This is Chance. He is a handsome young male, 1-2 years old, mix, weighing about 40lbs. There is a little bit of hound, certainly seen in his body and tail, with a boxy, solid head, like a St. Bernhard, only a little smaller. He has beautiful white short fur with back spots, and great looking black/white coloring on his face. Safe to say he is a good old all-American mutt. Chance has had a little bit of a rough start and wasn’t treated well and ended up in a kennel in Southern Missouri. Rescue groups descended on the kennel that Chance was in, taking all the other dogs. Chance would have been the last dog there except we decided to give Chance a chance, and boy are we glad we did!!! Chance is housebroken and very smart. He has had a little bit of training and, we feel, would do very well with more. He is still young and full of energy. He loves walks, playing fetch with a ball, and playing with other dogs. That said, he does do well with other dogs. He is a snuggler, loves to sit with you, or on your lap. He is also a kisser, so be ready for that. He is kennel trained and spends nights there. Not sure how he would do around cats. It's also best if Chance has no kids in the home, as he is startled by them, and unsure of their next move which makes him uncomfortable and nervous. He has really latched on the adult human male in his foster home. Because of this, we feel he would do best with a male in the home, maybe an active guy who wants to take his doggie everywhere with him! He is nervous around new people, visitors who come over to his house, and it does take him a while to warm up to anyone new. Because of this, he will need someone with lots of patience to give him and lots of time to settle in, utlizing some training techniques to help him adopt. He is easily startled by load noises and surprises; and will approach cautiously when you reassure him that everything is okay. He is still a little nervous on car rides but settles down with positive attention. Chance is up to date on all shots, is heart worm free, and micro-chipped. His adoption fee is $300, he is fostered in the KC area. Apps can be filled out at bassetandbeagle.org.
