My personality

My story

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

Bowie (Beau) is a 4-year-old, 60 lb purebred Chow Chow who has been working hard in training and is now ready to find his new family. After being returned from a previous adoption, Bowie has made huge progress with structure, socialization, and confidence-building.

Bowie is an intelligent and capable dog who thrives on clear leadership. When he lost his canine companion and was put in a leadership role he wasn’t ready for, it led to frustration and confusion. But with consistent training, he’s learning how to navigate the world with confidence!

Bowie is housebroken, crate-trained, and food-motivated. He loves toys, enjoys roughhousing, and is incredibly expressive once he trusts his handler. He can be pushy with new dogs but adjusts well when properly guided. He’s still working on leash manners and handling, so he needs a confident adopter who understands Chow Chows or independent breeds.

Bowie’s Ideal Home:
- Experienced adopter with strong leadership skills
- No small children (at this time!)
- A structured home that will continue his training
- A confident, well-balanced dog friend would be a plus!

Bowie is protective, playful, and full of personality. With the right person, he will be an incredible companion.

**Bowie is located in Spring, Texas. 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.
