After his previous family faced health challenges and housing loss, he arrived in rough shape, with severe matting so significant that cockleburs, sticks, and even bones had become tangled in his fur. A professional groomer helped develop the best plan, and Hoshi was shaved down for his comfort and health. Now, he's on a weight loss journey—currently at 95 lbs, he’s aiming to shed around 10 more pounds with daily walks, thoughtful feedings, and portion control. This sweet Chow Chow is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and also tested negative for Parvo, Giardia, and Coccidia. He's neutered, microchipped, housebroken, and crate trained. Hoshi enjoys attention, prefers chew sticks and nylabones over toys, and keeps close to his human. Though his luxurious long coat is growing back, regular brushing not only aids his recovery but also strengthens your bond with him. Hoshi walks well on a leash and gets along nicely with cats, children, and even chickens, ducks, and geese. He’s also generally good with dogs he meets, though some are unsure about him at first. A loving companion, Hoshi is ready for the comfort of a forever home where his gentle, affectionate spirit will thrive. (Fun fact: with an April 1st birthday, his Aries sun sign means he's likely courageous and energetic!) They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
