The LA city shelter is beyond capacity and is asking for help for dear petite Kaval who came in as a stray. While he has been uncomfortable with some people, he has done well with other dogs per playgroup notes and as seen in multiple video with both males and females, including but not limited to this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B3-BEQNpjJc\n\nKaval is perfect size at only 39 lbs and said to be 1 year old now. He was recently neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.\n\nA volunteer told us “when we came to the kennel door he was the sweetest little angel , so gentle and calm “. However, because he has been growling at times, likely out of fear and trust, and or just not feeling well, a chow savvy home is requested. Kaval was also noted as having bloody diarrhea shortly after coming in, which has since resolved with medicine. While he is adoptable, due to his behavior with people, the shelter has now put him on the euthanasia list and needs out asap. \n\nShelter notice just emailed status!\n\n"Reason for euthanasia:\nThis dog displays a very stiff body posture and is wary of new people and handling.\nAdditionally, the animal is avoidant and growls when approached.\nAt Risk Category: Y2\nLast day to take animal: 8/29/26\nScheduled euthanasia date: 8/30/26\nThis animal is available for New Hope, adoption or foster." \n\nWe were also given more detailed behavior and medical notes, which can be shared, and should be requested if interested in adopting or fostering. It is noted he “Walked well on leash, Mingled around the yard very appropriately, no corrections given or taken, ignored assertive intact male puppy trying to push him”. However, it is also noted Kaval “displays a very stiff body posture, is wary of new people, avoidant, and growls when approached.” \n\nIf you are interested to adopt Kaval in person, and can give him a forever and responsible home he so deserves, please contact the shelter directly by calling the LA City shelter at (888) 452-7381 and ask for his ID.\n\nListing link: https://www.laanimalservices.com/pet/a2288539\n\nIf you can foster, or foster to adopt for a rescue, please contact robinmorgan@cox.net or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network who is trying to assist the shelter with his placement, and would try to pair you with a willing rescue. \n\nPlease note rescue groups usually need a committed foster to usually save a dog.
