Courtesy Posting: X URGENT at PHOENIX, AZ- ID #A5151895 - MARICOPA COUNTY ANIMAL CARE (WEST VALLEY) - ADORABLE, PETITE YOUNG 2 YR, 42 lb FEMALE CHOW 'GINGER SPICE'- ADOPTABLE, BUT MAY NEED RESCUE AND THUS ALSO A FOSTER TO SAVE HER LIFE! SHELTER IS FULL and puts many chow and chow mixes on their euth list suddenly. Please help us find a good home or foster and rescue for this adorable, little young girl who was found as stray with a similar looking friend (possibly her sibling) who also needs a good home or foster and rescue. A finder saw both dogs running in the street and were able to lure them to their home overnight. The finder reported both dogs allowed petting and handling and appeared to be very friendly towards one another. They were brought to the Maricopa shelter in hopes of being reunited with their owner, but no one sadly showed up. Both dogs are kenneled together and are adoptable, either separately or together. This girl has been fondly named Ginger Spice due to her beautiful coloring. Her friend has a lighter blonde coat and has been named Cubby, and we have a separate post up for her as well. At only 42 lbs, Ginger Spice is perfectly sized, along with her friend, and both are estimated to be only 2 years old. Additionally, the dogs have wonderful behavior notes at the shelter, and Ginger Spice is noted as '09/30/2025 Once separated from kennel mate, dog approached handler with soft body and wagging tail, front paws on door, took treats. Heady shy and backed away when presented with leash but would return to front of kennel, after a few attempts able to place leash with large loop. Dog exited kennel, easy walk to yard, showed no interest in kenneled dogs. In yard dog explored with kennel mate, nose to ground, tail high, body neutral, after a moment approached handlers, would initially mouth hands when attempting to pet but eventually settled and allowed petting all over, soft body and wagging tail. Took treats gently. Able to pick up leash, dog allowed handler to sift through coat to lift up leash stopper, easy walk back to kennel, able to guide dog in with gentle leash pressure, attempted to push out while removing leash, allowed handler to remove leash by hand.' A full copy of both behavior and medical notes can be found here: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/adoptPets/Home/Details/A5151895 (Ginger Spice) https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/adoptPets/Home/Details/A5151899 (Cubby) If you may be interested in adopting one or both, please contact the shelter immediately and directly at (602) 506-7387, ask for her/them by ID. Adoptions are currently only $50 currently. This includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip.

We will try to pair fosters or interested parties with a rescue group. Rescue groups may contact the shelter directly at [email protected] and by calling 602-506-7387 and providing the ID.
