Story
UPDATE: We are in the process of losing our house. The dogs need to be rehomed ASAP. Chance (the dancing dog) is very excited to meet you. He likes to dance and twirl around to show you that he is happy to see you. Chance loves any toys but is very particular about treats. Chance is afraid of storms and would appreciate a safe place to hide with blankets. Chance is a genuinely happy dog and would thrive with a good amount of room to run around.
