Dezi

Chow Chow

Male, Adult

New Orleans, LA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Dezi is an 8-year-old Chow Chow with a big heart and an even bigger mane! This handsome guy was originally owned by a veteran who loved him deeply but can no longer care for him due to health reasons. I stepped in temporarily to help, but unfortunately, my allergies make it impossible for me to keep him long-term. Now Dezi is looking for his next (and hopefully forever) home. Dezi has spent most of his life as the only pet and tends to enjoy a peaceful, low-animal household. Like many chows, he’s independent and dignified but has a sweet and social side with his humans once he trusts you. He’s not neutered, and while he’s mostly a mellow homebody, he can be reactive around other dogs, especially if they’re too forward. He’s not a fan of cats at all, so a cat-free home is a must.

Houston is full of love and energy! He loves going for walks and resting his head on your lap. He is extremely intelligent and responsive to verbal commands. He is 2 years old and weighs about 100 pounds. Unfortunately, we are not in the place right now as a family to give him the attention and lifestyle he deserves, so we’re hoping to find a place for him where he will be loved and receive everything he needs.

Sweet with adults , not Good with small children snaps. Uses bathroom in house if not kenneled when alone. I took her because a co worker was bringing her to a shelter.

My grandchildren are with me often and she is not a good fit. Would be best with an adult only house.

June

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello. June is our shelter adoption from August 2025. She has been a real joy during these past 2.5 months. Watching her open up and enjoy all the benefits of being a loved on fur baby has been so rewarding. June is the perfect protector and is truly a wonderful sweet dog who loves her humans and her toys. Unfortunately she has been showing sign of reactive aggression to our 17 year old miniature poodle. We believe June will be a better fit in a home where she is the only fur baby. She is heartworm positive and has an overnight appt scheduled in December that I am willing to continue to assist with. Also her supplies and comforts will come with her as well.
