Dog Details

Hello! My name is Fleecy and I am a confident and friendly baby.  

I am a very smart girl and doing great with potty training. My people have me on a good schedule and I am great at “follow-the-leader” and go out to potty when the other dogs go outside. They are very helpful to get me on a good routine. I really enjoy the dogs in my foster home and am fine with dogs of all sizes and ages. I would do just fine as an only dog.

While I occasionally let out a play bark, I am a pretty quiet lady.  I have been busy meeting new people and I dig it!  I get combed and brushed daily-my foster mom says it’s important since I am going to need at least 10 minutes of daily brushing when I am all grown up. I am a good eater and am currently eating Ziwi Peak and “All Provide” food. I think both are super yummy!

My perfect home would be with people who understand my breed and are committed to my continued daily socialization, exercise and grooming needs.  I look forward to puppy classes and daily walks with my forever family. Is that you?

PLEASE READ: Chow Chows are a unique breed and have a reputation of being headstrong, independent, and strong-willed. They don’t always feel the need to be around people so training early in life is important to form a bond. Early and continued socialization and training can help discourage territorial or unwanted behavior. These dogs are not the best fit for a first-time dog parent since they require more time and work when it comes to their training. Additionally, an adopter needs to commit 10-15 minutes of DAILY brushing to maintain their coat. The coat is maintained by brushing, not shaving. To get off on the right foot, Underdog Rescue is asking adopters to collaborate on a training and socialization plan that will need to be completed BEFORE adoption so you are prepared to raise a kind-hearted and well-behaved dog.     

*I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!

**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters.  Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter.  Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized.  If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!

This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.    We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.

Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.

We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
