Story
This young guy is super fun and a total looker. He’s an athlete for sure….. he just may not know the rules of the game….. but he’s super up to learn! He is really friendly and eager to play, but also just loves getting attention (treats are good too) and knowing what was going on. He seems to be an Akita mix and definitely has that Akita attentiveness. He’s a nice mid size (much smaller than a standard Akita) and has a medium level of fluff. He will need regular brushing to maintain that fluff, and regular exercise to manage his play level. In return, he will be your absolute bestie forever! You will never have a better bestie than him! You also will have a dog photo for any occasion at the ready on your camera roll cuz you’re gonna take so many pictures of this heartbreaker. Tonga will need some basic training and a nice consistent walk/ exercise/play routine.

Story
smokey was in Irvine pound t& they were going to kill him because they said he was aggressive He was not. He was scared and protective while incarcerated. The pound scared him by poling him. He was afraid of them all. His owner went to see him and he was a sweet boy. which surprised them. He was being reactive to other dogs on walks, aggressive however he has been in boot camp for a month and that issue has been worked with. He wants to be good boy and he is. He will need an experienced owner who will know. to keep him confident and be the leader with exercise.. contact adoptachowla@gmail.com

Poor boy was confused and sad but now he is better nd is taking treats from volunteers.Boa Boa is STUNNING.

Adopting a Chinook

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Chinook - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Chinook at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Chinook is typically $50 to $300. This adoption fee often covers an initial exam, microchipping, spay/neuter, and vaccines. In contrast, buying a Chinook from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Chinook is through a rescue that specializes in this rare breed. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Chinooks in your search radius.
