Kip Conquering the Water Treadmill!
🐾 Kip Update: Strides to Strength! 🐾
Every rescue dog has a story, and Kip is no exception. Two weeks ago, Kip came to HCCC after getting hit by a car. Today he’s getting the care he deserves.
Kip is making great progress— last week he went for his first PT visit. Look at him conquering the water therapy treadmill! He was quite vocal about it (he’s a typical Chow and generally has an opinion on everything). Afterwards, he walked through the lobby to the car. He happily walks on leash three times a day and will move to longer walks next week. His confidence is growing each day!
Kip has PT every week until the end of the year, then his vet will re-assess and make a decision about surgery. If you recall, he has multiple fractures in his back legs and what we believe is a capital hip fracture, serious injuries that require extensive orthopedic surgery. It’s going to take time and effort, but we’re committed. And we want you to be part of his journey.
Here’s how you can help:
💙 Donate to Kip’s medical fund—your support will go directly toward his surgery and recovery. Paypal: paypal.me/hccchou / Venmo: @hcccho
💙 Follow along—we will continue to share updates on Kip. You’ll see the impact of your support in action.
💙 Spread the word—share Kip’s story and bring together a community of care for this brave boy.
💙 Prepare for his future—while Kip isn’t available for adoption yet, if you’re interested in making him part of your family, we encourage you to fill out an adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/41173109602142
Kip's journey is just beginning, and we're building it together. Your generosity and kindness will help him reach his happily ever after.
Stay tuned—Kip is about to show us what it truly means to overcome.

In Loving Memory of Finnegan ❤️
When Finnegan came to us, all he had was a small box and a heart full of uncertainty. We told him we loved him from the start, but he wasn’t ready to believe it—until one day, he did. He showed us what was in that box: a smile that shone like sunlight ☀️ and a heart full of moonlight 🌙.
This morning, our sweet boy didn’t wake up, leaving a hole in our hearts that will never heal 💔. We will treasure him always, knowing he was a Very Good Boy.
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here.
Soft southern wind,
Blow gently here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart.
Good night
We are so thankful to Shannon, his foster mom writing the beautiful tribute will forever honor Finnegan’s memory.
She even had an ornament (pictured below) made for him, a special piece to celebrate the boy he became—but sadly, it’s one he’ll never get to see.
Rest well, Finnegan. You’ll always be remembered. 🕊️

Imagine a sweet Chow abandoned alone in a hotel parking lot with only a bag of food and no collar. After her owners drove away according to some witnesses, she stayed behind, waiting and hoping they would return, but BARC arrived before we could. She was then tagged and we we’re able to get her. When Sophia found her, Bon bon was so distressed that she cried and wouldn’t leave the spot, still waiting for her owners to come back.
Thanks to Sophia’s urgent post and the caring help of her foster dad, Harrison, we were able to rescue Bon Bon—thanks to the hundreds of people who shared her story! It truly takes a village, and this is proof that miracles do happen.
Bon Bon is now safe and starting a new chapter, but her journey isn’t over. We need your help to cover her daily expenses, including medical care, vet visits, and grooming needs.
Donate today to support her recovery and help her find a loving forever home. ❤️

Life moves pretty fast—don’t blink or you might miss Laquinta!
This sweet 1-year-old, weighing 45 pounds, has come a long way and is ready to start a new chapter. But since her last update, Lala is ready to turn the page and start a new chapter—she’s officially available for adoption! (📍Magnolia, TX)
For those unfamiliar with her story, Lala came to us from the New Braunfels shelter, carrying the marks of her past—severe hair loss on her back, likely caused by chemical burns. Despite it all, she remains incredibly gentle and loving. We’ve learned she’s afraid of thunder, but her little thunder jacket helps calm her fears. Water on her back still brings tears to her eyes, a painful reminder of the trauma she’s survived. Yet through it all, Lala has shown nothing but love and patience, thanks to the incredible care of her Super Foster Mom, Dawn!
Her hair has grown back beautifully, a symbol of her strength. Lala is very people-oriented, always eager to be close to someone who will finally give her the love she deserves. She’s also a big fan of saying hello and gets especially excited during mealtime—her favorite part of the day!
If interested, please fill out an adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/41173109602142
*Note for potential adopters: We can arrange transportation to various locations across the U.S. and parts of Canada. Let’s make her story go viral and find him a home that’s as special as she is!
Ganon wants to remind you…
Yep, he’s still here, showing off his best teddy bear pose 🧸 to win you over. This big-hearted 3 yr old blue chow is bursting with personality and has been working hard on his leash skills—he’s getting better every day and loving his daily walks. He’s also been learning how to be around other dogs, but Ganon would love to be the star of the show as your one-and-only pup!Got chicken or cheese? He’s all in. He’s picky about treats but can’t resist those, though he’s perfectly happy with his kibble, too! Around the house, Ganon’s the ideal guest—no accidents, no mess. And if there are no other dogs, you won’t even need to worry about crate training! This Texas boy loves a good game of tennis ball in small bursts! He even has a few tricks up his paw—his signature hind-leg stand will definitely steal your heart!

🚨 Update on Louise!🚨
Yesterday, we reached out to you—our HCCC community—after a heartbreaking discovery at the vet. Louise had stopped eating, and we quickly learned that her kidney values were dangerously high.
Behind the scenes at the vet, Louise is receiving IV fluids. We’re anxiously waiting for her kidney values to stabilize, hoping and praying that there aren’t any other underlying issues complicating her recovery.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've raised over $700 for Louise's urgent care. However, we're not out of the woods yet. We still need your help to reach our goal and ensure Louise gets the full care she needs to recover, as her vet bill surpassed $1000.
Each donation brings us one step closer to giving her the chance she so richly deserves. Your continued support can make all the difference in her recovery.
👉 **Will you help us give Louise a fighting chance?** Your generosity can turn the tide and help us help her.

Meet our newest rescue, Sasha, who has a tough journey ahead. Most likely dumped by her family, she ended up as a stray in a shelter before finding her way to us. Sasha is a very sweet girl, and we urgently need your help to fund her medical needs, grooming, vet, and boarding. She will undergo bilateral entropion surgery and is experiencing severe anal discomfort. We’re also testing for other potential health issues. Despite her challenges, she’s HW negative and younger than we thought.
We desperately need your support to cover the rising costs of her care. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly towards her medical expenses, boarding, vet and grooming costs!
Help us help Sasha reach her $1,300 goal🙏—your help is vital to Sasha’s journey.
