Story
Sarah Connor was a momma dog who was named after being found in the middle of a rural highway, protecting her single puppy. A kind-hearted person rescued her. Later, three other puppies were found nearby and joyfully reunited with Momma Sarah. Vista is one of the three puppies found nearby. He was adopted and then, through no fault of his own (divorce), Vista has been returned to Missouri K9 Friends. He is an energetic, playful, goofy boy who loves tummy rubs. He is friendly with other dogs. Because he has high energy, he may not be best suited in a home with younger children.

Story
To apply to adopt Church, please fill out an adoption application at www.evenchance.org/adopt and we will be in touch! For specific questions, feel free to email us at info@evenchance.org 1. What is your name? Churchill! I was found in a church. 2. How old are you? I am still a growing boy, probably around 15-18 months (as of September 1, 2023). 3. What do you look like? Basically the cutest panda bear you've ever seen, I don't know what else to say. 4. What do you like to eat? Absolutely anything! I am not picky about my food. 5. What kind of personality do you have? I am silly, goofy, funny, loving, playful. I've been told I'm a cartoon character. 6. Describe your perfect day. A nice walk in the am, a little play time in the yard or house, and then relaxing by the window watching the world go by. 7. What is your favorite toy? I like balls but my fav is to play tug! 8. Do you know any tricks? No tricks really, but I am working on my manners and things like climb, sit, down, stay, and loose leash walking. 9. What scares you? New experiences can worry me sometimes, but I usually figure it out pretty fast and am good to go. 10. Do you like cats? To chase, very much. 11. Do you have any doggie best friends? I have a dog friend that will roughhouse with me, but I'm still learning how to properly interact with dogs. Unfortunately, my foster mom says I'm a little rude and will accidentally start a fight. I'm a work in progress. 12. If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be? Wherever you are, that's where I want to be. Leaned right up against you. 13. How is your health? I’m healthy as a horse! 14. How long have you lived in your foster home? I’ve been here since July 3, 2023. 15. Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion? My foster mom and dad, and their kids, but they are off to college right now. I also live with 3 other dogs, but I'm not allowed to play with them....again, because I'm a little rude. 16. Where do you hang out when you are home alone? I always hang out in my crate when my foster mom isn’t home or can't keep an eye on me. 17. Where do you sleep? I always sleep in my crate at night, but while my family is home, I will lay on my bed or snuggle on the couch. 18. What do you love about your foster family? I love that my foster family is so dedicated to meeting all my needs. I am grateful that Even Chance rescued me! 19. What was life like before you were rescued by Even Chance and brought into the welcoming arms of your foster parents? I was living in a church, praying for a miracle. Even Chance does not operate on a first come, first serve basis. In most cases we have already decided the type of home and owner we want for our dogs. These opinions are based on the temperament tests we perform prior to accepting the dog into our program and the behaviors the dogs display as they grow up. Our agency reserves the right to deny acceptance of any dog to an owner who we feel the lifestyle does not match that of the dog. We are in no way judging you or your lifestyle; we simply want to put our dogs in the best living situation possible. We take very seriously the decision we make when it comes to placing one of our dogs in a forever home. If I sound like the perfect pit bull for your and your family and you are interested in giving me a forever home, do not hesitate! Please fill out an application here and my foster family will contact you to schedule an in-person meet and greet. We look forward to meeting any and all interested applicants.
