CONCORD, CA (N CAL)- GORGEOUS AKC CREAM CHOW GIRL ANNABELLA, “BELLA” for short, IN NEED OF LOVING, RESPONSIBLE HOME (MAY BE ADOPTED SEPARATELY, or TOGETHER W/ MALE SIBLING), CHOW EXPERIENCE PREFERRED- PEOPLE AND DOG FRIENDLY. No cats or small critters

Please help us find a loving, responsible home for Annabella, (cream) a purebred chow now about 4.5 years old. Her brother, Beauregard (a deep red chow) is also available. While ideally we would love to see them in a home together, we know how hard it can be to find a home able to take both, and due to the urgency, we are looking for individual homes too.

Bella and Beau for short were born 6/21/20 and adopted as young puppies. Their owner originally intended to breed, but due to Bella having entropion which she has already had corrected with surgery, Beau was since fixed, and Bella will be fixed too as a condition of the adoption so she cannot be bred. There are also cats in the home that Bella does not like, and while the owners have tried to keep separated, there was a more recent incident where she unfortunately got a kitty. Therefore, the owners want both dogs rehomed asap.

Please no negative comments as the focus is on finding them better homes.
Both dogs now live with smaller dogs in the home, and have also gotten along with dogs at parks. However, please note that Bella has an increased prey drive towards cats, so no little critters please. They have also lived indoors and are potty trained. Both dogs are current on vaccinations, and chipped.

Of the two dogs, Bella is more aloof and should go to a home that is ideally chow savvy. According to her owner, “she has shown no aggression towards humans even though she is aloof. She likes to be outside but on the couch when indoors.“
The owner reports Beau is more submissive and easy going and affectionate. According to his owner, “he prefers to be indoors and on the floor near his people. In contact with a foot if possible.”

They have no medical issues reported other than Bella already had surgery (eye lid lift) for her entropion, and Beau “was born with cloudy eyes. This was diagnosed at US Davis small animal eye hospital. They are not cataracts and he can see but it was described like he sees through a dirty window.”

If you are interested in applying for either dog, please contact robinmorgan@cox.net or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network asap who is assisting with their placement. Chow experience and references are preferred.

We will be posting more pictures and videos of Bella on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/783968124/posts/10166661654648125/?mibextid=wwXIfr
