My story

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

Po has been growing some fabulous fur lately! Brushing and scritches are his absolute favorites - he can't get enough! Po's got a playful and quirky side! He has a hilarious game where he zips between your legs, in and out, over and over again. We're not entirely sure what the game is, but it's a riot to watch! Sometimes, we wonder if Po might need glasses. He tends to stare for quite a while when you call him before eventually making his way over. Or maybe he's just on his own schedule! Now, when it comes to squirrels in the yard, Po's got a bit of a prey drive, but we think he's more about protecting his territory than chasing them. He likes to pretend he's the house protector, but deep down, he's a softy and the first to run if things get a little scary. Po is a character for sure, and he's ready to bring a whole lot of joy to your life! Don't miss out on the chance to make this lovable dog a part of your family.
**Po is located in North Little Rock, AR. Paid transport can be arranged. Transport costs range from $200-400.**

More about this rescue

Houston Chow Chow Connection is a collaborative of dog lovers and rescuers that dedicate their time, efforts and talents toward helping rescue Chow Chows in need. We are an entirely volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) organization with no administrative costs.


Our rescue traces its origin back several years to the work of Dianne Watson. Dianne dedicated much of her young life to saving homeless Chows in North and West Texas. In her memory, Houston Chow Chow Connection continues her passion of uniting Chow Chows with perfect forever families.


HCCC began rescuing in 2013 and re-homed over 400 dogs since inception, including over 125 in 2017! Our dogs found homes on the East and West coasts of the U.S. and have traveled north and south! As we continue to rescue and re-home more and more Chows, our costs grow. As you may know, rescuing animals takes money. Not only is there the typical care and upkeep (including food and general veterinary care), some of our rescues need specialized treatments.


At HCCC we don’t pick and choose the dogs we rescue – they pick us. While the majority of our rescues are healthy, we never turn our backs on the homeless, Chows with physical issues, or disabilities. Some of our incoming babies have suffered long-term and extensive neglect. New HCCC dogs may require spay/neuter, shaving due to extensive matting, entropion and/or hip replacement surgeries, treatment of skin problems and a variety of other issues.
