Chase, a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever/American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is about 57 pounds and arrived as an owner surrender earlier this year. The busy and loud shelter is wearing him down, and he's showing clear signs of kennel stress. Chase remembers what it's like to have a family—he's been loved before, and this transition has been hard. Despite these tough circumstances, Chase remains dog-friendly and perks up when he gets outdoor time, especially if there's a kiddie pool to splash in. He prefers canine friends who can keep up with his style of play and listens well to their feedback. On a recent field trip, Chase proved himself to be a decent leash walker and turned heads with his calm curiosity. He visited a local pet shop, sniffed out his favorite soft chews, and then had a mellow outing at the park, calmly letting kids greet him through the fence. Chase is a striking, gentle boy who just needs a quieter home and someone willing to bring him back to his best self. Fun fact: as a Sagittarius, Chase is likely to have an adventurous, open-hearted spirit. Ready to give him a second chance? Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
