(Amendment: Hedgeville Hounds won't be able to foster ChuCho after, due to the fact that he can dig under fences. He still needs a foster home and preferably, one that will keep him as an indoor dog and not one which would leave him unsupervised outside. He is an 'escape artist'.)

Yesterday, I received a call from Hedgesville Hounds, a rescue organization with an uncommon commitment to placing homeless dogs in loving homes. Hedgesville Hounds will help ChuCho, a homeless chow chow, until the perfect home is found for him. Thank you! Of course, ChuCho would never have had that chance for a second home, without the support of our local Humane Society in Rockville, Maryland, which works with animal rescue organizations in our area.

If you want to help Hedgeville Hounds with their mission, they need foster homes, donations, volunteers AND of course, adoptions. I hope someone wonderful adopts ChuCho; he's a magnificent, white chow chow with a joyful personality. Hedgeville Hounds will be featured on Animal Planet:
