CODE RED/EUTH LISTED - Must exit by 3 pm on 10/13 w/ commitment by 2 pm - now has URI and needs entropion surgery DOWNEY, CA- SEAACA KILL SHELTER-ID #27-03470- “PUMPKIN” HANDSOME BUT NEGLECTED to be PTS - NEEDS RESPONSIBLE FOREVER HOME, OR FOSTER AND RESCUE ASAP Please help us find a chow savvy or forever home (or foster and rescue) for this very handsome, but neglected boy found as a stray on 9/25 who now needs medical. We are calling him “Pumpkin ” and we are trying to find placement asap, before he is killed. Rescues need a foster and place for him to go. He needs entropion surgery that a rescue could assist with. The shelter initial notes stated, “able to handle and pet, matter fur, appears to have hot spots on front legs.” Additional notes we just received state: “51.4 lbs., 6 yrs., intact male, able to handle and pet, muzzle needed for exam, unpredictable behavior noted 10/1/26, does not like face handled, appears to have hot spots on front legs, bilateral entropion (superior and inferior lids) both eyes (r/o congenital/breed-related), otitis externa both ears (r/o yeast, bacterial, parasitic, cerumen), severely matted coat (r/o chronic neglect/poor husbandry), pelted mane, on second treatment for kennel cough, sneezing, nasal discharge, needs further medical care. Must receive commitment no later than 2:00 pm 10/13/2026 and pick-up no later than 3:00 pm 10/13/2026, will not hold past 3:00 pm 10/13/2026. No extensions will be given.” We have several videos showing this dear boy. Due to his needs, we are looking for both a forever home, as well as a foster we can refer to as rescue to save him in time, as most rescues need a place for a dog to go. For direct adoption inquiries, please contact the shelter asap using his listing link: https://seaaca.org/adoptions/view-our-animals... or by calling (562) 803-3301 and providing the his ID. If Pumpkin is not already neutered, this will be done for an adopter. To foster for a rescue, please contact robinmorgan@cox.net or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network asap who is trying to assist with his placement, so we can try to pair you with a willing rescue. Rescues should call (562) 803-3301 x258 and email adoptionpartners@seaaca.org We will be posting additional photos and videos on his Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/debbie.alder.14/posts/pfbid0cHgdojKppieEtJGkwwdjjevhesy34NJJTEnwgw8Y5MrbFWccJmfAuRiUY7YvxVRdl Note: to view contents of links you will need to copy and paste each one separately into your browser.
