(Please bear with us; while most people are able to use this form, there may be some who experience some technical difficulties; if you receive no response from us, please contact us via e-mail or phone)


Adopt-A-Chow Rescue does not adopt out of the immediate area. This is because we can not appropriately perform inspections, etc., nor maintain proper contact with the families that adopt the rescues.

The form must be filled out completely or may be rejected. Any information that has been falisified and is discovered even after adoption, will result in forfeiture of Chow and any fees paid. Be sure to read our Adoption Policies before filling out this form. If after visiting the rest of our site you need further adoption information, e-mail us at Adopt-A-Chow Rescue.


(Chow Rescue is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of Chows in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.)


NOTE! Geocities/Yahoo is presently experiencing a problem with their email forms function. Consequently, if you try sending the form once you have filled it out, it may or may not work. Therefore, once you have filled out the form, please copy it and paste it into an email to be sent to us at chowrescue@cox.net.
