My personality

My story

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

***COURTESY POST***

Rare Find: 40-lb Chihuahua wearing full-body Chow Chow cosplay.

Meet Charles — a 4-year-old, neutered male Chow Chow who swears he’s a tiny Chihuahua trapped in a much fluffier body. He’s 100% DNA-verified Chow…but don’t tell him that. He likes the “Chi attitude, Chow outfit” aesthetic.

Charles has:
• Completed heartworm treatment
• A couple of maintenance skin meds
• A strong opinion about squirrels
• A black belt in “cleaning up dropped food”

He spends 90% of the day supervising your activities from a comfy spot and the other 10% engaging in three daily bursts of toy-destroying enthusiasm. He is crate-trained, polite with most same-sized dogs (as long as they don’t try to challenge His Floofness), and fantastic with small dogs.

Charles may guard his food bowl, though he usually eats so fast there’s nothing left to guard. With strangers, expect some protective barking — but he respects his space and isn’t looking to bite your guests.

He loves his trusted humans, especially when they offer rump scratches.

A Chow-experienced home is strongly preferred. Not ideal for homes with kids.

Hypoallergenic coat. Big brain. Strong opinions. Needs consistency.
If you know Chows — you know.

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.
