At approximately 7 years old and just 40 pounds, Evangeline is quiet, gentle, and wonderfully low maintenance. She is fully house trained, crate trained, and respectful in the home. She doesn't need long walks, constant entertainment, or a busy lifestyle.
She simply wants to belong.
A porch to sit on.
A peaceful home.
A person to share life with.
Evangeline enjoys the company of other dogs and is happy to peacefully coexist with dogs of any size or gender. She loves being part of the group, quietly observing the action and joining in when she chooses. And when she loves you, she loves deeply.
She still appreciates a calm environment and patient people. Sudden movements, loud chaos, and busy households can make her uneasy, so she would do best in an adult home or one with older, respectful teenagers.
The beautiful thing about Evangeline is that we've watched her learn to trust again. Over the past six months she has bonded with multiple caregivers, proving that beneath her cautious Chow exterior is an incredibly sweet soul who wants connection just as much as any other dog.
Her autoimmune eye condition has improved tremendously during her time in rescue. She will continue to need prescription eye ointment every few days to keep her comfortable—a small commitment for a dog who asks for so very little in return.
Today her coat is thick and soft. Her eyes are brighter. Her tail wags more often. She looks like a little bear. But what we see is a survivor.
A dog who endured more than she ever should have.
A dog who never stopped trying.
A dog who is finally ready to be somebody's beloved companion.
Some dogs are looking for adventure. Evangeline is simply looking for home.
