In the rescue’s words

Meet Chance – 10 Years Without a Family… Could You Be His First? Currently in Texas | Transport Available Adoption Fee: $200 for Chance | $200 for Chula | $300 for both Chance’s DOB: ~2014 | Weight: 83.6 lbs Apply at: www.adoggie4you.org Can you imagine spending your entire life in rescue? That’s Chance’s reality. Found at just 6 weeks old, the sole survivor of a parvo-stricken litter dumped behind a daycare, Chance beat the odds—but lost his chance at a normal puppyhood. His early weeks were spent in hospitals and quarantine, missing critical socialization. While he learned to trust his rescuers, he stayed fearful of strangers, and time passed him by. But something amazing happened. Chance blossomed. With the help of his best friend, Chula, he learned how to walk on leash, explore, play, and even let new people near. He adores running beside a golf cart, exploring the yard, and spending sunny days playing with toys and Chula in the rescue’s exercise area. Chance is housetrained (never soils his kennel), playful, affectionate once he feels safe, and so deserving of a real home after a decade of waiting. His Ideal Home: Quiet, adult-only home (no small children, cats, or small dogs) Fenced yard to play and explore A calm, confident companion dog—Chula would be perfect! Patient adopter willing to give him time and love Chula is also older and well-behaved in a home setting, making them an incredible pair.

They’ve spent a lifetime together, and their bond is beautiful. ✨ Chance has waited 10 years for someone to see past his shyness and into his heart. Could that someone be you?
