Check out my video: Playing Ball

Meet Chance — the ultimate ball-playing, tail-wagging bundle of joy!
This spirited and affectionate girl lives up to her name, bringing hope, laughter, and unconditional love to everyone she meets. With a gentle nuzzle and a bright, eager expression, Chance instantly wins hearts. She's not just sweet — she's smart too. Quick to learn and eager to please, Chance already knows her basic commands and is always ready for more if you're up for the challenge.

Walks with Chance are a breeze thanks to her great leash manners — unless, of course, she's bursting with excitement to get to the play yard! That’s where her athletic side shines. A true fetch champion, Chance’s love for the game is unmatched. Whether she’s darting across the yard to snag a fly ball, pushing a big toy ball with her nose, or carrying her favorite tennis ball through an entire walk, this girl is always in game mode. One of her most charming tricks is her version of "canine bowling" — she'll cleverly kick the ball under a bench to you like she’s got her own ball return system. And when playtime’s over? She's the one still going strong — you’ll be the one calling timeout!

But Chance isn’t all energy. She’s a loving, loyal companion who adores being close to her humans. She rarely barks, except when she sees a familiar face she’s excited about (especially in the mornings). Cuddles, gentle pets, and pool time rank just as high as fetch on her list of favorite things. She’ll even wash her ball off in the pool or water bucket before bringing it back — she’s got standards!

Chance is more than just an adoptable dog — she’s a vibrant soul looking for someone to share her boundless joy and deep affection. If you’re ready for endless games of fetch, quiet cuddles, and a loyal best friend who will brighten every day, Chance is ready to meet you.
Will you be the one to give this amazing girl the forever home she deserves?

 

 

Walk-ins are welcome! Stop by during our open hours to meet our available dogs!!

Before you can adopt, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36924/generic. If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold any pets. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. 

The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.
