Hi, I’m Jasper, a very sweet 7-year-old Pitbull-mix who hasn’t had it easy. I was found abandoned in a field, in need of medical care. I’ve had two surgeries, including the removal of an eye, and I’ve recovered from pneumonia. After all that, I still soldier on with a smile on my face. I need a home with no other dogs, and it’s unknown if I’m good with children or cats. I hope someone will see what a special guy I am and take me home soon. If you’re not ready to adopt, I wouldn’t mind being in a foster home.
Hi, I’m Smokey, a handsome 6-year-old chow in need of a new home. My training is impeccable—I don’t try to rush out of the gate, and I sit and stay until given a command. I can pull a little bit on the leash, so I will need some work on my walking manners. I need a home with no small children, though older children who know how to be respectful may be OK. I must be the only dog in the home and will need an experienced owner who is knowledgeable about chows. It’s unknown how I’d do with cats.
Hi, I’m Nellie, an affectionate and loving chow who loves to play with my three foster siblings. I still have my sassy chow moments, but I am learning and growing into an amazing dog. I will need continued socialization and structure to maintain my confidence and overcome my shyness and nervousness. The more I learn and trust, the less nervous I am. I currently live with three other dogs, and we get along. I am both crate-trained at night and potty-trained. I love long walks, and I’ve been doing well with a gentle leader, but I still have some room for improvement.
