Thank you all for your feedback on the best date for this event! I'm so sorry if it isn't best for everyone, but we hope to see as many of you as possible ♥️
We will meet at the Run Free Dog Fields - Castlecary between 12.30pm and 2.30pm. Hopefully, this should be quite central for most people 🥰
Please be aware that parking will be tight, so please try to squeeze in where you can!
We are so excited to spend time with you all and your Chowdren! Non Chow brothers and sisters are, of course, welcome! Thank you for supporting us in so many ways!

‼️‼️IMPORTANT‼️‼️
Unfortunately, the home we had lined up for these girls, have been in touch, and they do not feel they are ready to take on this commitment after losing their girl last year.
There are no negative feelings towards these people at all! They have made the best decision for them at this time, and we appreciate them thinking about what is best for the girls in the long run!
They have also made a huge donation to help us to continue to care for the girls.
At this point, we are considering rehoming them individually 💔 but we have not made any final decisions as yet. We have spoken with a behaviourist and trainer who is confident the girls would still thrive being apart from the other 💕
If we do decide to rehome them separately, they could likely be homes with one other dog.

I was doing the maths on the bank account, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you all!
At the end of 2023, we had £1167.64
On the first of April 2024 (before Taco and Bear/Porridge), we had £2337.99
We spent £911.77 on care for these two wonderful chows but thanks to some wonderful people (including Taco and Bears new humans), and money gained through the easy fundraising app, we have raised a total of £1243.08 in the past two months!
We did have some additional small outgoings for other chows, costs, etc, totalling £193.46
This means that we now have £2805.84 available to support Scottish Chows looking for new homes! This is an amazing achievement in 15 months, and I'm so thankful for you all ♥️

Porridge is doing so well! 🥰🥰🥰
He has settled in so well with his new family, and it makes my heart so happy to see him gaining confidence so quickly!

‼️‼️Important! Please read!‼️‼️
We are going to be taking a short break from Scottish Chow Rescue due to a very unexpected death in the family.
We will be back to normal fully by the 27th of May.
If anyone has any immediate issues, please do just get in touch and I will see what I can do.
However, if you can hold off a week or two, that would be hugely appreciated ♥️
We are happy to continue getting updates about Chows we have rehomed though and are happy to provide assistance to their new families throughout this time!
Thank you so much to everyone who stopped to speak with us at the Dundonald Show today! It was great to meet so many people who were interested in learning more about the breed ♥️
We had a couple of people ask about making a donation so I just wanted to put up a wee reminder of our details in case anyone wants them! As you know, we do not charge a set rehoming fee so we rely on donations to support chows that need a bit more help (just like Taco) ♥️

Just to let you all know, we are going away for a few days and I might not have the best signal.
I will return any calls and messages as soon as I can though.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any updates about your Chows or if we can help with anything! ❤️

Edit: We have not confirmed that we can help yet due to the costs but we are hoping we will be able to raise some funds to help Bear and commit to rehoming him. I did originally direct the charity in Turkey to rescues who work with imported chows but they do not have the capacity to help at this time.
@followers This is an unusual post for us and it will not be a normal thing but we felt we had to do something for this sweet boy.
We have been contacted by a UK registered charity called Animal Friends of Turkey as they have taken in an abandoned black/blue chow at their sanctuary in Turkey recently. He was abandoned when he was no longer the little fluff ball he was as a pup.
The charity who have taken him in, think he is still very young, has no health issues and will have all his health checks before coming over to Scotland. He will not be able to travel for another 2 or 3 months due to travel regulations etc. It would also cost roughly £1600 to bring him here. I have asked for an exact cost to ensure we are being fully transparent.
Animal friends of Turkey have said they will pay his vet costs there etc and they will try to raise some money towards his travel but we would need to raise as much as possible as well.
That being said, would anyone be interested in adopting this Chow from Turkey? And would anyone be willing to contribute financially to bringing him here to find his furever home?
As I say, this is not something we will be doing regularly as our focus in chows in Scotland who need help but there is no one else to help this boy at the moment.
Just a wee update for @followers!
We have been very fortunate to not have had many Chows looking for a home over the festive period but we have had some people contact us about adopting! Hopefully this means we will be able to rehome chows that come to us more quickly going forward :)
I also wanted to give a happy update on the two boys who we were lucky enough to rehome with us! They are the best of friends and the both love their fluffy mum (Maya) ♥️
Wee Ozzi was so timid when he came to us 4 months ago and he has come out of his shell hugely! He is such a loving soul! I honestly believe Remi has had a lot to do with that because they love running around together and getting into mischief! Remi is happy as ever and is such a cheeky monkey 🐒
Maya isn't a new addition but she has done so well with her boys and has been so much more patient than I could have ever even hoped!
