About Panda

Meet Panda! This gentle 7-year-old Chow Chow has been thriving in foster care and is ready to find a patient and understanding home. Initially shy, he may take some time to warm up, but his loyal and affectionate nature shines once he knows you are his person. He enjoys following you from room to room, seeking affection, and really appreciates a good butt scratch. When guests arrive, he’s alert but settles down quickly afterward. Panda would do best in a calm home, ideally with an older or low-energy adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace. Although he has done fine around a young child, he would be happiest with older kids who understand how to respect his space; he can react out of fear when startled. Panda enjoys the company of other dogs and actually thrives best with them, especially when left home alone. In foster care, he’s relaxed, house-trained, and has had no accidents. He's also a polite walking buddy on a leash, rarely pulling. This quirky guy isn't into toys, but he loves observing the neighborhood and being near his trusted humans. He sleeps happily on his dog bed but wouldn't mind sharing yours! Panda requires ongoing medical care, including future dental work, treatment for chronic ear infections, and regular grooming for his thick coat. If you seek a devoted companion who offers unwavering loyalty and quiet company, this special boy could be your ideal match. Ready to meet him?
