— Young, Sweet, and Saved!
Chowder’s story is one of heartbreaking survival—and unshakable spirit. She was rescued from a nightmare: a filthy, feces-covered home where 20 dogs inside the home and 8 cats who were locked in a single bedroom, without litter boxes, fresh air, or even basic care. The conditions were so severe, police and animal control officers could barely breathe as they worked to save the animals trapped inside.

But Chowder made it out.

Despite everything she endured, she remains a loving, sweet, and joyful girl—a true miracle of resilience. She just wants to be near people, to play, to be hugged, to be safe. Her heart is wide open, ready to give love to the family she’s never had.

Tragically, after surviving such cruelty, Chowder ended up on the kill list at an overcrowded Georgia shelter—another innocent life almost lost to a broken system. But this time, her story turned around. Save-A-Pet USA stepped in and brought her to safety.

Chowder is now spayed, fully vetted, and waiting—with hopeful eyes and a wagging tail—for someone to give her the home she has always deserved.

If you’ve ever considered adopting, let Chowder show you just how much love a rescued heart can give.
