🚨NAMELESS CHOW SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA 11/12 AT 1PM!🚨
PLEASE SHARE EVERYWHERE!
This young Chow Chow boy needs a rescue hold by Thursday 11/12 at 1PM CST or he will be euthanized. There will be NO extensions. He is rescue only and urgently needs a committed local foster & pledges for a rescue to save him.
This boy is terrified in the shelter. Volunteers found him shaking in his kennel, and he has extensive matting underneath his coat that is likely causing him significant discomfort. Despite his fear, he allowed a volunteer to leash him and take him outside without giving her any trouble.
Shelter staff have also seen just how frightened he is. He often retreats into the corner of his kennel, flinches during handling, and has sometimes cowered, backed away or growled when someone approaches with a leash. He has been successfully leashed and walked outside, but he needs someone who understands that fear can make even ordinary interactions overwhelming. He will need patience, a quiet environment, and time to build trust without being pushed beyond his comfort level.
He also has a concerning medical issue. Staff found an abrasion and scabbing in his left armpit, along with hair loss, skin thickening, and pigmentation changes. A possible tumor was considered, and surgical removal with a biopsy was recommended. He is heartworm negative, but needs veterinary evaluation for this area and relief from the painful matting in his coat.
This boy has been through enough. He needs a rescue willing to give him the time and care to feel safe again, and a local foster who can provide a calm place to begin that journey.
