About Sunny

Meet Sunny! He is a 7 month old playful chow mix pup. Sunny loves other dogs and playing with them. We would love for him to go to a home with another playful dog. A fenced in yard is required. Sunny was rescued from the shelter when he was scheduled to be euthanized due to shelter overcrowding. He is very shy around new people. The other dogs in his foster home are showing him he has nothing to be afraid of. Patience and time are needed for Sunny to settle into a new home. Sunny is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, on flea prevention. He is housetrained and has improved in his foster home. If Sunny sounds like a match for you, please submit an application on him by going to our website www.chowsplus.org

About Chow Chow Dogs

Chow Chows are dignified, independent dogs known for their lion-like mane, blue-black tongue, and aloof personality. One of the most ancient breeds, they originated in China where they served as temple guards, hunters, and sled pullers. Their thick double coat gives them a teddy bear appearance.

Adopting a Chow Chow means welcoming a loyal, one-person dog who is deeply devoted to their chosen human. They are clean, quiet, and well-mannered in the home. Their independent nature means they appreciate an owner who respects their space while providing gentle, consistent guidance.
