I thought Chow when we first found her too, then a bunch of people said they didn't think she has any Chow in her... I contacted all the Boxer rescues I could find in the Carolinas, but perhaps I could try the Chow ones too.
As far as my landlord goes, he "doesn't want the carpet to get torn up".
He has a "one dog limit" and he "doesn't understand" why we can't take her to the SPCA. Uh, maybe because she'll be put down? When we first took her in, we thought about giving her to the SPCA, because we thought they were no kill. Turns out that they are most definitely a kill shelter. The woman at the intake facility said, "If you care about this dog, don't bring her here". That's all I needed to know.
It's okay Doggies4, just send us some good thoughts!
