Notes from Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue

CHANCE – Ready for an active, loving home!

Basic Info: • Name: Chance • Rescue ID: D250072 • Adoption Fee: $0 - this has been sponsored. • Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Dog & Catahoula Leopard Dog mix (possible) • Age: 3 • Weight: 65 pounds • Gender: Neutered male • Housetrained: Most likely • Good with other animals: Chance enjoys playing with other dogs of a similar size. Cats unknown.

Personality:

Chance is a loving, highly intelligent dog eager to learn and please; he thrives when mentally challenged (having a job, when engaged in play, etc). He already knows commands like “sit,” “give paw,” and “down,” and is excited to learn more! Chance should take very well to any additional training. He responds nicely to positive reinforcement, belly rubs, and treats. Chance loves people and is looking for direction, purpose, and a family to call his own.

Ideal Home:

Chance enjoys 1:1 engagement so a single person or couple would be ideal. He would do well having a fenced yard to run off some energy but consistent leash walking would be acceptable. Chance will do best with an experienced owner familiar with smart, working breeds. He enjoys hiking, playing fetch, and having a “job” that challenges him with consistent training. He walks nicely on a leash but can pull when overly excited, so redirection is key. Due to his size and strength, a home with children over 12 is recommended. Chance loves taking car/truck rides and would enjoy riding shotgun with someone who drives during the day but is home at night.

✅ Health, Care, & Appearance:

• Requires daily exercise and mental stimulation • Vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped • Tall and strikingly handsome with a soft, fluffy coat and an expressive face

Location & Adoption Info:

Chance is being fostered at Mikey & Me in Chelsea, MI. He is ready to be your best friend! Apply to meet him at www.happydaysdogandcatrescue.org

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to

Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee to change information.

Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
