West Texas
Chow Chow Rescue
Welcome to the West Texas Chow Rescue website!
Our goal is to rescue friendly and outgoing Chow Chows and give them a second chance at finding loving and caring homes. Our organization has placed numerous Chow Chows with loving families and individuals all across the country and even overseas
Our Program
West Texas Chow Rescue is operated by Mike and Linda Brantley. We have experience in raising, showing, and training a variety of dogs; in particular Chow Chows. Our foster kennel is located on the arid Plains of Lubbock County about 10 minutes west of Lubbock, Texas.
To ensure that our placements are appropriate, we need to make sure that we select a dog that is compatible with your lifestyle. That is why it is essential that we chat with you and determine how best to meet your needs. If we have a Chow that may be the right one for you, we will invite you to our kennel to meet him. If you do not live in our area, we can email or send a variety of photographs to you of the dogs you are interested in. If we do not have a Chow to suit you now, we may have one at a later date. Just keep in contact with us and visit our site regularly.
Although previous ownership of a Chow is not a must, it is helpful to have some knowledge of the breed before thinking of adoption. It is a good idea to visit some of the links listed on this page for more detailed information on the breed.
We expect our dogs to be an intergral part of your home and be involved in your family life and activities. We also want to ensure the safety of the dogs we place, therefore we prefer that adopters have a fenced yard. Occasionally, exceptions are made for responsible dog owners with special situations.
Our adoption fee is $200. This fee is used to offset the cost of medical expenses and feed. All dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date on their vaccinations. They are heartworm negative and have been started on preventative. They are bathed, dipped, groomed and have their nails trimmed. Some are good with cats. All are friendly with good, even dispositions and we feel will adapt readily to a new home. All are 100% guaranteed. If for any reason your adopted dog does not work out, we will take it back and replace it with another rescue dog. If you are not happy with your new pet then chances are the pet is not happy either. We want to ensure that both owner and Chow are happy.
Available For Adoption
"Once you open your heart to a Chow, your world will never be the same."
Huni.....what can I say about this sweetie except WOW! Huni has matured into a gorgeous girl with a beautiful black coat. She lost her tail due to an accidental but it used to curl way over her back in a big plumb! We think she looks just as cute with a little bob tail and it is so cute when she wags...her whole back end gets into motion! Huni is the perfect dog...she loves kids, cats, other dogs, is completely housetrained and knows basic obedience. She is very quiet, clean and loves belly rubs. She would be most happy lying besides you or going for a walk, anything as long as she was with her "people". Huni's loving and sweet demeanor will win you over in a flash!
Tiger Lily
Tiger Lily is a striking brindle chow about 18 months of age. She is a bundle of energy but also loves to cuddle and give kisses. She is not real big, but her heart makes up for it with her love of life! Tiger Lily is house trained, loves to "go bye bye", and is good with male dogs. She is best in a home without cats or small children. This beautiful young lady makes us smile every day with her twinkling eyes and inquisitive nature. Can she come play at your house?
Skeeto is a gorgeous black male about 2 years of age. He has the most beautiful shiny black coat! This happy go lucky fella just loves the world! He is fabulous with people of all ages and loves other dogs as well. Skeeto has not had much training but he wants to please and is a quick learner. What a FABULOUS dog!
Chowder
Chowder is a very special little girl! Just 6 months old, she has not had much contact with people and is timid. However, she is anything but aggressive. Once you start loving on her, she just melts! She gets very happy with the other dogs and would probably respond very quickly with a companion. Chowder needs a home without children as all that activity is a bit overwhelming for her! If you have the time and love to share, Chowder could sure use it....and she will give as much in return!
Sajun
This is Sajun. He is about 2 years of age, very mild mannered and knows some basic commands such as sit, shake and will even dance for food! He is good with all the female dogs I have had him with and seems to ignore the males (although I never place two males in the same household). Sajun was HW positive when he arrived but he has been treated and is now on monthly preventive and doing great! It was a light case so no long term damage and should fully recover! He is handsome and smart and will be a wonderful companion! What more could you ask for???
