Story
Please meet Chance the Pupper! Chance is a very happy, sweet, and smart boy. He loves to play, cuddle, and relax with his family. Chance is also a big fan of checking himself out in the mirror. Can you blame him, who wouldn't with a face like his? He's so handsome!! Chance is a 2 year old Terrier mix that weighs 24 lbs. He is an active boy who loves to play. His tail wagging takes over his entire body when he's excited! It's the highlight of his foster Mom's day when he greets her at the door as she gets home from work! He just loves being around his "people" and giving them as much love and affection as they will allow him to give! Chance may have had a rough start in life with minimal socialization and/or neglect. He requires patience, support, and training. He has shown signs of fear reactivity, as he associates some things with fear, seeing them as threats, most likely for survival. Chance will need a single family home, no children under 12, and a fenced in yard that will help him exert his energy, and help him feel safe from unfamiliar dogs as well. He requires slow and gentle introductions to new people, and new dogs. His foster parents have been giving 110% of their energy to working with Chance. Using a combination of private 1 on 1 in-home training sessions with a certified trainer and recently starting a daily medication, we have seen GREAT improvements! His foster parents also work daily on basic obedience with him, and he now knows "sit, stay, touch, leave it, place, and find it! His daily medication he has started taking is an anti-anxiety medication, he takes it once a day, and can be prescribed by a vet and purchased through your local pharmacy. The monthly cost for a 30 day supply is about $10-15 a month. We've also found that he's super agile, and he would be a great running partner or agility course training with an active adopter! He just lights up and thrives while playing catch and any game that uses skill and focus. He listens and is very attentive. Ideal to be the only pet at home, adopters should be comfortable keeping up with him in terms of energy. Chance is smart, charming, and extremely loving. We know his family is out there, and willing to give this loving boy the chance at a happy life, a life that he deserves! **I am participating in TNT's Adoption Extravaganza!! My adoption fee is $250**
