Meet Chance!
Chance is a handsome seven-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix, with a few other breeds sprinkled in, who weighs about 95 pounds. His striking eyes and calm, laidback presence make every day feel more peaceful. He carries his dark brown and tan coat like a gentle guardian of the backyard and the couch alike. Chance is house-trained, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and his transferable pet insurance can support his continued care. He settles very well when left alone and politely lets you know when it is time for a potty break.
Ideal Home
Chance thrives in a family environment and truly loves being near his people. Whether he is resting at your feet, supervising dinner preparations from his designated kitchen doorway spot, or softly snoring in his crate, his steady companionship is a gift. He is compatible with other dogs and cats, and he has even shared playful moments with neighborhood cats.
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 that makes his personality shine even brighter. 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 requires regular grooming, including care for his extra dewclaws.
Training & Support
With his blend of Labrador friendliness and Rottweiler devotion, Chance is both affectionate and attentive. He may gently nudge with his nose to help guide you. He 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 does beautifully both on and off leash with familiar dogs. 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.
