My Name Is CHANCE!

Meet Chance! Looking for His Forever Home
Chance is a handsome, young, energetic boy with a big personality and so much love to give! He absolutely loves playing tug-of-war, spending time with his people, snuggling, and being part of the action. He has a playful spirit and a personality that will keep you smiling.

Over the past three months, Chance has made tremendous progress. With time, patience, and consistency, he will continue making wonderful improvements. He is also crate-trained and does exceptionally well in his crate.

Chance is an intelligent, strong-willed dog who needs an owner willing to continue working with him. He benefits from structure, consistency, clear boundaries, daily exercise, and ongoing training. He is improving on walks with a prong collar, although he still needs work on leash manners. He is also learning to keep all four paws on the ground when greeting people and occasionally gets mouthy or nippy when overly excited or engaged in play.

How is Chance with other animals?

Chance's foster family had cats, and he generally did well living with them. However, when he gets overly excited or playful, he may chase them, so supervision and continued training would be important. When it comes to other dogs, Chance can be selective, and compatibility will depend on the other dog's personality, temperament, and a slow, thoughtful introduction.

Chance has also recently begun showing increased protectiveness of his home and can be reserved or aloof around unfamiliar people. His future family should be comfortable working on these behaviors through continued training and positive, consistent guidance.

What kind of home would be best for Chance?

An active, experienced dog owner who understands energetic, strong-willed dogs.

Someone committed to ongoing training, structure, and consistency.

A home that can provide plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation.

A family willing to work on appropriate introductions and socialization.

A home that understands his protective tendencies and is prepared to help him build confidence and appropriate responses around strangers.

Chance isn't necessarily the dog for everyone, but the right person could make an incredible difference in his life.

We have seen how much he has grown in a relatively short time, and we truly believe he has so much more potential. He deserves someone who sees beyond his rough edges, recognizes the wonderful dog he can become, and is willing to invest the time and patience to help him get there.

Chance is looking for someone who won't give up on him—a person who will give him the structure, guidance, activity, and love he needs to thrive. Could that be you?
