Chow Chow puppies and dogs in Walkersville, Maryland

Hello world! I'm Ashland! One look at my sweet face and my adorably silly ears, I promise you'll fall in love. I'm a sweet southern gentleman who loves a nice stroll through the woods. I walk nicely with a harness and love exploring. I love adventures and car rides. I'm the perfect passenger and will look out the window or lay down in the back seat. I may even poke my head up front to give you a kiss. I know "sit" and "down" and will do both happily and even without a treat! Since I can be a little shy, I do best with a slow introduction. Once I warm up and trust (doesn't take too long especially with some yummy treats and a gentle touch), I love with my whole heart. I'll lean in for snuggles and belly rubs. And I'll be all tail wags. I've even been known to do some zoomies when I get excited to see my favorite people. I will be best in a home with no kids under 10 years old. And I'd really love to be the only dog for you to love. I can be reactive in new situations so living in a condo, apartment or townhouse are not recommended. I'm really good at letting you know if I'm feeling uncomfortable and my usual happy wagging tail will droop. I prefer to live a nice quiet life. City life isn't my style. I do hope that I can become your new best friend! If you have a nice house with a fenced in yard I would be so happy! Submit an application and come on out to meet me!

DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Sweet, loving and handsome Buster is a chow/pit mix (unconfirmed), is 3 years old and weighs 55lbs.  He's neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  He will do everything in his power to get love.  He stays at home during the day with Blitzen, his canine sibling he gets along with; Buster sleeps at night in a kennel beside his guardians' bed to keep him assured they're still around.  Buster especially likes car rides, but doesn't like the hardwood floors and sudden loud noises.  " Buster knows sit, and place commands. Additionally he has been leash and off leashed train to gravitate within a short distance of the person initiating the walks/activity."   Bite/Scratch/Lunge/Attack Incident:  In June/July 2022 timeframe Buster was in training with one of his canine companions and another dog at a kennel.  The bite broke the skin but animal control was not involved.  Buster's guardian explains: " The only affected participants of any direct threats were other animals in very high stress/tense situations. Buster has never attacked a human, but skin has been broken in separating the animals. Chewy could have been the problem in the animal based disagreements in the home, and Buster could have been retaliating for an earlier potential problem with the training incident."   Reason for surrender:  " Buster is a sweet and loving dog that will do everything in his power to get love, however sadly he is not on good terms with another of our animals, Chewy. Buster and Chewy began to fight and became dangerous to one another to be around, and Buster sadly has more issues with our other 2 dogs as well. Buster and Chewy have both been through obedience training to see if we could control such interactions but sadly there's just not evidence to show that it has helped them to interact or get along better. To keep Buster and Chewy safe we've had to cordon off half of our home and we dont think this is good for either pairing of dogs that we have, and over time we've seen more anxious behavior building in Buster that we truly believe he could have a better life in a single animal home." Ongoing medical treatment:  " Buster is currently taking fluoxetine and clonidine to help with managing living in a stressful environment and with our inability to give him more freedom within our home and yard without strict access controls to Chewy." Buster's guardian states the following about children:  Buster has lived with a 2yo child and recommends he live with a child, but further explains " Buster loves children, and to be completely honest after the incidents with Chewy [dog] we were fearful to allow him in vicinity of anything we thought he could deem weaker or a target. But in controlled settings with trained professionals he apparently still loves people, even very small ones.   Buster's guardian states the following about dogs: Buster lives with dogs. " Buster has responded well to every animal he has been around except for Chewy, and a dog called Avery at a training site/kennel location. Outside of those interactions Buster likes to be around dogs except those with a much higher energy level than his own, where he responds timidly." Buster's guardian states the following about cats:  Buster has not lived with cats.  " Buster was socialized almost entirely with cats before we took him into our home and with no issue. However since there are no cats in our home or in his training, we do not know how he would interact with them anymore." Buster's guardian describes his ideal future home:  " Buster would be the absolute best in a single animal home to assuage fears, however we think he does like to be around other animals so as long as he is with an animal who he gets along with then I am sure he would be happy. The ability to run and play in a yard and be a dog free of stressors in his daily existence is all we want for him. A fenced yard for him would be ideal, but we haven't had containment issues with even getting him to the parks and walking trails."

Greetings, I'm Buster, although you can call me Buster Brown - it suits me just fine. I've got a unique, burnt orange and brown coat that makes me stand out in a crowd. You might say I'm a medium-sized fellow, weighing in at around 70 pounds, and I've got a personality to match. I'm a mix with some Chow in me, which gives me that adorable square face that's just begging for a smooch. While I might come off as a little reserved at first, it doesn't take long for me to become your best friend. I've got a soft, fluffy coat that's incredibly cozy, and I'm a fan of Dr. Seuss's tales. As for my past, it hasn't always been smooth. I came to the pound with some nasty injuries on my back end, likely from a car accident. But I've healed up wonderfully and put those tough times behind me. Now, I'm all about finding a forever family to love. I'm good with people and get along with other dogs. Whether it's in a crate, on a leash, or just hanging out in the house, I'm a breeze to have around. I'd prefer a home with older kids, as I can be a bit shy with people right up in my face. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share your days with, look no further. I promise, we'll make each other's dreams come true. So, let's make a date - I'm ready for my next adventure with you! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE.
