Story
Beau is in foster care and is available through application only. He is not at MHS. Link for application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CBIA/Dog Beau is everything the Chow breed represents...squishy cute, loyal, opinionated, and independent. He would do best with someone with Chow experience or that has worked with dogs. He is working on his confidence and trust. He has a small circle of people he trusts which is typical of his breed, but he is very treat motivated and can be won over. He does well with other dogs. He loves car rides and is up for any adventure with his favorite person.

Story
- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep their bodies and brains busy - Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress - Tends to avoid other dogs (dog intro recommended) - Shy pup who may need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet homeAll adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Black Weight: 38.5 Age: 3yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
Jesse James is a calm, cool & collected easy going guy. The noise & confusion of busy events or barking & chaos of all the dogs never phases him. Jesse walks great on leash is crate trained and likes car rides especially if he gets to ride shotgun :)He likes to sit with his person watching what's going on- kind of like that "nosy neighbor.. but a LOT cuter :) It takes Jesse a little while to trust new people or to feel safe in new places but not too long. In no time he'll approach for pats or treats. Good with dogs and accepts pets from strangers or kids. Jesse James went from, the streets to a rescuer in Louisiana, then to a boarding place when his rescuer got very ill ;( His rescuer passed away and he was then transferred to a high kill pound in LA ;( Our rescue saw him with several other dogs who were from the same rescuer and decided to save two of them!! His friend was adopted pretty quickly but Jesse was more reserved and traumatized by all the changes in his life... I mean, as we get older we definitely are slower to adjust :) Now he is READY for his real family!! He is a great boy, and just like a chow he loves his people! He has waited for this opportunity so we are praying that the right family will see him and say... WE have been waiting for Jesse James too!!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in tX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Junius is a quiet, resilient pup who’s come a long way from where he started. When he was found, his fur was painfully matted, his body frail, and his muscles weak from neglect. But with a fresh shave, some much-needed medication, and lots of TLC, Junius is finally on the road to healing — and he`s ready to find a forever home that will show him the love he`s always deserved.He walks beautifully on a leash, enjoying calm strolls where he can sniff and explore at his own pace. While Junius is learning to trust again, he can still be sensitive about being touched around his face and back end — areas that were once sources of real discomfort for him. Because of this, he`s looking for a patient, adult-only home (or one with older, dog-savvy teens) where he can continue building confidence at his own speed.Junius is not just a survivor — he`s a sweetheart who, once bonded, gives his trust with quiet loyalty. If you`re the kind of person who finds joy in giving a deserving dog a second chance, Junius might be the one you`ve been waiting for!

Story
The votes are IN and we ARE the WINNERS!! Found at the side of a country road (very common dumping ground, next to the railroad tracks), and saved by a wonderful "foster" and her husband and son and other doggy friends :) We started living like REAL loved puppies the day she saved us!! We are learning potty training and are crate trained experts!! We are leash training as well, but you have to understand.... we were never loved, never lived IN a home and NEVER had ANYONE CARE!!! So, potty trained or not, we are over the moon (and so is our foster mom). But now it is time to find our furever homes! We love and play very well together and would be ideal as a pair, but do NOT have to be adopted together. We need another calm and confident dog to keep us happy/played with and to teach us all we need to know about being loved pups :) We are gorgeous pups and our coats will accent your hair :) ADOPT...DON'T SHOP!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
