About Chance

Meet Chance – a sweet boy learning to love life! Chance is an 8-month-old Shepherd mix who has come a long way since his rescue from a hoarding situation in Lemont. Initially timid about the world around him, he has made fantastic progress in foster care. It’s heartwarming to see him gradually come out of his shell and gain the confidence to explore his surroundings and enjoy the little joys life has to offer. This gentle, loving boy can be shy when meeting new people or going to new places. With a patient touch, his sweet personality shines through. He adores affection and would happily cuddle for hours. Chance prefers a quieter home without the chaos of very young children, as he feels more comfortable having a confident canine companion around. He does well with dogs and has interacted positively with teenagers. Chance has a calm demeanor and enjoys short play sessions followed by relaxation on the couch. He loves chew toys and observing the world through the window. He’s also potty-trained, knows commands like "sit" and "come," and has a playful bounce when he runs, especially when he tilts his adorable head while being spoken to. This boy is fully vetted and ready for a family that understands the value of patience and encouragement. His ideal home has a tranquil environment and another friendly dog. Chance will reward your kindness by continuing to discover the world around him. A future of possibilities awaits—could you be the one to help him grow? Once your application is approved, we can schedule an appointment to meet him in Chicago's southwest suburbs.
