Chance

Meet Chance

Chance is a playful young guy with lots of love to give. He loves to be with other dogs, but sometimes plays rough (I think he previously had to fend for himself a lot) so will need to be partnered with fur siblings that will teach him playful boundaries. He is trainable and wants to please his people. He’s a very happy, loving dog who LOVES the water!
