About:
“The great chowder debate” refers to the historic culinary rivalry between New England style and Manhattan style clam chowder, which has prompted annual chowder festivals and competitions around the country! You might think of it as a tamale festival, but east-coast style! Whether you’re a New England or Manhattan fan, or you hate seafood altogether, you’re in luck-we have a Chowder that blows them all out of the water! Meet our resident silly baby boy, Chowder! His volunteer friends think he’s a pretty perfect puppy, with one telling us:

“Chowder is a super goofball! He is a high-energy, playful, fun-loving puppy! I spent time with him in a play yard today and he just wanted to run and play, play, play! After running around with his kennelmate and burning up some energy, he came over for snuggles and was soon on his back next to me, enjoying belly rubs! He was curious about the dogs and people around, eager to explore and say hello. He’s a jolly boy!”

Chowder shares his kennel with another PACC pup and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. Whether you call him “Chowd-UH’,” New England style, or hit that strong -er with “Chowd-ER,” Chowder doesn't care- as long as you also call him yours!! Ask to meet Chowder today!


Available for foster care (30+ days) or adoption through PACC.
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the COB Thursday October 29th, 2026 deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with.


Home Management Plan
SNA B:
1)Dog Introduction Required:
• Reason: Dog selective with males; altercation and potential to tip in playgroup
• Slow, Structured Introductions: Introductions must be gradual and carefully managed in neutral territory. Monitor all body language closely, and end sessions on a positive note.
• Muzzle Training: It is recommended to condition Chowder to a comfortable basket muzzle before introductions. This provides safety and allows for positive experiences during early meetings.
• No Dog Parks: Chowder should not attend dog parks or other uncontrolled environments. These settings can overwhelm or trigger negative interactions, making progress more difficult.
• Behaviors could improve with proper management and/or professional training.

2)Dog Selective - dog selective with males:
• Required Dog Meetings: Chowder must meet all resident dogs prior to adoption to ensure compatibility.
• Selective Play Style: They prefer to choose their own friends - they may get along well with some dogs but not with all dogs. Introductions should be monitored closely for positive body language and relaxed interactions.
• Muzzle Training: Conditioning them to a muzzle before introductions is recommended. This provides an added layer of safety while keeping initial meetings low-stress.
• No Dog Parks: Chowder should not attend dog parks or other uncontrolled social settings. These environments can lead to negative experiences and may set back progress.
• Behaviors could improve with proper management and/or professional training.
