Pet of the Week: Chance

CHANCE: so named by his original shelter, all the way down in South Carolina, this sturdily built canine traveled a very long way for his “second chance." Sadly overlooked, he’s been waiting since June 1st for his lasting forever home.

Medium-sized brown dog, just about 50 lbs. — he seems to have faded into the background of the adopting public’s consciousness and, after this length of time, as the prettier, more obviously purebred, and cute tiny puppies leave the building, he remains, forlorn and lonely.

We know he would be a good dog with some guidance away from the shelter. For some dogs it’s just is too loud, too busy, too reactive for them to cope with the constant stream of visitors, and proximity of other canines.

Ideal home, Chance is actually afraid of cats! He may be able to enjoy the company of another dog at some point in his life, maybe a local canine playmate. We must be very clear, he has had no experience that has been positive with children and really needs an adults-only home.

Please come and visit this sweet two-year-old Shepherd mix today and chat with one of our knowledgeable adoption staff. We really want to make the right match for him.

Shelter is open on weekends, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., and every day except Mondays and Wednesdays, noon to 5 p.m Check www.nhhumane.org.
