My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

URGENT- MEET CHANCE! Long Island, NY. Foster/Foster to adopt home needed ASAP. He is a 2 y/o 90lb Labrador/Ridgeback mix. He is an affectionate dog that loves to be right by his owner's side. His family's dynamic changed and they are no longer able to care for him. He was adopted at 3 mos via a large local rescue that is known for not taking back their animals. Family tried to rehome him on their own, to no avail. Chance normally has good energy, but can also lay around for half the day. He loves short bursts of play in the yard to tire him out. He seeks to be pet often. He knows many commands and is fully house broken & crate trained. He is neutered, microchipped and UTD on all vaccines and preventatives. Ideal family will have prior large dog experience and no children under 13 due to his size & inexperience. He has not yet been cat tested and would need proper dog introductions. Please someone step up to save his life.

If interested, please email adoptions@paws-li.org or call 631-306-4616.
