Meet CHAZ - No Ordinary Extraordinary Cur!
CHAZ has found love after owners left him to die. A gorgeous "black-mouthed cur" with huge heart and intelligence and a mature peaceful nature. We're looking for a special human heart to win his!

Devore Animal Shelter, San Bernardino County, California
“Chaz” was dropped off at Devore Animal Shelter in San Bernardino by his owners on March 12, 2013. They said they wanted him killed ("put to sleep") because they had to move to a place where they couldn’t have him. Fortunately for Chaz, the shelter staff decided that wasn’t what Chaz needed or wanted, so they decided to hold him for the required five days until they could legally release him for adoption.
The shelter called Chaz a 10-year-old neutered male red shepherd mix. Well, they were right about the neutered male part. Now, about six weeks later, he looks years younger and much healthier than he did when we pulled him from the shelter. We see some very fine “black-mouthed cur” with maybe bits of shepherd and chow in him. Most of all, we see now a strong and handsome, quiet, gentlemanly dog with a huge heart, and a dog who has let go of his heavy heart and is becoming a joyful, happy, secure canine family member.

If you are interested in learning more about Chaz, email us -- we’ll be happy to tell you more and send you more photos and videos. We’re sure that he’ll get along with pets in your family, but we wouldn’t be surprised if he would give chase to passing rabbits or cats who are not in his family. We suggest you do some research on black-mouthed curs, and discover a fabulous kind of dog that has managed to elude the AKC books but ranks right up there with the best. Chaz has all the heart and loyalty and intelligence of the best shepherds and chows, too. And the maturity of a true gentleman. It’s no secret -- we’re smitten with him. So forgive us if we ask a lot of questions about you if you aspire to win Chaz’s love! We want the best for both of you.
Lots of photos are in the article below. Enjoy the change in Chaz's demeanor and the joy in his life!
