Chance is a seven-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix with a few other breeds sprinkled in. He's a handsome large boy, weighing about 95 pounds, with a striking gaze and a calm, laid-back presence that brings peace to any day. His dark brown and tan coat makes him look like a gentle guardian, equally at home in the backyard or snuggled on the couch. Chance thrives in a family environment and gets along wonderfully with children. He truly loves being near his people, whether he's resting at your feet, supervising dinner preparations from his spot at the kitchen doorway, or softly snoring in his crate. His steady companionship is a gift. He is house-trained, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and even has transferable pet insurance to support his continued care. He settles very well when left alone and politely lets you know when it's time for a potty break.
Ideal Home
Chance would do well in a family environment and enjoys being around people. He needs 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. He also has extra dewclaws that require regular grooming.
Training & Support
Chance benefits from clear boundaries and structured routines, especially around food. He is ruled by his nose and enjoys relaxed daily walks, including long 'sniffaris' where he can investigate every tree and lamppost. 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 is not a frequent barker, though he will offer a big alert if someone approaches. He is an early riser (around 5:00-5:30 a.m.) and appreciates consistent mealtimes.
