Meet Ren: Fetch Champion, Squirrel Patrol Captain & Loyal Best Friend!

Ren is a fox-faced toy lover who believes every day should include fetch, squirrel patrol, and a cozy nap afterward. This playful Shiba Inu-Chow mix is happiest when she's spending time with her people. If you want a fun companion who will keep you smiling, Ren may be your girl.

Ren is the kind of dog who makes a house feel more alive, and then peacefully settles in right beside you, which is awesome!

Like many Shiba and Chow mixes, Ren is a smart, spirited dog who thrives with people who enjoy interactive play and giving a clever dog positive outlets for her energy.

Ren has the adorable "Doge Coin dog" look (google it) and a personality to match.

Playtime is her favorite time.

Ren loves toys and happily plays fetch and tug-of-war with her humans. She's the kind of dog who will proudly bring you a toy and invite you to join the fun.

She enjoys the outdoors.

Ren loves watching the world, chasing squirrels and rabbits, and running along the fence line with the neighbor dogs. Because of her curiosity and prey drive, she does best with supervised outdoor time and a secure yard (she may try to dig if wildlife gets interesting!).

Great house manners.

Inside the home, Ren settles down beautifully and enjoys cozy naps on her dog bed near her people.

Smart and motivated.

Ren is very intelligent and responds well to treats and positive interaction. With the right person, she'll thrive learning routines and new tricks.

If you're looking for a playful companion with personality and charm, Ren may be the dog who steals your heart.

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.
