I just realized I left out the beginning story of this nightmare… the dumping of 34 chows as trash:I wanted to give everyone an update on the 26 now 27 Chow Chows that were dumped in GA. http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-national/26-dogs-thrown-away-on-georgia-roadside?CID=examiner_alerts_article
Amy Young and Lynette White went to the Coweta shelter today to evaluate the three Chow Chows they have. They are going to need some work but they feel they can be socialized and then be placed in loving homes. These three will be spayed and neutered, heartworm tested, rabies and DHLPP shot and wormed. Once this is done they will be going to Amy's. She will be working with them and then they will be transported to my rescue.
They then drove to the Meriwether shelter to evaluate the 11 Chows they have there. They again think they can be socialized and be placed into loving homes. Lynette will be driving to the shelter and begin to work with socializing them. Amy will be pulling a few at a time and will work with them. They will either be placed there or will be transported to my rescue for placement. This shelter is very rescue friendly and will work with us.
Mike from Chow Rescue in GA pulled three Chows and we will work together to find them loving homes.
Unfortunately 6 have been hit by vehicles and died and 4 are still running loose.
We asked the shelter to have them all spayed and neutered, heartworm tested, rabies shot, DHLPP shot and get them wormed. All of this cost $$$ so we've set up a donation page http://chowchowrescuecny.chipin.com/coweta-chows
Desperate Situation - Chow kennel license pulled by Dept of Ag
by Cindy Stone on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 2:39pmI don’t know if you have heard about the 34 chows dumped in Meriwether/Newnan counties in early March. Chow Rescue of Central New York and others are working on getting these chows pulled from the shelters, vetted, and adopted or into foster care. The current situation is that the Dept of Ag has now gone into the kennels that dumped these chows and has pulled their licenses. The kennel owners have now surrendered the remaining 74 chows to the Meriwether animal shelter. Chow Rescue of Central New York has 30 days to work out some solution for handling these chows.
We would like to line up foster homes with experienced dog people. We don’t know temperaments yet—most of the original 34 were very scared, but neither aggressive towards nor responsive to humans. If you are willing to help, please send an email to Cindy Stone at chowchow@twcny.rr.com , Lynette White at glwchows@bellsouth.net or Amy Young at bytez@hotmail.com with info about how many you might be willing to take in and when.
If you can not foster at this time please consider donating dog kennels, dog bowls, kennel leads, dog houses, dog food and any other item that may help these Chows.
This will be a tremendous financial responsibility for our rescue so we are also asking for donations to help defray the cost of vetting these Chow Chows. You can donate at -

debra, you know for sure this is an legit rescue? Sorry for this post, but many folks are "claiming" rescue and not doing it.

chow chows are wonderful neat dogs and, despite the somewhat bad rep, the ones i have met have been lovely ambassadors for the breed.
My sis has the most gorgeous, mellow, female blue chow who too is a wonderful ambassador for the breed.
How sad for these chows. But perhaps now they will go on to a better life. Bless all of those who work in rescue.

Oh wow, do I ever know they are legit. This woman has been an angel for so long, most of us from around the country support her. Many of us have gotten rescues from her. So yeah, she's as legit as BRAT.

I had heard about the dumping of the dogs but did not know anything about the new dogs. I guess they found out who the owner was of the dumped dogs and now he/she turned over all of the Chows. I guess the market was not good for Chows.
What a sad story! I hope the owner gets prosecuted for the dumping of the dogs.

… and how utterly stupid of that puppymiller, too. How do you dump that many dogs and NOT have it traced back to you? Ridiculous. Ugh.
I will forward this information. I'm sorry to hear that there are fewer available resources for Chow rescue. BRAT is truly one of the most well-organized breed rescues I have seen, and sometimes I lose sight of how this "safety net" is not available to all.

Are they looking for people to help transport animals? I am not that far away (rochester, NY) and could help with transporting dogs from Cicero west towards Rochester/Buffalo/Erie, if needed. I also have a petsitter friend that does a lot of transporting for other organizations so she would probably help too.
-
Yes, please hit the volunteer button on the main page and volunteer specifying you can help transport. I think their FB is open to public… if so, omg look at the chow Amy groomed...
