Meet Chance! This resilient boy has been through a lot in his short life, but you’d never know it—he’s one of the friendliest, happiest pups you’ll ever meet. Chance was first found in the summer of 2022, taking shelter under an oil rig south of Houston, Texas. Shortly after, he was hit by a car, resulting in a broken hip. In early 2023, he underwent a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) surgery, which allowed him to make a full recovery—he now runs, walks, and plays with no issues! He also overcame heartworm disease and has been heartworm-negative for the past year. A loving family stepped up to adopt Chance and supported him through his treatments. However, due to their child’s special needs and ongoing struggles interacting with him, they’ve made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him—for his well-being and happiness. Now, on to the best part… Chance himself! This big-hearted guy is the epitome of a good boy. He’s crate-trained, potty-trained, and knows how to sit like a champ—especially when treats are involved. He adores attention and gets the zoomies whenever new people come over. A goofy, affectionate soul, Chance firmly believes he’s a tiny lap dog, despite weighing around 90 lbs! He’s fantastic with kids but, thanks to his enthusiastic wiggles and happy-go-lucky nature, he’d do best with older children who won’t get knocked over by his exuberance. He loves chew bones but has never been destructive with furniture—just another reason he’s such a great pup.
