To rescue animals from situations that are abusive, endangering or neglectful. Succeeding in meeting the hopes and dreams of potential adopters by matching them with deserving homeless and displaced Chow Chows in need of new forever homes. 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 950 dogs since inception. Our dogs found homes on the East and West coasts of the U.S. and have traveled north and south even into Canada! As we continue to rescue and re-home more and more Chows, our costs grow. Not only is there the typical care and upkeep , some of our rescues need specialized treatments.
