Chow Puppy Found

[anna_66]

Ok, I need some help here.

This morning a girl I work with called me & said there was a chow puppy that someone had dumped at her brothers house. She thought it had been there for about 3 days. So me & Ashley went out there, we couldn't even get withing 15-20 ft of it without it getting up and moving away from us. We got in the car & tried to get closer & it ran across the street. The neighbor said it had been there about a week, but noone had been around to look for it, & noone could catch it.
Ashley tried to get a little closer again, but it ran back across the street (it's a fairly busy street too). One of the other neighbors gave Ashley a couple of treats and presto! It finally let her get close enough to get ahold of it. She did really well on the ride home.
Well, now the hard part, the introduction to Angus & Roxey. We just brought them out in the front yard, so they could see her, & of course Angus wanted to charge her:eek: Roxey, all she wanted to do was play, and this scared the poor little girl. She is very submissive and timid, but wags her tail when we talk baby talk to her. Finally tonight after smelling each other through the screen we let them all in together. As long as she's not running around or anything, it all goes pretty well. But of course Roxey keeps wanting to play which makes Angus get riled up. They are all laying here being good right now.
Now, I'm not sure if we will be able to keep her or not, it really depends on how Angus & Roxey act towards her, so I was wondering if you all know anyone who would want her. She seems to have a very good temperment so far, and wants to follow us around. Seems like she like me & Ash a little better than Mark, but maybe it's just the baby talk! She still has a little puppy breath (so sweet!), so I'm not quite sure how old she is...maybe 4 months or so:confused:
I won't take her to the shelter, she'd probably just be put to sleep, so just in case we're not able to keep her, does anyone know any no kill shelters in Ohio or close to here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here is a couple pics of her (she looks actually bigger than she is-it's mostly fur!):

P.S. Is there anything I should do concerning any diseases? I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep her so I don't really want to spend a ton of $$ on her. Does that sound horrible? I don't mean it to. Please help!

What a sweet face!

First I'd check her for fleas/ticks, (is her fur badly matted underneath?) maybe give her a bath and a flea collar, quick trip to the vet if you can ...

What a face! Bet she's half that size wet ...

I'd of course check with all the local shelters/vets/animal control, see if anyone is missing a chow pup ... just in case she belongs to someone but got loose/lost ...

What a sweet face!

[sasvermont]

I am not so sure she is pure Chow. I am not that familiar with the breed, but to me, she looks like she is mixed with something else. Not that mixed is bad, by any means. It may play to her favor as Chows have a bad reputation, although I don't know if what they say about them is true. Much like the rap they give Pit Bulls.

Anyway, I am sorry I cannot help you. I am not that close to Ohio. I bet someone would love to have her. I wonder if she is a runaway? Seems as though she must have been taken care of somewhat, if she's in good shape.

What a sweet face she has. And lots of fur.

Keep us posted!

You are a sweetheart for taking care of her. :cool:

OH
MY
GOD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

************drool****************

I know someone who would take her in a heartbeat. He volunteers at the shelter and has 3 big gorgeous rescued Chows. They're looking for a female to add to their crew.

There's a Wellness Clinic in my town that is half the price of normal vets. Do you have anything like that? She should be health checked and given her shots. I would opt for Advantage, Revolution, or Front Line over a flea collar. I've heard of animals having such bad reactions to those, they had to be put to sleep.

If you can't keep her, let me know. I will mention it to the guy I know and see if he's willing to have her transported out here somehow.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

I havn't know too many chows but her face looks so much like a lion!!!.... She looks real happy I bet she was having a blast getting to play with you and Ashley... hope you can find her a home ... she looks very cute and sweet!! What are yall calling her have yall given her a name?!?!? :)

[Aspen and Misty]

If that were my dog, lol, I would shave it to look like a lion. We You know so there is short fur except for around her head and the little fur on her tail. But I am just crazy like that. We saw one on emergency vets that was shaved like that, he was so cool looking! My god that face, I'm in love, but would never own a chow, had a bad experience with a chow. But still, I can't get over that face!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Anna, What a doll you and Ashley have rescued! She is adorable! Have you given her a name yet?

