Chance - Adopted |
|

|
Chance came to us from an out-of-state shelter, where he was a stray. He
was found with a bone stuck around his lower jaw. This must have been
frightening and painful to him, but he let the shelter personnel remove
it without so much as a squawk. The shelter attendants called him T-Bone.
His foster mom thought he needed a more dignified name, so she called him
Chance. We are hoping his new name brings him luck, because he needs it. He had a few health problems. He had painful crystals in his urine, but these are almost gone now since he has been eating good food. (He will need to be kept on high-quality food.) He has a slightly enlarged heart and heart murmur, which is not unusual in an older Doberman. The vet is not concerned, however. Chance is “age unknown.” It is often hard to tell with dogs that have lived a rough life, but we think he is about 7 years old. He is a typically sweet, loving red boy. He is dog friendly. Of course he adores people, even after all he has been through. If you’d like a wonderful, adoring companion, why not take a chance on Chance? He is waiting to be your lucky charm! UPDATE: Chance is doing very well and his crystals have resolved at this point. He has a great temperament and loves everyone and everything. His best friend in his foster home is a small Boston Terrier that he loves rolling around and playing with. Although he is somewhere between 5 and 7 years old, he still has lots of energy but can also calm down and be very relaxed. He loves to have his head rubbed and will lean into you as long as you are petting him. We took him to a community event where he met lots of people, including kids, and he did great with everyone, just very lovable. He would be a great family dog! Visitors are always welcome, by appointment only. NOTE: An adoption application MUST be submitted in order to be considered to adopt a dog through our program. |
