Story
Chance: Ready for the Adventure… and the Home at the End of It 🐾 3 years old · Bulldog/Mixed Breed · Approx. 57 lbs · Neutered Male · Available in Shelter If you remember the adventurous pup from Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, then you already know the kind of spirit Chance has. Just like the lovable, mischievous dog voiced by Michael J. Fox in the movie, our Chance is full of personality, heart, and a little bit of that “ready for adventure” energy. In the movie Chance once said, “Oh Sassy, this is an adventure!” and honestly, that line could describe this shelter boy perfectly. Chance arrived at the shelter with a wound on his head that has since healed beautifully. The small scars you may see are simply part of his story now. Just like the movie’s Chance who faced a long journey home, our Chance has been through his own challenges and is still wagging his tail, ready for the next chapter. And when it comes to other dogs, this guy is what we call a playgroup legend. Chance has spent time with just about every type of dog you can imagine. Big dogs, small dogs, young, old, male, female, you name it, Chance has probably played with them and had a great time doing it. If your dog has been hoping for a new best friend, Chance may be exactly who they have been waiting for. When the adventure winds down, Chance is all about the quiet moments too. He loves affection, enjoys leaning against his person, and is happiest just being near the people he trusts. While Chance is wonderful with adults and other dogs, very young children can make him a little nervous. Because of that, we recommend a home with kids 10 years old or older so he can feel comfortable and confident. The movie Chance spent the whole story trying to find his way home. Our Chance is hoping his story ends the same way, just with a shorter journey. Chance’s Highlights ✔️ 3 year old Bulldog mix, approx. 57 lbs ✔️ Playgroup rockstar who loves other dogs ✔️ Easygoing, lovable personality ✔️ Affectionate and people focused ✔️ Enjoys attention and companionship ✔️ Would do best in a home with kids 10 years old or older Chance has the heart of an adventurer and the kind of spirit that makes every day feel like a new journey. Now he is just waiting for the people who will walk that path beside him. 📍 Come meet Chance at the Caroline County Humane Society 407 W. Belle Street, Ridgely, MD 21660 410 820 1600 CarolineHumane.org adoptions@carolinehumane.org After all, every great adventure deserves the perfect ending. A place to call home.

Meet Gunner – Ready for a Fresh Start and a Forever Home Gunner is a 4-year-old, 70-pound mixed breed with a gentle soul and a heart full of hope. This big guy hasn’t had it easy—he lived on the streets with his previous owners until they could no longer care for him.

He’s a strong, loyal companion who’s been through a lot but still believes in people. Gunner is looking for a home where he can finally rest easy, stretch out in a cozy spot, and know he’s safe.
