Bogie, a beautiful Japanese Chin, is waiting for a palace to call his own! This gorgeous one year old came in to an overcrowded shelter as an owner surrender when his family moved overseas. Due to limited space, rescuers asked the Santa Cruz SPCA to come to his aid and within days he was on a transport to Santa Cruz with several other dogs.
Despite his confusion and stress at having lost his home, when he arrived staff and volunteers were impressed with his wonderful demeanor and even temperament. He has now settled in and spends his days wowing people with his regal good looks. From his silky coat to his velvet ears, this is a dog that you will want to stroke and pamper!
As a breed, Chins are the dogs of Japanese royalty and are known for being wonderful companions and lap dogs. The Chin is considered the most cat-like of dog breeds though they are also renowned for their ability to learn tricks and their love of entertaining people. They have a very soft low maintenance coat which requires little more than regular brushing. You will win if you adopt this Chin!
