🥣 Chowder (Male)

Chowder may have had a rough start, but you’d never know it by the way he lives life now — big, bold, and full of joy.

Saved from neglect and left out in the freezing cold at just five weeks old, Chowder came to KC PAWS in heartbreaking condition. Undernourished, chilled, and in desperate need of care, he was one of the tiny fighters who showed us just how resilient puppies can be.

Today, Chowder is thriving.

He’s the life of the party — a high-energy boy who loves to wrestle with his sisters, zoom around the yard, and then crash hard for puppy naps. He’s incredibly affectionate and seeks out his humans for snuggles after playtime. Chowder would do best in a home ready for all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with an active puppy.

If you’re looking for a playful, loving sidekick who will keep you laughing and on your toes — Chowder is your guy.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic.
