puppies and was rescued by good Samaritans. Clifford is a super wonderful dog. He is sweet, gentle, and good-natured. He especially loves puppies and gentle children. We do not know how he would do with cats. Clifford is a very good boy. He is crate-trained, sits on command, and walks well on a leash. Texas is extremely hot, and Clifford is happy to be in his crate inside the air-conditioned house. We are working on housetraining and he could probably use other gentle obedience training. Clifford rides well in a vehicle but is a bit nervous about getting into the vehicle. He is shy with new people (especially men) and takes some time to trust. Clifford is sensitive and scared of mean voices, rough treatment, and dogs that are mean to him. We are sure he was not treated well by whoever had him before. Clifford needs to be treated gently so he will trust you. Once he trusts you or another dog, he becomes happy and playful. Clifford deserves a wonderful home. He must be in the house as a loved member of the family. He must be walked on a leash and have a fenced yard to run and play. Clifford is neutered, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. Clifford has been treated for heartworms and is now heartworm-free. He gets monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Clifford is ready to change his zip code. He is located in Texas but can be transported after he is adopted. Clifford's adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport by a reputable and trusted transport company to Kent, Arlington, or Bellingham WA. Please email 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this gentle boy.

MEET JULIAN - a 4-5yr. old Pure Breed petite Chowchow. Julian was rescued from high kill shelter in Apple Valley past year and is looking for a committed forever home. He is living with the founder of ADR.org on Orcas Island [OI], WA. JULIAN is under 5 years old, weighs about 43lbs., shows a “typical chow personality: he wants HIS Human with a calm but strong pack leader mentality. JULIAN can be feisty and playful at times- so we would not recommend a home with children under 12years – All dogs adopted through ADR.org are altered, microchipped, fully vaccinated (Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Leptospirosis, Bordetella. From observation and assessment, ADR.org would recommend a structured, and calm home with not too many people coming and going as he does not like hectic. He is often nervous about new situations, and people he never met. But he does warm up quickly. A home where people cherish him, love the breed, and give him enough 1:1 at home. A solid fenced backyard would be a nice PLUS as he loves to run and “patrol” . He has one acre here. JULIAN also likes things structured, likes his routine. His compatibility with cats is guarded and would need an experienced owner around in that case. ADR.org has cat evaluated him and the founder would be happy to share that video with you. He would love a girlfriend, but would accept with a non-boisterous, too energetic male dog- HE Says>>. If you are interested in hearing more about JULIAN, contact me, the founder of ADR.org by emailing me to ADR@animaldefenserescue.org so that I can send you the proper ADR.org application. Tell me something about you and why you think you want to give JULIAN a home that I so wish for him. There are more videos that can be shared with you as well. Please share a bit about yourself in email, add some photos of your home and the outside of your home (fenced yard etc.?) Once I have your application back, we will have a phone call then to discuss it more and I get to know you better. WOOFLY, JULIAN and ADR.org

Please meet ARCHIE! who could resist this face? While ADR.org usually rescues from high Kill Shelters in CA, this fellow caught ADR.org's eye and heart. ARCHIE came to ADR.org through a cooperation with the Humane Society in Bend, OR. ARCHIE’s prior owner was admitted to the hospital sometime in December and unfortunately died in hospital care. First the neighbors were feeding ARCHIE while he was mostly outside alone- missing his owner. As this was not a sustainable situation and ARCHIE was not doing well, the decision was to bring him to the local shelter- as there was no further plan. ARCHIE is an 8 yr. old Pure-Bred cream-colored Chow, brings about 60lbs to the scale. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date with vaccinations. ARCHIE needs to have easy access to a well-secured garden/yard. He knows the purpose of a DOGGY DOOR. He had bloodwork and urinalysis done while with ADER.org which came back with no vet concerns. He is alert with other dogs, not reactive but selective. ADR.org thinks that having him as only dog might be the easiest on ARCHIE. We do not know how he is with cats. ARCHIE was shaved down at the shelter as he was so matted, and his fluffy fur has been growing back wonderfully. ARCHIE is a stoic fellow that LOVES to walk and get his sniffs outside in the forest, and he takes his time. He rarely barks but can get very alert when he thinks that there is “danger.” Having a caring and dedicated home for the rest of his life, a comfortable dog bed and continued good nutrition would make this fellow happy. He is crate trained and rests and waits there patiently. He lives for his walks and food (best time ever for him - he told me). ARCHIE is a delightful corky fellow and ADR.org is looking for a home that pampers him, has calm energy, and tends to his needs. If you would like to hear and see more of him (photos/videos), please contact the founder by sending an email to: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org and tell us a bit about yourself and why you would love to meet/adopt ARCHIE. Please add some photos of your home, and yard or anything else you would love to share. ADR.org will send you an application once you have reached out. ADR.org cannot wait to see him in a good and fitting home. NOTE: ADR.org will not ask for an adoption fee. Instead, the founder is welcoming a donation amount of your choice to be able to continue with saving ONE dog at A time. WOOFLY, ARCHIE

Meet FLUFFY- a young (2-3yrs) old female Chow/German Shepherd/Akita (DNS test results) mix- that is petite and brings around 45lbs to the scale. Life had not been good for FLUFFY, and she could have died on the side of a road in Victorville, CA in January. Would it not have been for a good Samaritan who noticed two dogs lying on the side of a highway, she would have died there as she could not get up: her hip was displaced as she and the other dog had been hit by a car. This individual rushed her to a vet clinic nearby that was open on New Year's Day and could put the hip back, followed by strict crate rest. It was then that ADR.org heard about this incident and connected with the person who found her. When FLUFFY was scheduled for spay, the surgeon saw that she was pregnant. FLUFFY gave birth to eleven puppies on the last Day in Feb. She was a wonderfully dedicated mom. Up to now, all of her have been adopted except for three. Since the beginning of May Fluffy has lived on Orcas Island with the founder of ADR.org. She lives with other dogs and two cats. Fluffy is very smart, submissive as well as strong willing. Observations show that she might be better compatible with female dogs than with male dogs. But these are just observations and are not restrictive. She is good with cats in a household. Likes to patrol on solid fenced property, FLUFFY is independent and tends to respect a strong pack leader (human) as her “friend” or leader more than an undecided and fickle one. She would be a very good long-distance hiking partner being athletic as she is, and the fact that she likes long walks in Mother Nature. ADR.org thinks that FLUFFY would not do well in a city setting. If you are interested in meeting her, and here and seeing more of her you would need to be able to come to Orcas Island where she remains as of now. Contact AnimalDefense Rescue.org by emailing: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org so that we can send you an application. At the same time, you contact us, please tell us a bit about yourself, your family and send some pictures of your home. We look forward to hearing from you. WOOF
