Hello, my name is Furball and coincidentally that is what I am! I attract attention wherever I go because I am the fluffiest puppy! I have met so many new people and love “lap hopping” – that means I go from one person to another to get some snuggles. It is great for me to be exposed to different people, smells and places.
I am a very smart and outgoing puppy. I love to play with the other dogs in my foster home and my people. My people are awesome, I love to follow them around and keep track of what they are doing.
My hobbies include chewing on things – hee hee! I love to chew on bones, playing tug a war, squeaky toys and soft toys. Typical of a puppy, sometimes I chew on things I’m not supposed to, but am easily redirected. I also love my naps – snoozing on the floor in a cool spot is my jam.
Training is going great and I am a very smart boy! I learned how to go up the stairs but haven’t quiet mastered going down. I have little legs so I have a lot of hopping to do! We are doing great getting on a potty routine and I am sleeping in the crate at night.
I am so excited to meet my forever family and go on adventures! Can't wait to meet 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.