Call shelters, animal control, rescue groups, and vets in your area to see if anyone has reported her missing. Make signs and put them up at the vets and groomers in your area about finding her a home.

I would suggest you take her to the vet and get her parvo/distember shot and rabies shot. Be sure she is tick and fle free. You do not want Roxey and Angus getting fleas and brining them home.

Hope things work out for this lil one. Keep us posted!

[pupper-lover]

Wow, what a beautiful dog. She is so lucky to have had you rescue her. I hope you find a great home for that baby:) . Good luck.

[TopSpoT]

She looks pure to me. Have you contacted Chow Rescue? Please contact Chow Chows to the Rescue

Good luck and let us know!

[lovemymaltese]

Bless his little heart, what a sweet face.

[anna_66]

Well so far so good! We are calling her Huney (weird way to spell it hu?!). It's just the color of her face that made me want to call her that. She cried last night when I put her in the kennel to sleep, so I got up and let her out...nothing. I put her back in for 15 min, and she cried again. I kept trying this, but to no avail. So finally I got up, slept on the couch with Angus & Roxey laying beside me on the floor, and she finally went to sleep in the kitchen on the lineloium (spelling?). At first after being out, she still wanted to cry, guess she still didn't know what to do.
But I did get about 3 hrs of sleep alltogether. I have to go to work, so Ashley is going to keep an eye on her and our dogs. Maybe let them be together a little at a time outside. All 3 together isn't the best thing right now, it really scares her. But as long as they are all in the house together, it's not so bad. Thanks for some of the tips, and I'm still not sure about keeping her (but she is such a huney pie!! I'll keep you updated.
Aly, if it is a possibility and the guy you know wants to transport her I would be very willing to. Sounds like he would be the perfect person for her! Keep me updated on this, ok? Bye!
Anna

[mugsy]

Anna, I would also put an ad in the paper for a found dog before I gave her away. We always keep ours for a week before doing anything, in case an owner shows up.

She sure would be tempting to keep though, she's a beauty!!

Good luck and keep us posted on pretty little Huney!

[Sam's My Baby]

What an adorable face! Bless you for rescuing her! I hope u can find a good home for her, she is so adorable!:)

[Dixieland Dancer]

SHE IS ADORABLE!!!! :D Perhaps if you decide to keep her, she could be your neices dog! Just a suggestion. ;)

[Sudilar]

Anna, you and Ashley were wonderful in going out of your way to save the pup from the streets and a possible horrible fate!! Thank you for being so caring.

She is absolutely gorgeous!! I've always thought that Chow Chows were a beautiful breed! Good luck in your search for a home.

Oh, don't think she hasn't already tried that!;)
What a good dog Huney is! Last night we just let all 3 of them roam the house, and guess what? All was A-OK this morning, they were laying in the kitchen & livingroom when I got up! No messes in the floor or anything! I didn't know what else to do because Thursday night she wouldn't sleep in the crate and cried every time I put her in it. I tried to post yesterday, but they were all playing around the computer and somehow I deleated my whole post, Oh well!
So far noone has come to claim her, or told anyone in the neighborhood she was missing. We took her to the vet yesterday, all she had was a mild case of giaradia, no fleas (yipee!). He said she seemed in good condition, and he thought because of a little of tartar buildup on her teeth, that she may be around-about 1 yr. I really thought she seemed younger. And they told me there also that they were glad we rescued her, because the shelter considers them un-adoptible dogs. I told Mark that & he said he can't even see why, she would be such a great dog for someone! Still not sure if we will keep her. Mark really likes her, but I don't want to push the subject just right yet;) He might have a soft spot for her in his heart (ok, he already has one, but I'm not sure if he will want to keep her though). Well, of course, here are some more pics, Enjoy!

Doggy pictures boring? No way! I don't think I'm alone here, when I say there is no possible way for us to get bored with cute pupper pics! Huney is so cute! She looks so happy to be at your house. She definately has that "Thank you for saving me" look in her eyes. It is so sweet. My Addie, after a year and a half in my home, still gives me that look.

