Chow Chow Dogs Available for Adoption in Gilbert, Arizona

Sugar is a 2-year-old Chow who recently joined us as a stray, and she's now ready to find her forever home.

She's met other dogs and seems mostly indifferent, so she may prefer to be your one-and-only--Queen of the castle 👑

Sugar is a dream to handle with excellent leash manners. She loves greeting her people and soaking up attention, then is happy to quietly observe the world around her once she's had her "hello" time.

With her beautiful coat, she'll need regular brushing--but she handled grooming like a total pro!

If you're looking for a calm, independent, and regal companion, Sugar might be your perfect match!

We do require any family interested in meeting our dogs or cats to fill out a consultation form - this form helps us determine if the dog/cat and the home are a good match, since it is so easy to fall in love with a photo, without knowing the personality of the animal. Once you have filled out the online Adoption Consultation Form, just come in and see us (or come and see us and fill out the consultation form upon arrival)!

Please note that ALL dogs and cats are available to the first home that meets the dog or cat that we feel is a good match. In order to help make the best match, we do want all family members (dogs and humans) to meet any potential new family member.

The Chow Chow, a distinctive breed known for its lion like mane and unique blue black tongue, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. These aloof yet loyal dogs are known for their independent nature, dignified demeanor, and protective instincts. Chow Chows require early socialization and training to thrive in a family setting, as they can be stubborn and territorial. With a dense double coat that requires regular grooming and a history as ancient guardians and hunting companions, the Chow Chow remains a fascinating and enigmatic breed in the canine world.
