About 'WEEKND'

Courtesy Posting: EMERGENCY - Owner became homeless- PHOENIX (TEMPE), AZ - APPROX 6 YR MALE PUREBRED CHOW (fur was recently cut) 'WEEKND' IN NEED OF A NEW HOME ASAP, CANNOT TAKE CARE OF HIM ANY LONGER, MAY BE SHELTER BOUND Please help us find a loving, responsible home for handsome the Weeknd. This handsome chow once shined bright like a star and had a luxurious full coat when he was adopted and saved a few years ago from the Maricopa shelter. Since then, his owner fell on hard times, and said, 'I am homeless and want a better life for Weeknd.' She describes the Weeknd as 'very happy and loving with his owner', but living without a home is no life for him. Like many chows, he can take a while to warm up to new people, so a chow savvy home is requested. Now approximately 6 years young, he enjoys running and playing with squeaky toys. He has lived an an indoor dog and never had an accident per the owner. The Weeknd also lived with an older female chow who he would play with and even tire her out (she has already been placed in a new home though). He also loved to run in the park with a male pitbull he made friends with, but does not care for tiny dogs or cats. The owner also let us know that when she originally got him, she pulled a bone and food from him, and he did nip at her on two occasions. Since then, she lets him eat by himself and has not had further issues like this. However, we feel he would benefit from some training for resource guarding of food and high value treats, and is thus recommended to an adult only home right now. The Weeknd is neutered, vaccinated, and has no reported medical issues. His full coat should grow back shortly. If you are interested in applying for The Weeknd, please contact [email protected] or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network who is assisting with his placement. Chow experience is preferred. Sorry, we do not do transport to private homes except in extenuating circumstances, and unless a rescue is involved due to risks of a home or dog not working out for any reason. All adopters will be asked for a home check (which may be virtual), an application, a vet reference and an adoption contract. We will be posting more pictures and videos of The Weeknd on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/debbie.alder.14/posts/pfbid0DpJ9hCScyEoU5zFzUxs9WmCdFTJV6G1TRpScsgaRRL2YUq8paC86XpHMbbv7JwFPl Note: to view contents of link you will need to copy and paste it into your browser.
