Chow/Akita puppies need good homes!

[__crazy_canine__]

Names: Thelma & Louise (not very original but when you have to have names for over 80 dogs, how can you be?)
Breed: Akita/Chow
Age: around 5 months or so
Size: now=around 35lbs, expected=55-85
Color: black w/a little bit of reddish highlights
Fur: thick, double-coated and stand-off fur (very, very soft!)
More: They both have dark brown eyes but Thelma's left eye is blue because of a scratch on her cornea which the vet checked and its perfectly fine. Of the two I would say Thelma is more affectionate but I can respect Louise because you have to earn her trust. Like Akitas they are definately independent and protective. They dont seem to do well wuith other dogs as far as Ive seen but thats typical of the breed. They are trying to socialize them though. Louise barks sometimes but Ive never heard thelma bark before. Both are very cute I just want to see them go to the right homes, who also have experience with the breed or at least other dogs.


Rescued on February 19th (2004) these two fluffy puppies are still looking for a good home. They dont need to go together but if possible it would be wonderful! Their mother is a Chow Chow and their father is an Akita. They are now around 4 months old and we are all concerned about finding a home with experience in these breeds, since both can be hard to handle and need lots of training and socializing. They were adopted once but returned since the owners couldnt handle having two puppies when they were almost never home.

While they were in a home they never had an accident inside nor at adoption days have they which I find to be extremely good for only being 4 months!

They are both all black, unlike their golden mother, and have the cutest looks! Just see for yourself!



Theyre pretty big sized and are expected to grow as large as 80 lbs, but it all depends on which breed is more dominant in these two. Right now the Akita seems to be.

Looks like an Akita stance only with a fluffy coat! :lol:


...and here is a better picture of their mom. Sorry no pictures of their dad who wasnt rescued for reasons unknown to me...

Yes they are adorable! But these pups will definatly need a owner with experience. I hope they can find someone.

Yep horrible mix to have. I really hope their temperments turn out ok when they get older... :-?

UPDATE: Puppy Thelma was adopted and was renamed Coco. Shes now happy in a home with lots of love. Hopefully she wont be returned as they were before.

Dangit!!! Thelma was returned yet again! Turns out the owner was depending on his room-mate to take care of her while he was gone during the day but his schedule was changed and they had to leave her outside on the balcony for 19 hours straight! :o She now has a bladder infection because, being the good little girl that she is, she held going to the bathroom all day until her owners returned. People are so irresponsible! :x

Now both are STILL up for adoption!

bladder infection huh? I sure as hell hope they're paying the vet bill... these people should be sued no joke... 19 hours? That's torture...I would file for animal abuse/neglect :evil: :x :-?

Nope theyre not paying for the vet bills. We get crap like this every once in a while but at least when theyre returned we know theyre in good hands.

Thelma got adopted again and the person who adopted her is a friend of one of the volunteers so its almost certain that it will work out this time! As for Louise people havent seemed interested... :(
