About dogs named Chance

• “Very sensitive, calm dog for a husky. Been a Rescue. He is beautiful, kind, loving.“

  — April B.

• “Hello, my name is Chance and I love other dogs (especially my sister Dixie). I am a high energy rottweiler mix who is very sweet and respectful, I listen to my parents for the most part (especially mom). I will most likely pee anywhere I smell another pup but mom is trying to teach me to stop that. I love all people and will try to kiss you. I do good with pups that are socializing because I rarely react to aggression.“

  — Morighan W.

• “I live to chase my ball. Need to play fetch lots of times a day, it is my job. Love to wrestle my sister. I need to run!“

  — Pamela N.

• “Chance is an almost 10 year old golden who loves everyone 🥰 we moved & he no longer has a furry friend at home with him all the time or a dog park at home, so I think he could use some new friends.“

  — Megan S.

• “4 years old male Pit Bull Terrier. He is nurtured. Change is a high energy dog.“

  — noredine y.

• “Chance is a rescue. He had it rough as a pup, now living his best life. He has stranger danger fear, but once he knows you he will kiss your face off and give you the best snuggles of your life. He knows all basic commands and more, but chooses his own path on when he listens, unless you have treats, which is the way to his heart. He has Addison's diseases and corneal edema so he's a bit high maintenance, but he's full of love once you are in his trust circle. We do everything we can do allow him to stress less.“

  — Lindsey B.

• “Chance is a handsome Black Labradoodle. He Is tender and attentive. He loves to be off leash and free. He is known for protecting his Momm and not letting anyone get too close. He is high energy when he wants to be. He will be 7 in October but still acts like he is 2!!“

  — Michelle S.

• “Hi, I’m Chance. I was born December 19, 2019, and I’m a big German Shepherd and Rottweiler mix with a serious face, a gentle side, and strong opinions about personal space. My favorite place is close to my mom. I like to keep her in sight because, frankly, she cannot be trusted without supervision. I love sniffing, exploring, stretching my legs, and watching farm animals. At home, I have my own personal chicken army. They follow me around the yard and hang out with me on the porch. I’ve never hurt a chicken. They’re my friends, loyal followers, and possibly my subjects. I’m starting to decide that some other people are acceptable, but I need time and space to warm up. I also have a very big, scary bark. It sounds dramatic, but it’s mostly how I communicate when I’m unsure or overwhelmed. I’m reactive around unfamiliar dogs and don’t enjoy surprise greetings, shared spaces, or dogs approaching me through a fence. Private, or secure fenced places help me relax. Keep my mom where I can see her, let me explore at my own pace, and I’ll be a very happy dog.“

  — Sarah K.

• “Chance is a black Lab mix who isn't a huge fan of dogs other than his brother and needs time to adjust to new people. He's extremely anxious despite all attempts to remedy and just likes to be in his own world. We have a yard, but sometimes I want a change of scenery for them which can be difficult given his reactivity. Especially when he gets his brother riled up, too. I'm not sure how they do with pools as bathing and a splash pad have been their only experiences with water, but I'm hoping this can be a way to get them out more and help them become more comfortable in the water, too.“

  — Katie R.

• “I'm an 8 month old pup and love play with other dogs my size or larger. I would enjoy a friend to regularly play with!“

  — Natalie S.

• “Hi, my name is chance and I’m a little shy when it comes to humans. I get really excited to play with other dogs that are friendly. I think every dog is friendly and I have a lot of energy which can make others feel overwhelmed. I’m still learning to navigate the world and read other dogs body language.“

  — Mary A.

• “5 year old German Shepherd- protective and needing to explore in a safe place! HOAs are terrible!“

  — Shannon K.

• “Chance is a 13 year old "baby lamb" that just likes being part of the group.“

  — Anthony R.

• “I love to explore always and every place is new again no matter how many times I’ve been there. I love other dogs and people. I am still learning dog body language and social cues.“

  — Jennifer Z.

• “Chance is a four month old lab/hound mix who I found as a stray. He is full of energy and very much still a puppy! He loves to play fetch, tag, and loves meeting new people! He does wonderful with other dogs and cats. He’s all around an amazing/goofy guy!“

  — Haven L.
