Vinny has been on a long journey in search of his forever family. He’s made remarkable progress recovering from his hip surgeries but still has a few special needs, including managing his goopy eyes and impaired vision. His recent visit to the eye specialist brought good news—his first entropion surgery was a success, and his new eye drops are helping him feel much better.
About Vinny:
- 4-year-old black Chow/Tibetan Mastiff mix; 80 lbs
- Friendly and sweet personality
- Independent
- Loves spending time with his people and always has a smile
- Gets along well with his foster siblings
Vinny’s sight impairment doesn’t hold him back from enjoying life. He loves to run, keep an eye out for squirrels, and go on car adventures. Groomers describe him as a true love bug. Though he may seem independent at first, once he gets to know you, he’ll shower you with affection and loyalty. While he hasn't been tested with other dogs, a careful introduction is recommended as he isn’t dog-reactive. Despite arriving underweight and facing a rough start, Vinny has thrived with love and care, blossoming into a happy and healthy pup. Could you be the one to give Vinny the home he deserves?
**Vinny is located in Houston, TX. Paid transport can be arranged. Transport costs range from $200-400.**

Houston Chow Chow Connection is a collaborative of dog lovers and rescuers that dedicate their time, efforts and talents toward helping rescue Chow Chows in need. We are an entirely volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) organization with no administrative costs.
Our rescue traces its origin back several years to the work of Dianne Watson. Dianne dedicated much of her young life to saving homeless Chows in North and West Texas. In her memory, Houston Chow Chow Connection continues her passion of uniting Chow Chows with perfect forever families.
HCCC began rescuing in 2013 and re-homed over 400 dogs since inception, including over 125 in 2017! Our dogs found homes on the East and West coasts of the U.S. and have traveled north and south! As we continue to rescue and re-home more and more Chows, our costs grow. As you may know, rescuing animals takes money. Not only is there the typical care and upkeep (including food and general veterinary care), some of our rescues need specialized treatments.
At HCCC we don’t pick and choose the dogs we rescue – they pick us. While the majority of our rescues are healthy, we never turn our backs on the homeless, Chows with physical issues, or disabilities. Some of our incoming babies have suffered long-term and extensive neglect. New HCCC dogs may require spay/neuter, shaving due to extensive matting, entropion and/or hip replacement surgeries, treatment of skin problems and a variety of other issues.
