Chow Chow Rescue

West Texas Chow Rescue has been rescuing and rehoming Chow Chows since 1995. What a mixed blessing it has been over the years. Lots of good times, too many sad times, and certainly filling a need. Over 1500 chows rescued by our group alone with limited funds, a handful of very dedicated volunteers, and a ton of effort, and after a little time off, we are continuing our program on a smaller scale.

Please take a look at our current cuties looking for fantastic homes.

Cookie--Adopted!

Hi, my name is Cookie and I am about 2-3 years old. I have been waiting for my own home for quite a while now. My journey started out in Arkansas where no one came to claim me. A very nice lady there took care of me and worked very hard to find me a place with Chow rescue so I had a better chance of finding a new home. I am now in Lubbock, with my new summer "do" and meeting all sorts of new chows and people. I really like boy dogs and girls are okay if they are not too pushy. People have been really great to me but I am still a little nervous when I first meet them and I would do best in a home without small children. I am an excellent house dog and like to go for walks or just hang out with my people. So, if you are looking for a cute little girl, please consider me for your new companion!!!

Faith

Here is the story of Faith. Someone dumped her in a big open field that was under construction. She was dragging part of a chain that was embedded into her neck. A good samaritan started feeding her and set about trying to win her friendship. It took 6 long weeks and a lot of perseverance but she was finally able to catch her! She came directly here where she was put in a warm, safe kennel and started on antibiotics, vaccinated and fed two meals a day. She was scared to death and did not trust anyone, poor baby. So we took our time, did not push her and named her Faith, hoping she would know she was finally safe. Slowly but surely Faith started to trust and let us into her world. She has been spayed but still needs some work on her left eye which will be done here (to stop the tearing.) Faith now goes out into our large grassy yards to run and play everyday and bark and chase and act like a normal dog! She is still very leary of new people and trust will always have to be earned with her, but we are very happy to see the progress she has made so far.

Faith needs a very special home where she can have one on one interaction with her "person". Her ideal home would be with a woman who was home with her a lot and where she would be an inside dog. Patience and lots of TLC is what she needs but she is so loving and playful when she reaches that trust with people. It is a joy to see how far she has come. If you have the heart and love to take Faith into your home please contact us.

Teddy--Adopted!

Teddy's my name, and I am considered quite a big guy! Someone gave me a coat trim a while back but it is growing in nicely now! I am only 2 years old and have not had a lot of attention before now and I sure like it! People are great, female dogs are cute and while I have not had much time in a house before, I am quick to learn and know I must ask to go outside to do my business!

I was born with what the people here call an undershot bite. All I know is that my lower teeth show when my mouth is closed....some say I have a bit of a snarly face, but I think it kinda makes me look like I'm smiling, doesn't it? Really, snarly's just not my style, I'm much more a big Teddy Bear!

I really want a home of my own, people of my own and a yard to play in. Please give me a chance, I know I can win you over!!!

And this is my tough guy image.

Here's my cheesey grin!

Adopted!

Jack

Meet Jack & Jill! The gorgeous pair of black chows was found running loose in Houston and no one came to claim them. Hard to imagine as they are such great dogs! Both are very sweet, house trained and walk well on a leash. They are not very big, probably only 35 pounds for Jill and maybe 40 for Jack. We would very much like to place them together but if the right home came along we would consider placing individually. Both are altered, HW negative, on prevention and fully vaccinated. Just waiting for the perfect home for the perfect pair of chows!

Jill

Adopted!

SnowShoe--Adopted!

This VERY special boy is called Snowshoe and he is a 2 year old cream male. Sweet, lovable, quiet, well behaved and cute as a bug.....all ways to describe SnowShoe! He is also great with female dogs, house trained, leash trained, crate trained...What more could you ask for? Snowshoe is not great big, about 45 pounds, but he has captured the hearts of all of us here at wtcr!

Floyd

Hi Ya'll, my name is Floyd and I am about 18 months old. My "other" name was Fluffy but my new friends here at WTCR thought that wasn't manly enough for a guy like me! I had heartworms but they treated me here for them and now I am just like new! They also neutered me, which I wasn't crazy about, but they didn't ask me! I like female dogs, going for walks, car rides and being with my humans. I prefer to be inside but outside is okay as long as there are things for me to do. Now I know I sound perfect, but there are a couple of things I do not like......cats look a lot like squirrels to me and I just can't resist trying to catch them. And you know, small dogs sometimes look like they might be squirrels as well. So I would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. But I am quite a handsome guy, even if I do say so myself, and a great friend and I would love to have a home and people to call "mine"!

Maggie

Meet Maggie! She is a 10 month old cream female who is still very much a puppy! Maggie is good with people, knows how to sit, loves treats and to go for walks. She would do best in a home without cats or small children and she is picky about which dogs she likes and doesn't like. Maggie needs an experienced chow home as she is a bit willful and needs some structure and boundaries but she has a lot of potential and really wants to please. Just look at that face!

Daphne--Adopted!

Hi! My name is Daphne and I am a cute little cinnamon female. I love people and other dogs and kids are fine as long as they respect me! I am house trained, love to go for walks, will ride quietly in your car and crates are a great place to take a nap. I am not very big, about 30 pounds so I do not need a lot of room to run around. And actually, I love being inside just watching what's going on!
