He is fearful of humans, but loves other dogsSKILLSPotty trained.Crate trained.Leash trained.Older children only.Good with dogs.Would make a great hiking buddy.Chance loves to go for walks. He also wants to chase squirrels and cats.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Likes walks.Likes playing with other dogs.Submissive.Needs patient owner willing to work on behavior (see details below).BREED needs regular clippings to avoid matting.Chance takes a long time to warm up to people. He is very shy and it months in his foster home to open up to his foster mom, but can still be fearful at timesONE LAST THING:Chance is a sweet boy who really needs confidence building and a patient family to work with him. He's playful with other dogs and smart, non-aggressive, a good eater. He is resistant to being handled so needs to be reassured and worked with on a scheduled basis. He knows how to use the doggy door. Chance loves belly rubs, walks, hikes, playing with other dogs. He loves to give kisses. This all will take time to work up to, and he seems to be still be fearful with people. Chance was found on the streets and has some distrust of people, so his forever family will need to be patient so he can be the best dog he can be!June 11, 2025, 3:20 pm
