About Chance

Chance is a seven-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix with a gentle, reassuring presence. Large and sturdy at about 95 pounds, his striking dark brown and tan coat matches his calm, steady temperament. He has a soft spot for family life and is happiest in the company of his people—resting at your feet, overseeing dinner prep, or dozing quietly in his crate. Despite his imposing size, he is house-trained, neutered, and easy to care for, settling well when left alone and giving polite signals for bathroom breaks. He shines with children and appreciates the regular rhythm of daily life, including consistent mealtimes and relaxed walks where he can explore at his own pace. Chance is both dog and cat-friendly, living harmoniously with neighbors' cats and enjoying the company of familiar dogs. He’s no stranger to structure and thrives on clear boundaries and routines, particularly around food. His list of tricks is long—sit, stay, down, roll over, and more—and he rarely barks, reserving his voice for real security alerts. Recently, Chance began thyroid medication, and it has given him renewed vigor, along with noticeable improvements to his coat. An early riser, he does best with regular grooming and a cozy spot indoors to sleep. Chance is open to a long-distance adoption and will remain with his current family until the right match is found.
