Kavik is a striking, medium-sized Chow Chow mix with a reddish coat, about 2 years old and weighing in around 50 lbs. He’s had a rough start, spending months as a stray in Texas, where he dodged people and survived some close calls—including being hit by a car. Because of those experiences, Kavik is wary about leaving the safety of home and is especially cautious around strangers. While he needs an adopter who truly understands Chow Chows and their quirks, Kavik has a solid foundation: he’s loyal, stubborn, and deeply protective of his people. Around other dogs, he’s relaxed and sociable, preferring a confident canine companion in the home. He’s mostly indifferent to cats. Kavik is happiest resting but still enjoys bursts of playful energy with toys or four-legged friends. Given his strong flight instinct, he absolutely needs a securely fenced yard. This Chow Chow is best matched to an experienced adult home ready to invest in his trust and ongoing stability. Start your journey together! Apply now.
