Snuggles - Chow Chow and Shar Pei Dog for Adoption in Hillside, Illinois

Are you looking for a snuggle friend? Well look no further! Snuggles is here to full fill all your snuggle needs!

Originally adopted from us in 2015 Snuggles was found as a stray in the western suburbs by the police dept. When her microchip was scanned and the owners contacted they said they did not want poor Snuggles back. According to the owners, Snuggles was the victim of their divorce and was no longer wanted. Neither party wanted the dog back - their dog of 10 years. We are sad for Snuggles as none of this was her fault. Unfortunately, this is a sad story we hear over and over again and a top reason why so many dogs are sitting in shelters across the country.

Thankfully we were contacted and asked if we would take Snuggles back since she was originally one of ours and we of course said yes! Once a Magnificent Mutt - always a Magnificent Mutt!

Snuggles is 10 years young and approx 50lbs. Since she just arrived we are still getting to know her but she is a very sweet girl. More info about her likes and dislikes will be updated once her foster gets to know her better - so check back soon!

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.

The Shar Pei is a distinctive breed known for their deep wrinkles and blue black tongue. Originally from China, these medium sized dogs are loyal, independent, and protective of their families. Shar Peis have a unique appearance with a hippopotamus like face and a broad, padded muzzle. Their coat can be either horse coat or brush coat, coming in a variety of colors. While they can be aloof with strangers, Shar Peis are devoted companions with a calm demeanor, making them wonderful family pets.
