Chow Chow puppies and dogs in Millbrae, California

Meet Mufasa! This Majestic Beast is a BIG fuzzy boy. He came to us full of matts so deep he didnt like being pet. Now that he is all shaved down and can feel his skin he LOVES scratches. Chin and booty scratches are his absolute favorite. Mufasa is a Chow mix possibly purebred. IYKYK chows require a special kind of person to be their owners. Here is the low down. He has been great with dogs his size and over. Likely ok with small dogs but have not fully tested it (will do in the next few days). He thinks cats, birds and squirels are yummy snacks and he has to have them all( if he sees them.) So no pocket pets or kitties in the home. He is crate trained and will go in willingly for a special treat. He can hold his eliminations very well. He will whine when he needs to potty but currently is walked 3x a day. He loves him some canned wet food and likely he was fed human food since he will beg when he smells something tasty you are cooking.  He loves to sniff around on his walks and will mark new spots along his path when he is unfamiliar with the route. Take it like his trail of breadcrumbs. He prefers to poop in the same spot everytime so be sure its an acceptable spot for him to go because you will be frequently visiting it daily. He usually poops once a day and pees 2 to 3x a day. He gets fed once a day in the morning and has multiple treats throughout the day along with a chew that lasts him a few days.  When interacting with new doggies he has to smell their butt. He prefers calm dogs who are not in his face. We have not seen a playful side to him just yet but he is definitely showing his more loving side now that we can give him big scratches. Chows are known to be aloof and not eager to please. A Chow Chow thrives on a "quiet presence". They prefer to show affection by simply being in the same room, following you around the house, or offering a gentle nudge, rather than jumpy greetings or forced cuddles. Summary: about 3 years old male neutered must have chow experience no kids under 10 years no cats or pocket pets back yard potty breaks or strong armed leash walks fostered with dogs his size and up crate trained potty trained will require regular grooming For more photos and videos please see our website www.hdbnqrescue.org/bitches youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@HDBnQRescue ##2852630##

* Looking for Chow Chow-experienced home* Smart, independent, and still building confidence* Goofy, fluffy babeHuncho is a handsome Chow Chow who is looking for a home with someone who understands and appreciates the unique personality of the breed. He can be reserved and cautious in new situations, so he’ll do best with an experienced Chow adopter who can give him the time, patience, and structure he needs to feel comfortable.Once he’s comfortable, Huncho has shown that he can be a sweet and engaging companion. He has accepted treats from his handlers, enjoyed some playtime, and allowed pets and handling from people he trusts. He has also shown that he can walk calmly and has had positive interactions with people and dogs in some settings.Huncho is still working on his leash skills and can become very focused on exciting distractions like squirrels. He may also be hesitant about entering or leaving his kennel and can vocalize when he feels uncomfortable or pressured. His future family should be prepared to let him settle in at his own pace and continue building his confidence through positive, consistent training.

