This is Safari! ❤️ She needs a forever home, and we need your help. Please tag a friend that you think may want to be her new forever family. Here are some facts about Safari: -She’s 11 years old. -She’s a blue chow chow. -She’s GREAT with other dogs. -She needs a home with as few stairs as possible. She can walk up stairs but it’s difficult for her so a home without stairs is a plus! . Can you give Safari a forever home? Send me a DM and I’ll give you more information! ❤️ . Photo credit to the incredible and fabulous Sarah of @poochportraitstudio. She volunteers her time by taking photos of rescue pups so please show her some love and support her business! . Also, huge thank you to @roseandrosesdc for the beautiful flower crown. Izzy wore it in the cherry blossom parade but It seemed perfect for Safari! She wore it well! . #dogsofbark #chowchow #chowchowlove
