About Chance

Meet Chance, a 7-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix in Amherst, MA with expressive eyes and an easy, peaceful energy. This 95-pound, large dog sports a dark brown and tan coat with a gentle guardian’s presence and a mellow approach to life—equal parts lover of backyard patrols and couch naps. He absolutely thrives around family, adores children, and prefers being close to his people—whether at your feet, quietly hanging out during dinner prep, or snoozing contentedly in his crate. He is house-trained, neutered, and fully vaccinated, and comes with transferrable pet insurance. He settles quietly when alone and communicates when he’s ready for a break, making him easy to live with. Chance blends Labrador’s friendly outlook with a Rottweiler’s devotion, showing affection through gentle nudges and a tendency to guide with his nose. He responds best to structure and benefits from a regular routine, especially when food is involved. On leash or off, Chance socializes easily with familiar dogs and gets along with both dogs and cats—he currently enjoys peaceful coexistence with the neighborhood felines and has even played with some. He rises early, enjoys car rides, drinks plenty of water, and requires regular grooming, particularly for his extra dewclaws. Not much of a barker, but delivers a solid alert when needed. He knows a long list of commands and follows them impressively well. Chance recently started thyroid medication and has shown wonderful improvements—more energy, playfulness, and an even brighter personality. His coat, especially his tail, is recovering well, thanks to treatment. He’s seeking a home that offers companionship, clear boundaries, and a comfy place indoors to sleep. Chance is open to long-distance adoption, ready to bring his steady loyalty to a new family. Your new best friend is just one click away.
