Chance is a male, neutered, large-breed mix who arrived at the shelter with a noticeable limp. At about a year old, he’s already faced a significant challenge: a chronic fracture in his right hip joint, which has led to muscle loss in his leg and requires an FHNO surgery to relieve his pain. He’s also developing mild arthritis in his left hip. Thanks to his dedicated foster, Chance’s surgery is planned at UC Davis by mid-November, after which he’ll need a committed adopter willing to guide him through post-op rehab and a careful recovery. This is a smart, young dog who’s made it through a rough start—he’ll need continued support and patience, but he’s ready for a future full of second chances. Ready to meet your new best friend?
