Chance is a 5-year-old social butterfly who loves to snuggle! He truly loves everyone and wants to be with his people as much as possible. Chance loves to go for rides in the car and is a little hesitant around water until he feels comfortable then loves to swim. Chance knows his commands but could use some refreshers on manners, he gets excited and jumps and pulls on his leash. Because of this we are looking for a home with older children only, he may knock over smaller kids. He will chase cats for fun and loves to play with other dogs- under supervision. He tends to be too much for some dogs. if you're looking for someone to keep you warm through the winter and on adventures all year round, this is your guy! Chance has shown us that he really (like REALLY) loves his people and cannot be without them. He would benefit from crate training or better yet, he goes wherever you go! Chance has previously become destructive when left free in a home alone. We think he gets really upset and afraid that he has been left behind. We have not seen this behavior in his kennel, which makes us believe he would do well in a crate, small increments at a time until he can settle in and recognize this space as his own.
