My story

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

Chance has spent his entire life growing up in the shelter—waiting, hoping, dreaming of a home where he can finally be someone’s baby. This handsome boy isn’t just looking for a roof over his head; he’s searching for a family who truly understands him—someone ready to give him the love, patience, and guidance he deserves.

Chance is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm, especially when it comes to playing fetch. Throw a ball, stick, or toy, and Chance will chase it with endless joy—sometimes for hours on end. If you have a ball, he’s all ears. Say the magic word “ready” and he’ll happily drop it right at your feet, eager for the next toss. He’s a playful spirit at heart who thrives when given the chance to engage and have fun.

That said, Chance does have some important needs. He resource guards and is learning every day that no one will take his food from him, and isn’t comfortable around other animals or children, so his perfect home would be one where he can be the center of attention. This is a dog who needs someone who understands that with structure, trust, and time, Chance can truly shine.

He may have grown up in the shelter, but Chance’s heart is full of hope and loyalty. He’s ready to leave the shelter life behind and step into a future filled with fetch sessions, quiet moments, and unconditional love.

Are you ready to give Chance the chance he’s been waiting for? If so, you won’t just be adopting a dog—you’ll be gaining a loyal companion who will love you fiercely and never look back.


Chance's adoption fee is $0, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption


Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1

Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply!
