About Elvis Chowsley aka Kodak

Meet Elvis Chowsley, also known as Kodak. This charming, 2-year-old Chow Chow is settling into his new routine and showing off a gentle, calm demeanor. Despite his 46-pound frame, he tends to be very quiet—his foster barely hears him bark! Elvis is affectionate and has recently begun to showcase his playful side as he grows more comfortable in his surroundings. Elvis is friendly with dogs of all sizes, and he plays gently with smaller ones, so having a canine companion would be ideal for him. He is crate trained and often opts for his crate during the day or night. While he has had positive interactions with children aged 4 and 9, he would thrive best in a home with older, respectful kids due to his sensitivity to sudden movements and noise. He’s still learning the ropes; Elvis walks reasonably well on a leash but can get tangled if startled. He signals when he needs to go outside and keeps his crate clean, although he’s working on some occasional indoor marking. Elvis needs a calm, predictable home where he can build his confidence at his own pace. He has shown no defensive behavior in his foster home, proving himself a kind-hearted companion. Elvis Chowsley is being fostered near Oklahoma City, OK, and transport can be arranged for an adoption fee ranging from $200-400. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
