Donation Registry

We truly don't need any gifts. If you feel moved to give, we'd be honored if you considered donating to Houston Chow Chow Connection, a rescue that works tirelessly to save dogs' lives and help them find loving homes. Chows are sadly one of the most abandoned breeds in shelters, and every contribution makes a huge difference.


Ways to Donate:

- Venmo/PayPal: @HCCCHOU

- HCCC Donation Site

Feel free to leave a note that it's in honor of Klaus & Heidi Darling!


They're both Chow rescues who mean the world to us! See some of our favorite memories below.
