Chance

Our Chance is an exceptional boy, who has charmed rescue advocates at every stage of his Rescue journey. He loves everybody, and has not flinched at all during a rescue process that leaves lesser dogs rattled.  We've been trying to piece together Chance's backstory, and here's what we know for sure: He was found as a stray in North Carolina, and animal control officers handled him with ease when they brought him to the county shelter. Chance looked weary and malnourished when he arrived at the rural shelter, but his luck improved when the shelter transferred him to our Connecticut Rescue last year so that we could treat him for parasites and find him a a forever home. Chance appears to be a leggy Treeing Walker Coonhound, and he lives up to their lovable reputation. He is a large dog, at a lean weight of 55 pounds. His short, flat tri-colored coat is largely black and tan, with white markings. He has a million dollar profile! Chance is a very gentle boy and would be a great addition to an active family with older, dog savvy kids. He is friendly and will give everyone in the family equal attention. Chance is not one to play favorites, and he is very stranger friendly.  Chance could also join an active single or couple, who can provide at least one to two leisurely leash walks, so that he can meander and stop to smell the "roses." Scent hounds are extremely easy to manage because the leisurely walk that engages their senses, provides much needed mental and physical exercise. Chance has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He has been neutered, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. If you are interested in Chance, please write to [email protected] or call/text Denise at 860 908 9738 for more info.
