Chance

Meet Chance!

Chance is a seven-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix, approximately 95 pounds, with a handsome dark brown and tan coat. His striking eyes and calm, laidback presence bring a sense of peace to any day. He truly loves being near his people, whether he's resting at your feet, supervising dinner preparations from his designated spot, or softly snoring in his crate. He is house-trained, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and his pet insurance is transferable. He settles very well when left alone and politely lets you know when it's time for a potty break.

Ideal Home

Chance thrives in a family environment and does well with children. He enjoys relaxed daily walks, including long 'sniffaris' where he can investigate every tree and lamppost. He does beautifully both on and off leash with familiar dogs and is compatible with other dogs and cats, currently coexisting peacefully with neighborhood cats and even sharing playful moments with them. He requires a cozy indoor sleeping space.

Ongoing Health

Chance recently began thyroid medication, and the positive changes have been wonderful to see! He is more energized, playful, and engaged, showing a renewed zest for life. His coat is improving as well, with hair growing back on his tail, a reassuring sign that his treatment is helping him feel his best.

Training & Support

Chance benefits from clear boundaries and structured routines, especially around food. He is ruled by his nose. He is an early riser around 5:00 to 5:30 a.m. and appreciates consistent mealtimes. He is not a frequent barker, though he will offer a big alert if someone approaches. He knows an impressive list of commands such as sit, stay, down, come, roll over, shake, go lay down, walk fast, and even “time for bed.” He requires regular grooming, including care for his extra dewclaws.
