About Chance

Chance is a charming puppy at just 3.5 months old and weighing around 15 lbs. His captivating eyes and distinctive ears suggest he has some Shepherd in his lineage, with hints of Terrier or Hound in that delightful coat of brindle. Having been well socialized in his foster home, he gets along wonderfully with young kids, cats, and other dogs, making him an ideal family companion. He’s playful, curious, and just exudes that joyful puppy spirit. Chance faced tough times with a severe case of mange, but thanks to his young age and loving care, his skin healed beautifully, transforming him into the lovable dog he is today. As he embarks on this new chapter of life, he’ll need guidance on puppy manners, including what to chew on and where to go to the bathroom. Smart and food-motivated, he has learned the fun parts of being a puppy—especially when toys are involved! Chance is ready to leave behind the challenges and embrace all the good things life has to offer.
