Story
Chubby toes. Chubby face. Chubby smile. Chubby nose. Everything chubby! And not that kind of chubby from eating too much. Walrus Teddy is just a total chubby bubby heartthrob, and an absolute sweet heart. His looks are unmatched and undeniable and he has a personality to match! You can easily compare him to a real life-sized teddy bear and he's super soft like one too! He’s so happy anywhere he goes, loves everyone he meets, acts like he has known you his whole life even after only knowing him for 5 seconds. This amazing guy has so much love to give it’s incredible and he’ll be sure to make you smile while he’s loving you. Watch his video and fall in love with his real life teddy bear: https://youtu.be/2ezbJO4fykg Walrus Teddy is believed to be a chow mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 47 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. It's pretty safe to say that this teddy bear has some Chow Chow or maybe even Akita sprinkled in his DNA just based off looks. Regardless of what his genetic make up is...he is perfection. So if you like teddy bears and dogs, well Walrus is your guy. Walrus is a total hambone when it comes to affection and meeting new people. He loves everyone he meets and that friendliness even extends towards children. He has spent time with kids as young as 4 years old and he did great! Like was completely comfortable about young children and it was seamless for him, almost like he already knows how to be a family dog with kids. He was very respectful, did not jump, nor attempt to steal any of the snacks. Even when Miller the little girl he was around, came in with her Mac n cheese, he would stand on the tippy top of his chubby toes and would do so in the cutest most polite way. At the end of the day, Walrus Teddy is all about love, tail wags, and just being included. Walrus is very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him too. He's the type that's just happy to be there and included. He has a gentle play style that is more bouncy, romping along side his doggy friends, mixed in with the occasional wrestling match. He is respectful around dogs that don't want to play and he is completely happy and content chilling outside and enjoying the fresh air together or relaxing inside on their dog beds. He knows when to take play breaks and is content either way. Making him a great dog to have if you don't have other animals. Walrus is so dog friendly that he attends a playgroup camp with up to 12 dogs playing together. Walrus is very smart and as you can probably already suspect, treat motivated. He already knows how to sit, shake, and walks well on a leash! Making him the perfect companion to take with you to that nature trail you've been wanting to explore. He is also crate trained and potty trained. Walrus would thrive in a home with a back yard where she can practice her mini zooms, sunbathe during those beautiful summer days, and explore all the smells. He also has the potential of thriving in an apartment/condo setting as well with the proper exercise and socialization. He doesn’t need much but a long walk to the park or even. We can see him being your lazy Sunday snuggly chubby bubby and also your Saturday morning adventure gal. He has all of the makings of being able to do both. Walrus is the best of both worlds in our eyes. We are willing to test Walrus Teddy with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

HI - I'M BOBO! I'm a beautiful, sweet, gentle, mellow 8-year-old female Chow Chow currently in a foster home, where I enjoy my days lounging around, going for short walks, and hanging out with other dogs and cats. I originally was rescued from a crowded California shelter, where I was brought in with a another dog. I do great with other dogs and cats, too. I'm in good health except for some arthritis, but glucosamine treats help me greatly. Would you like to meet me? Please email for an application. I weigh 78 lbs.

Story
*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.
