My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Chow
DOB: 9/2016
Gender: female
Altered: yes
Coat: long
Size: medium
Color(s): red/blond
Description:
Hi, I'm Paca, a shy, sweet Chow that was rescued after my owner passed away. My house sold quickly and was gated up. It's unknown if I escaped and couldn't be caught or someone turned me loose to fend for myself. Either way I was out on my own for two months in very hot weather. Thankfully someone down the street noticed me on my own and started giving me food/water daily. But even with her kindness, I wouldn't let anyone get too close to me. With the help of many people I was caught and now I'm waiting for my special someone to make me a part of their family.

After being scared and on my own, my fur became matted and I needed to be shaved. As you can see my beautiful fur is already growing back.

CARL volunteers are working on getting to know my likes/dislikes and helping me with leash training. I'm slowly learning to trust and come out of my shell. I love to be scratched on the head. I'm happy to explore my new world when I go out for my regular walking route. I have not been reactive to other dogs. I'm shy of strangers.

A huge heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful people who helped rescue me and who donated towards my care.

If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application to meet me.
