Adopt-A-Chow Rescue does not adopt out of their immediate area. This is because we can not appropriately perform inspections, etc., nor maintain proper contact with the families that adopt the rescues.
All our rescue Chows are either neutered or spayed and shots are up to date. If major surgery is necessary for non give-up Chows, we have normally taken care of it beforehand.
Because all of the moneys for medical expenses come out of our personal finances, we do not have the funds available to care for Chows being given up by their families to us. Consequently, if anyone is looking for help from us in placement of their Chows, we ask that you make sure all shots are up to date, heartworm testing has been done and preventative being given, and spay/neuter has been completed. We understand that there are times when there is a particular hardship encountered by some families, and we try to work with them the best we can.
If you are intetrested in a puppy, we rarely get puppies. When we do, we have a rather long waiting list. Puppies normally go to families that have already adopted older Chows from us and have exhibited the ability to properly raise and work with a Chow, or people who have had Chows in the past and shown that they can do the same. It is very rare that we ever adopt puppies to first time Chow owners.
You will find contact information at the end of the description of many of the Chows available. That means those Chows are not in our immediate rescue program. They are Chows that are in that particular state that we have posted for someone else as a courtesy. If you should be interested in any of those Chows, please contact those people as we cannot give you any information or help you in adopting those particular Chows. As for adoption of Chows in Adopt-A-Chow Rescue's rescue program, it is our policy that we do not adopt out of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

: Red, approx. 3-5 yr. old female. Very laid back, sweet girl. She was found running loose in Baltimore. A man found her, gave her to a family who decided they didn't really want her , so they gave her back. Hannah is missing her top front teeth...as though she'd been chewing on rocks. You can see pictures of her here. (contact Marian at 703-866-4149) (posted January 28, 2000)Chelsea
: Red, approx. 5 yr. old female. Chelsea had belonged to a family who'd had her since she was 5 weeks old. The family had moved to a home where the landlord would not allow them to keep her, so they took her to the father's home where she was kept outdoors chained up to a tree for at least six months. Finally, knowing they could not keep her, the rescue associate of ours they had called to ask for help in finding Chelsea a new home decided it was in Chelsea's best interest to get her physically into the rescue system. Because she was so terribly matted, her coat was cut to the bare minimum. Unfortunately, since she'd not been kept on preventative, she tested positive for Heartworm and had to be treated for that before she could be spayed. Chelsea was raised with a young boy who is now six, but had not been exposed to other dogs or cats. She is a sweet lady who just wants some love and care. You can see pictures of her here.