Adoption Fee: $650 There are some Chows who walk into a room and immediately demand to know who is in charge. And then there is Orange Chicken, who walked into rescue, took a few days to decide that this whole “people and houses” thing might actually be okay, and then basically said: “Ohhhh. THIS is the good life!” Orange Chicken is an 11 month old, 35-pound female Chow Chow who came to us from a breeder situation. She is a beautiful girl with a youthful, spunky personality that has been absolutely delightful to watch emerge. When Orange Chicken first arrived, she was very shut down and understandably unsure of her new surroundings. For the first couple of days, she mostly stayed tucked away in her kennel, quietly taking everything in. But this girl didn't stay there for long. Day by day, she began to realize that she was safe, that her new people were kind, and that there were some very interesting dogs around to show her the ropes. And once Orange Chicken decided she was ready to participate in life? HELLO, ORANGE CHICKEN! Her personality started popping out everywhere. She loves to frolic around the yard, explore her surroundings, and follow the resident dogs from room to room. In fact, her foster's senior dog has basically become her personal tour guide, emotional-support Chow buddy, and GPS system. If he goes somewhere, Orange Chicken wants to know where. If he disappears, she goes looking for him. Apparently, Orange Chicken has decided that wherever he is must be where the party is. She absolutely loves other dogs. Her foster family says watching her with their dogs is one of the sweetest things about her. Even when the little 7-pound resident dog wasn't quite sure what to make of this much larger fluffy creature, Orange Chicken was wonderfully gentle and simply went off to find something else to do. Which is pretty impressive when you're a 35-pound Chow and your tiny roommate is giving you the canine equivalent of: “Excuse me. You are TOO BIG.” Orange Chicken's response? “Okay! I'll go find my other dog.” She's playful and youthful without being wild, and she has a wonderful curiosity about the world. Watching her transform from that initially shut-down girl into a happy, frolicking, curious Chow has been incredibly rewarding for her foster family. She also does beautifully with affection once she is comfortable. She may not immediately throw herself into someone's lap, but she has learned that human hands are pretty nice and happily allows her foster family to carry her, pet her, hug her, and show her affection. And that is what makes Orange Chicken so special. She's a girl who is learning how wonderful life can be. She is already making huge strides, and we think the right family is going to watch her confidence continue to blossom. She would especially love a home with another friendly dog who can be her buddy and help her feel comfortable as she continues experiencing all the things she missed out on earlier in life. She has already mastered some very important skills, including going in and out of the house, following her dog friends around, and being comfortable in her crate. She's still learning the finer points of being a house dog, but she's making progress. She hasn't even gotten to the really fun part yet. The world is still new to Orange Chicken. She hasn't discovered everything there is to discover. She hasn't perfected the art of being spoiled. She hasn't yet learned that there are people out there whose entire purpose in life is to tell a beautiful Chow how pretty she is. But she's getting there. And when she starts trotting around the yard with that happy little Chow expression, following her dog friends and exploring her world, you can see it: Orange Chicken is happy. She is sweet, gentle, curious, youthful, and wonderfully spunky. She needs a family who will give her time to continue building confidence and who understands that a Chow who has had a big life change may need a little patience while she figures everything out. Give her that patience, give her a canine companion if you can, give her a secure yard to explore, and most importantly, give her love. We have a feeling Orange Chicken is going to give you a whole lot back. Because this girl has gone from hiding in the back of her kennel to frolicking through the yard like she owns the place. And honestly? We think she's finally ready for her forever home—and she's bringing the Orange Chicken with her. October 11, 2026, 3:52 pm

Our Sweet, Fluffy Appetizer!  Everyone loves a good Crab Rangoon… but we think Crab Rangoon the Chow Chow might just be the best one yet! Crab is a beautiful 4–5 year old female Chow Chow, weighing 38lbs, who is learning that life can be pretty wonderful when you have kind people, cozy places to lounge, tasty treats, and plenty of time to simply be yourself. She is a calm, quiet, independent girl with a gentle personality and watching her slowly come out of her shell has been one of the sweetest things to see.  When Crab first arrived, she was understandably a little unsure about things. She likes to take her time observing the world around her and deciding what she thinks about it. She isn’t the type of dog who needs to be the center of attention every second. Instead, she prefers to sit back, watch, explore, and enjoy the day at her own pace. And honestly? She may have discovered the secret to a pretty peaceful life.  Crab absolutely LOVES her walks! The minute her people come home or head outside in the morning, Crab is watching closely because, in her mind, it must obviously be time to go for a walk! She gets excited and will happily follow along. Once she’s out exploring, she likes to take her time, stopping to sniff, investigate, and see what interesting things the world has to offer. She isn’t a dog who needs to race around, she’d much rather take a leisurely stroll and enjoy all the smells. And then there are the treats. Crab is a girl with very refined taste buds. She has made it very clear that not every snack deserves her attention. Greenies? Pass. Fake bacon? No thank you. Random dry treats? Please don’t insult me. But put some real beef, chicken, or chicken jerky in front of her, and suddenly you have her full attention! She definitely believes that if you’re going to offer a treat, it better be worthy of a five-star review.  One of the most heartwarming parts of Crab’s journey has been watching her realize that affection can be pretty great, too. She is warming up to belly rubs and ear scratches and has started showing her belly when she wants some attention. That may seem like a small thing, but for Crab, it’s a beautiful sign that her trust is growing. She’s also recently started showing more of her playful side! When her people come home, Crab has begun getting playful and silly, giving us little glimpses of the personality that’s been hiding underneath that beautiful fluffy exterior. It’s almost like she’s saying, “Okay… I think I like you guys. Maybe we can have some fun now.”  Crab is also doing wonderfully with her two smaller, middle-aged male doggy roommates. She is incredibly mellow around them and originally preferred to simply leave them alone, but she’s now starting to play with them! Watching her become comfortable enough to engage with them has been another wonderful milestone. For the most part, Crab is a quiet girl who doesn’t feel the need to announce herself to the neighborhood. She doesn’t bark much and spends a lot of her day peacefully roaming around the yard, following her people from place to place, or finding a comfortable spot to lounge and take in the view.  She’s only really spoken up a couple of times, once when a neighbor’s dog was barking and once when an adorable little puppy came near and Crab got excited enough to join in. And when she gets excited? That playful side comes out, and it’s absolutely adorable.  Crab isn’t an overly energetic dog, but she does enjoy getting out for her walks and exploring. The rest of the time, she’s perfectly content to relax. She would make a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a calm, quiet, easygoing dog who doesn’t need constant entertainment. Most importantly, Crab needs someone who understands that trust takes time. She isn’t looking for someone to rush her or expect her to become an instant cuddle bug. She wants someone patient who will allow her to continue discovering the world at her own pace. In return, you’ll get to experience something incredibly special: watching a once-unsure dog slowly realize that she is safe, loved, and allowed to be herself.  Crab Rangoon would be happiest with someone who will appreciate her independent spirit while giving her plenty of love, patience, encouragement, and of course her preferred selection of premium beef and chicken delicacies.  If your idea of the perfect dog is a beautiful, fluffy, mellow companion who enjoys leisurely walks, quiet days, exploring the yard, lounging in the sunshine, and slowly becoming your best friend, Crab may be exactly the girl you’ve been waiting for. She doesn’t need a perfect home. She just needs her person, someone willing to give her the time and patience to blossom. And trust us… when Crab finally decides you’re her person, those belly rubs, playful moments, excited greetings, and quiet companionship are going to feel like the best Crab Rangoon you’ve ever ordered.  Come meet Crab Rangoon and give this sweet girl the chance to show you just how much love and personality she’s been waiting to share.       October 11, 2026, 3:52 pm

