He came in as an owner surrender on 3/16/24 (no reason given) and weighs 59 lb and is estimated to be 8 years young with a gorgeous cream coat. It is believed he may have lived his entire life with his previous owner. He has no medical issues reported. Per the shelter: 'Baymax A4952635 male neutered chow chow. He is an owner surrender. He got along with a male German Shepherd and cats. There were two toddlers at home. He knows sit, shake, turn and down. He tugs and pulls on the leash. He lived indoors with access to a doggy door. He barked at strangers. He takes towels and clothes outside but he does not tear them.' Some of his shelter notes state: 'Pup was on the outside portion of kennel laying down when handler approached. Didn't come forward when handler called over so divider was closed and met with pup on outside. Pup was by divider when handler approached. When handler called pup over kneeled down pup slowly moved towards handler but stopped in middle of kennel. Handler was able to open kennel door and leash with no issues. Pup walked with medium pull to yard, very zig, zag, jumpy due to dogs barking. In play yard pup would avoid handler but stayed close. Pup would follow handler but retreat when handler would turn around. Handler was able to leash and walked pup back to kennel. Pup had same medium pull to kennel, still jumpy with barking dogs.