You have some preciuos babies there:D . Keep posting those cute pics.

[Cincy'sMom]

What a sweetie!!! I just don't understand how such great dogs end up on the street. All the ones I know who friends have adopted have be the most appreciative, loving dogs. I am sure they know they were saved. Regardless of whether you keep her, or find her a good home, I think she she will be true to that too.

And doggie pictures are never boring!!!!

[ramanth]

Doggy pictures boring!? Never!

Huney is SOOOO cute! For some reason I was having problems seeing the pictures and wanted to see them before commenting.

You are a sweetie for taking her in. :)

[pupper-lover]

Just wondering . . .

Anna 66, I've noticed you have added Huney to your banner sig and by your name. Does this mean your having more thoughts about keeping her? She looks like a sweetie.:D

I was going to ask the same thing. She definitely looks like a keeper to me. :)

[ramanth]

I was wondering the same thing too... ;)

[anna_66]

Yes Yes and Yes Again! She's ours now! I'm posting in Dog General right now! You all really pay attention to things!

[pupper-lover]

Yeah!!! :D :D :D :) :p

Sweet Huney has a permanent home. Have fun with pup #3. Was it you that said, just a few short weeks ago, that two dogs was plenty? ;) (It may have been someone else.)

[anna_66]

Yep, I think that was me who said that:p Guess there's always room for one more:D

[mugsy]

Thanks Anna for opening your heart and home to this adorable pooch.

[wolf_Q]

I tend to stick around the dog general section, so I guess I'm missing some important posts! I found this after I read the post in dog general. Huney is just adorable, and I'm so glad you are keeping her! It's great that you could rescue that sweetheart! I'm sure Angus and Roxey will still be letting her know who is boss for quite a while, but eventually they'll have to let their guard down a bit. ;)

[toastco]

Oh, I'm so glad you are going to keep Her!! If you remember you and I talked because I rescued the Rottweiler (Corrie). I thought I didn't have room for anymore but I've never been sorry that I kept Corrie. Huney is just beautiful and It looks like she is getting along real well with Angus and Roxey. I love the pictures and I of course love to see Angus over and over because I love Rotweilers. :) Mom of Corrie, Lady and Toastco as well as my six kitties.

[anna_66]

I'm glad we're keeping her too! I already love her very much, and it's only been a week!

[mugsy]

Isn't it amazing how quickly they steal your heart?? I'm glad Huney is with loving parents now. She really looks sweet.

[anna_66]

Thanks:D :D :D

[Rachel]

I saw Huney in your signature and the posts in the Dog General section so had to do a search until I found how you happened to come by Huney. What good fortune. I know others have said it before and believe me they weren't just being polite, Huney is darling, charming, beautiful and captivating. I saw a black chow in PetsMart today and it seemed to be an equally wonderful dog.
I don't know what it is about that black tongue and those happy eyes but I am drawn to them like a magnet. I am so glad all the doggers are adjusting well to each other. In the pictures they really seem to be enjoying one anothers company. What a happy happy story Anna. I am thrilled for you and especially thrilled for Huney. Keep those pictures coming.

[Dogncatgirl]

If anyone out there truly wants to help yet another needy Chow, I am a vet in Jersey City, NJ. At the liberty shelter in Jersey City there are a young adult Chow and also a 4-5 month old Chow for adoption. The Assisi Center in Jersey City has a gorgeous young adult blonde Chow for adoption. If anyone can help, let me know and I can email you their pics and contact info.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I think she is all of the above and more!

I agree with the black tongues, I just love them!



Wish I knew of someone to help with the Chows you have. Sorry.

[shais_mom]

I too just found this thread only b/c I saw Anna's post in Dog General and she so kindly sent me the link!!
She is gorgeous!! I just love her!!! You are so lucky to have all the canine love going on in your home !!!;)
I am so glad the 'kidz' are letting her settle in so nicely!!

[lovemymaltese]

How's Huney doing?

[anna_66]

She's doing great! I have a few more pics of her in Dog General if you want to see her.
