Pet of the Week: Chowder

Name: Chowder

Age: 3 years

Weight: 70 pounds

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd / Chow Chow mix

Chowder is a big, friendly and very loveable dog. While he may enjoy a nap in the living room, Chowder is not a couch potato. This is a really great dog who needs an active family that will include him in everything they do.

He loves people, other dogs, and dog toys. Chowder is always ready for a tug of war. And before he goes to bed at night he really enjoys a nice rawhide chew as a late night snack.

Just one more thing you need to know: Yes, his left ear always flops down like that.

Chowder's $145 adoption fee includes his medical exam, up to date vaccinations, neuter, and microchip identification. 

Find out how you can adopt "Chowder" or sponsor him until his new family finds him and takes him home.
