If you have some holiday vacation time now, please stop by your local animal shelter and visit the many pets who have been discarded this Christmas. You'll be amazed at the quality and quantity of pets available. At the behest of a friend, we stopped in at our local animal shelter to check on a discarded pet: the most beautiful and friendly chow I have ever seen. This neutered male chow chow is in good health, intelligent and trainable. He is mostly white with splashes of golden fur across his back;. his sunny disposition matches his gorgeous fur coat.

CHUCHO - ID#A258444 I am a neutered male, fawn Chow Chow. The shelter staff think I am about 1 year and 6 months old. I have been at the shelter since Dec 10, 2004. 
For more information about this animal, call:

Montgomery County Animal Control & Humane Society  at (240) 773-5960
Ask for information about animal ID number A258444

The shelter also has many other purebred dogs, as well as cats and birds, all of whom are blameless in losing their original homes. A patron explained to me that people are in the habit of  'dropping off pets' before driving to the airport...

It sounds farfetched but my own experiences jive with the patron's. A friend of mine called me this week to tell me about an eight year old male chow who was dropped off at his vet's. The family had decided to 'put him down' because he was now eight years old and they had just replaced him with a Christmas puppy! The vet asked for (and received) permission to place the dog in another home.
