The Chance Foundation: Chance's Story
Hi! My name is Chance
I would like to share my story with you, with the hope that it may help another unfortunate friend have a second chance at a better life
Four days before Christmas of 2000, I was found lying in the local shelter on a cold, concrete floor, saturated in my own urine. I was scared, lonely and very depressed. I was so weak from not eating that I wouldn't even lift my head off of the floor
The chart on my run stated that I was 14 years old, deaf and blind; so the odds weren't great for me getting adopted
The people at the shelter knew those facts, and I was scheduled to be euthanized in five minutes
My time, like some many other of my friends, had run out
Fortunately, my special someone happened to come in at the right time. She was there to drop off Christmas presents for the homeless dogs. She walked in front of my run and found me so pathetic that all she could do was cry
She had no intentions of adopting a dog that day, but in her own words, "No dog deserves to die that way"
She brought me home not knowing whether I would live a week or 2 years, but she told me that "All that mattered was that I would know that somebody loved me and that I would enjoy my final days"
While at the time she thought that she was doing something nice for me, she tells me every day that I did her the biggest favor by showing her how much she could love me. She adores me with all of her heart and tells everyone how much joy I continue to bring her. I repay her by being a loving, affectionate, comical companion to her and her five other dogs
I have a lot of life left in me and I'm glad that someone was able to give me that "second Chance"
