My story

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

Chance is running out of time to find his forever family… and he deserves one more than you can imagine.

Like his Homeward Bound namesake, Chance came from a Bad Place—the kind no puppy should ever have to survive. He’s seen things, endured things, and lived through more in four months than many dogs do in a lifetime.

But—just like the movie—he’s out. He’s safe.
And now he’s been given exactly what his name promises:
a chance.

Listen, we know pups from rough beginnings sometimes get labeled or misunderstood.
So let’s toss all of that straight out the window.

Because Chance?
Chance is 25 pounds of pure, snuggly Velcro love, and he is only getting sweeter.

He is gentle.
He is shy in the most endearing way.
He is playful, loyal, soft-hearted, and the world’s biggest fan of “uppies.”

(Seriously—if you want accidental biceps, Chance will lovingly help you achieve them.)

He’s blended beautifully with the Pekingese, the Labrador, and the Sheepdog in his foster home. He adores kids, seeks comfort instead of conflict, and does not have a single aggressive bone in that squishy little body. When one of the Pekingese told him off for interrupting snuggle time, he immediately flopped into full submission like, “Sorry! Love you! My bad!”

He’s learning potty training quickly, learned his name in a blink, and every day he grows a little braver and a lot happier. Now that he’s being treated like a puppy—not a dog-fighting ring’s chew toy—he’s discovering joy, play, and trust for the first time.

But what he needs now is a real home.

Chance would thrive with a playful doggy friend, a fenced yard to zip around in, and a family who won’t mind a warm, cuddly body sleeping on the couch—or better yet, in their bed.

The only caution: he shouldn’t go to a home with German Shepherds or similar large, intense breeds.

Chance is ready. He’s healing. He’s hopeful.
And he is desperately waiting for the humans who will love him for the rest of his life.

Please—give him the forever home he’s been fighting so hard to reach.
