Meet Muffy! This sweet, golden-coated Chow Chow is about six and a half years young and is looking for a new loving home after her devoted pet parent passed away. Muffy has a quiet charm and an old soul, preferring to observe the world from a cozy corner or the fresh air of a securely fenced yard before she fully opens her heart. Once she does, you'll find a deeply loyal friend who offers high-fives, twirls with grace, and quietly becomes your biggest fan. Muffy is a medium-sized beauty, weighing in at 50 pounds, and is the very definition of "selectively social." She's a fan of peaceful walks, forest hikes, and engaging trick sessions. Her cue repertoire is impressive, including spin, wave, and even heel. While she can be shy with new faces, Muffy has the heart of a loyal guardian and just needs time, patience, and a calm environment to truly blossom. This lovely girl is house-trained, spayed, vaccinated, and beautifully behaved indoors. She's also quite independent and doesn't mind being left alone for short periods. She loves her daily Greenie and enjoys a good brushing to maintain her plush coat. She does have one cautionary tale in her history, a single bite incident involving an unleashed dog who ran up to her, but in her daily life, Muffy is calm, observant, and deeply sweet with the people she trusts. She needs structure, not chaos; softness, not force; and a caregiver who sees the beauty in moving at her pace.
Ideal Home
Muffy thrives in a quiet, cat-free home with one or two experienced adults who understand her need for routine, space, and gentle encouragement. She's not a fan of fast-moving chaos or surprise greetings from strangers, so children and busy households aren't the right fit. Though selective with other dogs, she has formed bonds with a few, so a laid-back canine sibling might be on her list, provided proper introductions are handled slowly and respectfully. A securely fenced yard is a must.

Muffy is spayed and vaccinated.