This one-eyed beauty is discovering how good life can be, one backyard adventure at a time. A Girl with Her Own Pace When Broccoli Beef first arrived in her foster home, she kept her distance and quietly watched everything around her. She wasn’t interested in food, toys, or treats. As she’s grown more comfortable, her personality has begun to shine: she now picks up plush toys and trots around the yard with them, cautiously accepts treats from a hand, and has become a devoted fan of cheese. Broccoli Beef is independent and doesn’t demand attention. She may choose to sit nearby, though, and if you offer a scratch behind her ear, she’ll lean in to let you know you’ve found the spot. Watching her trust grow has been one of the sweetest parts of getting to know her. Her Kind of Day Broccoli Beef’s favorite place is the backyard. She prances through it with the wind in her fur, chases squirrels and birds, then finds a shady spot for a well-earned nap. Inside, she’s a relaxed lounger who enjoys her crate and occasionally ventures out to explore the house. On weekdays, she heads into the yard around 6:30 a.m., has breakfast, and settles into her crate while her fosters are at work. They return around 4 p.m. for a mile walk and backyard time. She eats dinner around 6–7 p.m., takes one last potty break around 8:30, and sleeps through the night in her crate. She also does well with longer walks on weekends. The Things She’s Learning Broccoli Beef is fully crate trained and mostly housetrained. She does best with prompt access to the backyard, since she hasn’t been peeing or pooping on walks. Fear can also cause accidents, particularly during car rides. Walks are still a learning experience. She may start out with a burst of zoomies, then settle into a sniff-filled stroll after a couple of blocks. She needs a short leash and an attentive person to guide her safely, as she may wander toward the street. People passing too close can startle her, though she generally walks past other dogs without barking. She rarely barks, doesn’t chew or dig, and has been good with visitors. She does occasionally have an opinion about the television, but settles when someone sits near her crate. Her Ideal Home Broccoli Beef would love a home with a secure backyard where she can enjoy her daily trots and shady naps. She’ll thrive with patient people who let her build trust at her own pace and respect her space.  Broccoli Beef doesn’t need her people to rush her. Give her room to explore, a plush toy to carry, and perhaps a little cheese, and you’ll get to see that wonderful smile appear more and more often. October 11, 2026, 3:52 pm
