About Rizzy

Meet Rizzy, a delightful young Chow Chow who is all about gentle companionship. At just 1 year old and 44 pounds, she combines a sweet nature with a calm demeanor. This lovely girl takes her time warming up to new friends, often preferring quieter interactions at first. However, once she knows you're on her side, she leans in for neck scratches and showers you with affection. Rizzy has great house manners and is already house trained. She’s curious about other dogs and enjoys their company, making her a suitable companion for existing pets. While she may bark initially at unfamiliar faces, her caring personality shines through once she feels at ease. Currently, she’s excelling in her leash training, gaining confidence with each walk. Rizzy seeks a loving family who understands the special bond that Chows form—one built on trust and patience. Rizzy is being fostered in Longview, TX, and while she can be transported, it may incur additional costs. If you think you can offer her the home she deserves, now is the time to apply and make a difference in her life!
