Courtesy Posting: URGENT AT PHOENIX, AZ - ID # A5153651 -'AMINA' AT MARICOPA COUNTY ANIMAL CARE, WEST LOCATION- ADOPTABLE 1 YR, 36 LB FEMALE CHOW WHO SEEMS TO HAVE RECENTLY HAD PUPPIES - NEEDS LOVING FOREVER HOME OR FOSTER AND RESCUE We are in urgent need of finding a responsible forever home or foster for dear 'AMINA' who looks like she recently had puppies yet is very thin and underweight. She is said to be 36 lbs and just over 1 year old. She was surrendered with a male chow friend named Maylo is very urgent and on the euthanasia list because he was shy with shelter staff. Owner surrender notes give the excuse that she could not keep the dogs due to her housing situation, and further state, 'THE TWO CHOW CHOWS BEING SURRENDERED TO THE SHELTER TODAY AND THEY ALSO LIVE WITH AN AKITA. OWNER STATES THAT ALL DOGS GET ALONG VERY WELL TOGETHER, EXCEPT FOR WHEN THEY EAT, THEY MUST BE FED SEPERATE. OWNER STATES THAT SHE TAKES BOTH DOGS TO THE PLAY YARD AND THEY GET ALONG WELL WITH OTHER DOGS. THE MALE DOG IS VERY PLAYFUL, WHILE THE FEMALE DOG IS A LITTLE MORE STANDOFFISH. OWNER STATES THAT THE FEMALE DOG MAY BE MORE PRONE TO HAVE DOG TO DOG AGGRESSION DUE TO HER BEHAVIOR OF BEING A LITTLE STANDOFFISH, BUT THE MALE DOG IS FINE.' They are recommended for 'ADULTS ONLY, NO SMALL KIDS. OWNER HAS NEVER HAD THESE DOGS AROUND ANY SMALL CHILDREN, SO SHE IS NOT AWARE OF WHAT THEIR BEHAVIOR WOULD BE AROUND KIDS. OWNER STATES THAT BOTH DOGS INITIALLY BARKS AT STRANGERS, BUT THEN THEY SETTLE DOWN AND CAN BE EASILY RE-DIRECTED.' She further stated they have not shown aggression to people and were inside dogs who are potty trained. Additional behavior and medical details may be found on this link: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/adoptPets/Home/Details/A5153651 A volunteer also met AMINA and provided us wonderful videos also showing she takes treats gently. Amina is currently adoptable, but may also be soon at risk like Maylo is. Since she is not Rescue only, you may contact the shelter directly for her. Adoptions are currently only $50 currently. This includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip. We are ALSO looking separately and ideally for a foster or foster to adopt Maylo who has some chow, Asian or spitz breed experience. If you may be interested in adopting Amina, or fostering, 602-506-7387email: [email protected] asap at Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network who is trying to find placement asap, AND also fill out a foster application on https://dogfoster.org/ so both entities can work on pairing a foster to a rescue group to help.
