About Chance

My name is Chance, I am 4.5 months and 19 lbs. I am a chunky monkey and a *handsome* fella. I have a beautiful thick, soft coat and piercing green eyes. We believe I am a Shepherd mix and perhaps cattle dog. I came to a shelter with a very painful case of mange. I was unrecognizable at first so we had no idea what I would turn out to be. Needless to say, I have healed and now thriving. First off - I am SMART and I am such a character. I am incredibly trainable and ready to learn and do whatever you need me to do. Puppy classes? Basic obedience? I will be your star student. I am a worker so the level I could go with my obedience probably have no end. I love other dogs and could easily have a dog sibling. However, I seem to be even more focused on my humans. I bond quickly. I am great with cats and kids of all ages. Please note though - I am going through my teething phase so little arms and legs beware. This too shall pass once my teeth decide to cooperate! I also do have some herding tendencies which will probably remain as that is part of who I am. I am a toy fan and can actually entertain myself for quite a bit playing by myself. However, when I am done, I will let you know. I will ask you to engage and perhaps play fetch. I am great at fetch. I even drop the ball at your feet. Tug - I love that too. I bet I could learn the frisbee. I am crate trained (excellent in my crate), sleep through the night and housebroken. I also tell you when I have to go (which is often - I am a baby!). I am also an excellent co-pilot and ride happily in the front seat for school pick-up. The most important thing? I love to be hugged and cuddled. I will also tell you when I want to be lifted on the couch for nap. I am truly an affectionate little guy and loyal at that. My foster family is constantly entertained by my antics. I will keep my owners on their toes but reward you with so much love and really a full life as a dog owner. Single family homes only please!
