BIO: Hello there, my name is Chance. I was rescued from the Genesee County Animal Shelter. I was found as a stray and my owners were contacted - but never came to save me. It’s no wonder, they were probably afraid they would be charged with animal cruelty and abuse. As much as I hated being crated at the shelter for two weeks, I am glad my former owners didn’t come for me. Because of my deplorable condition, I was not going to be put up for adoption - and we all know what that would have meant. That is why the rescue decided to call me Chance - because they wanted to give me the chance to be adopted by a loving caring family that would never let this happen to me again. I had to be bathed before they could even transport me because I was so filthy, smelly and matted. I was an absolute gem to bathe. For a dog to have gone through what I obviously did, to be kept in a crate for two weeks and then be taken out by two complete strangers and bathed - everyone said I was remarkable. I am very obedient and will do anything for you. He walk very well on a leash and love to give kisses and to be hugged. This picture were taken right after I was bathed, (I am still wet as you can tell ). The shelter thought I might have a flea allergy with regard to the lack of hair and irritation on my lower back - but after being checked by a specialist to make sure exactly what the problem was, they came up with the same conclusion. I crate well and get along with everyone. I also get along well with other larger dogs. I appear to have a high prey drive and do not do well with smaller dogs. They think I am housetrained because I did not mess in my crate. I am UTD on all vaccinations and heartworm negative. Whoever decides to open their heart to me is getting a real diamond in the rough. Since being on the medication for my flea allergy, my skin has cleared up and my hair has grown in. You must have a completely fenced and secure yard in order to adopt me. I am not cat friendly. I am currently staying in Dryden, MI. ** If you are interested in any of our dogs - PLEASE DO NOT CALL - instead please go to our website: WWW.SECONDCHANCEBOUVRESCUE.COM and fill out an online adoption application. ** If you have questions - please email: [email protected] ** You MUST have a completely fenced and secure yard - no exceptions will be made. ** **ADOPTION PENDING - Ashely, IN**
