About 'HARRIS'

X-URGENT - DEVORE, CA, So Cal - SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY ANIMAL CARE - ID #A85208 'HARRIS' an adorable 1 yr old, small male chow mix under 30 lbs. Rare blue color. Kenneled with an unrelated puppy. Forever home or foster and rescue needed asap at this very full kill shelter. Please note most rescues need a foster or foster to adopt home to save. Help! This dear little, young boy was found as a stray and ended up in a high kill shelter where most dogs do not have long. He has been waiting since 8/17 and is running out of time. The shelter has named him Harris and estimates he is only 1 year old and weighs 29 lbs so he may just be still growing, but was also noted as being a bit underweight and is now on extra feedings. Harris sadly appears to have been dumped, and came in understandably quite shy and scared as is so common with chows and chow mixes. However, he had an upper respiratory infection too which has since been treated. Now feeling hopefully better, he continues to warm up to staff. The shelter provided us with Behavior and medical Notes and most recently state. 9/22/26 - Dog is fearful. With treats and gentle coaxing, dog comes forward and solicits attention. Dog was able to be leashed and walked around facility. Dog is fearful of male staff members and attempts to run away when staff slows down and coaxes dog, dog will go over and start sniffing. Male staff was able to pet and leash walk dog. Dog also climbed into the lap of a male staff member. 9/23/26 - Dog was paired with a young hyper puppy. Dog is tolerating puppy and giving appropriate corrections. If a fight occurs attempts to repair with calmer dog suggested. Dog has solicited attention from other dogs in kennels. Medical Notes: 09/23/26 Noted dog is slightly underweight w/ BCS of 4/9. Placing dog on BID feedings and weekly weight checks. However, the shelter noted that 'During his time at the shelter his behavior has improved drastically and has allowed staff to weigh him.' We are therefore now desperately looking for an adopter or foster and a rescue (please note rescue groups NEED fosters) to save this dog in time. His listing link is: https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/SBCO1/A852086 Since rescue groups likely need a foster to save, if you are interested in fostering, please contact [email protected] asap or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network who is trying to assist the shelter with their placement, and we can try to pair you with a rescue to help.
