Adoption information
About Chance
Chance is a timid, sensitive boy who prefers a calm, quiet life and takes comfort in doing things his own way. He isn’t snuggly and doesn’t really play, but he shows affection in soft, subtle ways—like leaning in for forehead pats and drooling a little when he’s deeply relaxed and content.
Chance is independent yet full of charm. He sits with his tongue poking out when he’s comfortable, sleeps in the most unusual spots (particularly inside a cat‑shaped bed without the cushion), and always chooses hard surfaces over blankets and pillows. His quirks make him even more adorable.
Although he is shy, Chance has the incredible ability to receive love despite his fears. With the right home, he will continue to grow, learn, and build trust.
