Attention NTCR Community
We are temporarily closing intake for NON-NTCR cats. Our resources and space are limited. If your cat is not from NTCR, you can contact the shelter or rescue where you adopted them or explore other rehoming options.
 
For Those Surrendering NTCR Cats
Please do not abandon them or take to other shelters.
If you adopted your cat from NTCR and need to surrender them, please schedule an appointment with us (See link under the Adoption column). We may have a waiting list for openings in our foster homes, so your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you for understanding and supporting our mission!

Chow Chow
One of the oldest breeds, this bearlike dog is known for his independent nature.
Height: 17 to 20 inches at shoulder
Weight: 40 to 70 pounds
Coat: thick, rough or smooth
Life span: 12 to 15 years
Breed Group: Working Dogs
This distinctive-looking dog has a proud, independent spirit that some describe as catlike. He can be aloof--if you're looking for a cuddle buddy, this probably isn't the best breed for you--and downright suspicious of strangers. But for the right person, he's a fiercely loyal companion.
