Meet Smokey

Breed: Chow DOB: 1/2019 Gender: male Altered:yes Coat: long Size: medium Color(s): black Description: Hi, I'm Smokey, a handsome Chow in need of a new home. I was transferred from another rescue who rescued me from a LA shelter and I'm grateful to be given a chance to find my forever home. My training is impeccable. I don't try to rush out of the gate and I sit and stay until given a command. I can pull a little bit when on leash, so I will need some work on my manners while walking. I need a home with no small children. Older children who know how to be respectful may be ok. I need to be the only dog in the home and will need an experienced dog owner knowledgeable about Chows. It's unknown how I'd do with cats. If you're looking for a friendly floof ball, fill out an online application to meet me.
