Chinook Rescue

Chinook Rescue Chinook Rescue is dedicated to providing a safe and secure home to Chinooks and Chinook cross breeds Chinooks are an extremely rare heritage sled dog.

With as few as 8 breedable dogs in the 1980s, they were listed by the Guinness World Records as being the "rarest' breed of dog. Currently with upwards of 1200 Chinooks world wide and a network of extremely focused breeders, it is thankfully very rare that a Chinook would require being rescued, but for those difficult times when it is needed, we are here to help keep those dogs in the Chinook community.

Anyone out there interested in a Chinook-alike? Bonnie is 6 yrs old, spayed, fully up to date on all healthcare and shots. She is a good girl who is playful and well-natured. She is house-trained and knows some commands. She currently lives in Northeast Arkansas. The current foster family believes her to be a Chinook that was originally adopted from a Shelter. So if there is anyone out there who thinks they know about a missing Chinook in the area, please contact us.

Chinook Rescue has been informed of an adult Chinook in need of a new forever home!
CH ‘PR’ Spook Nook Kala is a gorgeous black and tan girl with demonstrated athletic ability. She is both UKC and AKC registered and has earned coursing awards: CA (Coursing Ability); CAA (Coursing Ability Advanced); and is one Qualifying run away from CA Excellent
Kala just turned 8 in October and is currently in NJ. Kala is being rehomed because she is not able to get along with her canine housemate. While she has shown absolutely no aggression towards people and no aggression towards other dogs, she has become aggressive towards the other family dog. This issue did not start until she had a litter of puppies, and it is felt to be related to maternal instinct that was exacerbated by hormonal changes after her spay procedure.
We are seeking a home where Kala is the only dog. Also, she has a high prey drive so she will be best served in a home that does not cats. She adores children, but would prefer a home without children under 10.
Kala wants everyone to know that she is a good girl who has never actually injured her canine housemate, she just simply wants to remind the pesky dog that she is the boss. And she is the best behaved girl ever when she is out and about on a leash.
If you are ready to enter into that special relationship that results from bonding with a mature girl who has already overcome all of those annoying puppy issues (house training/chewing/obedience) then Kala is your girl!
If you are interested in adopting Kala please contact Jean Bouteiller at 860-671-1313 or Brenda Dean at 207-344-7996

**UPDATE**

Thanks to the collective efforts of probably a dozen people, Adjo is settling into his new home. Thank you to everyone who offered help and hope. The Chinook community is a special place.
____________________________________________

Callicoon Adjo is looking for a forever home. His owner passed away recently, and although arrangements had been made for him to go to a terrific home, living with small children is not a good match for him.

Adjo is 10 years old, and turning 11 at the end of December. He was deeply treasured by his original owner. He is sweet, funny, opinionated, and a good cuddler. He will need a quiet home with lots of love and doting from his new human(s). He has lived with another Chinook for several years, but it's not clear how he will do with unfamiliar dogs. Cats are also an unknown. No small children.

He does have mild to moderate hip dysplasia, so lots of stairs would not be optimal.

If you'd like to learn more about Adjo, please message me here or email [email protected].

He is open for placement immediately, but there are some folks that have offered to short-term foster if necessary.
