About ROCKY

4/15 deadline!!!! CODE RED AT MESA, AZ (nr PHOENIX) - ID #A5162507-'ROCKY'- HANDSOME, YOUNGER CHOW AT MARICOPA COUNTY ANIMAL CARE, EAST LOCATION- RESCUE ONLY (NHO) - MUST SEE VIDEOS! NEEDS FOSTER AND RESCUE ASAP-RESCUES CANNOT HELP WITHOUT A FOSTER AND PLACE FOR A DOG TO GO! SHY AT SHELTER SO MADE RESCUE ONLY! NOW ON DEADLINE FOR 4/15 TO COMMIT OR 'May be at risk for euthanasia 4/16/26 or sooner if warranted' per shelter. THUS, HE WILL LIKELY BE EUTHANIZED 4/16 in AM. HE IS 'RESCUE ONLY' BY A 'NEW HOPE PARTNER ONLY' which means he can NOT be adopted from the shelter directly, and a New Hope partner must pull him out. Emergency/soon to be euthanized! We are in urgent need of finding a chow savvy foster, or at least a foster familiar with chows or similar Asian or spitz breeds. 'ROCKY' is a stunning cream male chow weighing only 46 lbs and estimated to be only 3 years old. He was found as a stray and may be related to the female cream chow also found as a stray a day later (who is also shy and Rescue only and in similar condition). Sadly, because Rocky has been a little shy as is so common for the breed, the shelter made him Rescue Only and put him on a short deadline of 4/12, despite him warming up. In fact, shelter notes say he was easily leashed and allowed petting. We just received videos we will post on Facebook. Additional behavior and medical details may be found on this link: https://apps.pets.maricopa.gov/priority/Details/OTI5-MjUx-MjZB. Rocky may also have entropion or an eye infection which a rescue may assist with necessary medical. We are urgently looking for ideally a foster or foster-to-adopt for Rocky, and chow, Asian and or spitz breed experience recommended. This shelter has made many chow and chow mixes Rescue only, and already killed many who were also shy and young adults. Please do not let this young boy meet the same awful fate. If you may be interested in fostering, fostering to adopt, or helping in some other way (ie., pledging for his rescue), please email: [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/ and https://azfosters.com/ so all entities can work on pairing a foster to a rescue group to help. Rescues can assist with neuter and medical. Rescue groups may contact the shelter directly at: [email protected] and by calling 602-506-7387 and providing ID.
