Meet Chance! He is about 5.5 year-old German Shepherd mix who came to the shelter as a stray in an extremely emaciated condition. But he's quite healthy now, weighing in at 95 pounds. Chance is also a very smart dog! He walks well on a leash and knows basic commands (sit, down, shake) and he waits upon command at a street or driveway for crossing. He enjoys playing fetch and even catches the ball in mid-air! With proper, supervised introductions, Chance would do fine in a home with a female dog friend around his age. Chance loves playing in yard with his best dog friend Ari (HSNB Alum). He acts like a puppy with her; staff and volunteers think its adorable. This sweet, funny, amazing guy has been at our shelter for over a year with very little interest and those of us who know Chance can't understand why. If you think you might want to give Chance a safe warm forever home, please visit our website at www.hsnb.org to fill out an adoption interest application. Chance's adoption fee will be discounted thanks to a generous sponsorship grant from the 15/10 Foundation! His fee helps us cover his neuter, microchip, and shots, including rabies. He's eagerly awaiting a best friend, could that be you?

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
