About Chance

Chance is a 4-year-old Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix searching for her forever home. Having previously known the comfort of a home, she eagerly anticipates a new chance at a stable, loving environment. This smart girl delights in playing with her Nylabones, believes food is the ultimate solution, and enjoys leisurely walks where she can explore with her nose. While Chance behaves well with other dogs and is house-trained, her extreme fear of thunderstorms limits her. In moments of stormy weather, she can become so anxious that she may harm herself or become destructive. Therefore, she's looking for an adopter who lives outside of Florida—or someone who is home most of the time and can help her feel safe during storms. Chance is full of love and humor, despite her fears. She's eager to find someone who will understand and support her through tough moments. With proper management and a patient adopter, she can flourish. Click apply to start the adoption process.
