About Chance

Chance is a young, vibrant American Bulldog mix who's eager for a true forever home. At just over a year old, he's already proven himself to be a quick study—he knows how to sit, stay, lie down, and even touch your hand. He's housebroken, crate-trained, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. In short, he's set up for success. Chance has a lot of playful energy and loves both running around and curling up for a nap. Toys are a particular favorite, and he happily entertains himself but really comes alive with human attention. While he enjoys the company of his foster family's senior dog, Chance is likely happiest as the only pet in the home—he can be leash reactive and tends to fixate on neighborhood cats, so a single-animal setup will serve him best. He’s very people-friendly and may do well with older children, though his enthusiasm could be overwhelming for very young kids. He's currently waiting in Wilton, CA, hoping for an adopter who craves adventure but also values evenings on the couch. Give this resilient, charming dog the stable, loving home he’s been waiting for. Click apply to start the adoption process.
