Pulling out all the stops to find this sweet dog a home. Please SHARE on FB! Hi! My name is Chance. I had another name, but I think I like this one better! A lady found me in a local park. I dont know what I was doing there. I was alone and scared. Then along came this lady who took me home! When I first got here, I was very quiet. I didnt even bark at the cat they have. They also have a little dog. The little dog doesnt seem to like me much. I think hes jealous. He barks at me sometimes, but I just walk away. I barked at the cat once, but the lady told me to be polite and leave her alone. So, I do. The lady took me to the vet. The vet says I weigh 53 pounds. I dont know my birthday, but the vet thinks Im no older than 2 years old. She gave me all my vaccinations and also ran some tests. I had a low-positive heartworm test, but to look at me youd think I was healthy as can be! The vet gave me two painful shots and let me sleepover. The next day, the lady came to pick me up and took me back to her house. I am supposed to be quiet for a few weeks so the heartworm medicine can work. I cooperate and rest a lot. After the heartworm medicine finishes doing its job, I am going to have an operation called neutering. Not sure what that is, do you? The lady is also giving me monthly heartworm and flea preventative so I stay healthy! The lady says there are no fleas on me, so thats a good thing. I love to go outside and for car rides. I even figured out how to go out the little dogs doggie door. I scraped my back the first time I tried it. But, Im pretty smart and figured out how to go real slow so I dont scrape my back anymore! In the backyard, I dont chase squirrels. Just not worth it. I made friends with the dogs on either side of the ladys house. I wag my tail to say hello. Barking to say hello, like the little dog does, is just plain rude. I already knew how to sit. The lady is teaching me to stay and its not so horrible...especially when she releases me. I am learning to shake and lie down, too. I am very smart and love to please the lady so I will learn as much as I can as fast as I can. The lady feeds me really good kibble and I show her how much I appreciate it by licking the bowl clean. One time, she stuck her hand in my bowl and messed with my kibble. I have no idea what she was doing, so I just ate around her. I love to drink water, but I do not drink out of the toilet (like the little dog does) as thats disgusting. At night, I sleep in a crate in the ladys room. I go right in and curl up and go to sleep. The little dog sleeps on the ladys bed. Hes lucky, but I like the crate just fine! In the morning, I wait patiently and quietly until the lady lets me out. Then I go outside to, you know, take care of business and then I have breakfast. Yesterday, the lady left for a little while and I waited in the crate quietly until she came back. I dont really like to play with toys or chase balls. What I like is to be with people. Even if Im just in the same room taking a nap, it makes me happy. I get really happy when I see the harness and leash come out. The lady bought them for me and also bought me a really cool collar. I cant wait to take walks, after Im done with my quiet period! The lady says I cant stay with her forever and I think I understand. She is trying to find me a family that will love me as much as I will love them. I have lots and lots of love to give ... but I do not give slobbery kisses (like the little dog)! I will just wag my tail and worship you with my eyes! Please let the lady know if you want to meet me! You can email her at lwohlbach@gmail or call her at 404.387.9187 Adoringly, Chance
