The Chance Foundation
-Chance and Carla
The mission statement of The Chance Foundation is to help homeless, neglected, abused and/or abandoned dogs. While the dogs are in our care, we give them housing, food, vaccinations, spaying/neutering and any medical care they might need. We give them lots of love and attention and work on improving their socialization skills and obedience training in hopes that it may help them find their perfect match with a loving home. Every dog we have taken in so far has made great strides of improvement regarding temperament, socialization, training and general well-being.
We take in as many dogs as we can afford to at any given time. If you or someone you know is interested in a loving companion, please look at the dogs we have available right now, call us at 540-788-3559 or e-mail us at carlacck@aol.com. Or, if you would like to help, but can not adopt a dog at this time, monetary and other donations are always needed and greatly appreciated.
We normally do not
adopt to families with children under nine years of age.
Thank you for caring and for your support!
The Chance Foundation is a recognized non-proft 501(3)(c) foundation.
Any donations are tax-deductible and very much appreciated.
Chance's Story
Hi! My name is Chance. I would like to share my story with you with hope that it may help another unfortunate dog 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 the floor. The chart on my run stated that I was 14 years old, deaf & blind, so the odds weren't great for me getting adopted.
The people at the shelter knew that, and I was slated to be euthanized in five minutes. My time, like so many others, had run out.
Fortunately, my special someone happened to come in right at that 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 had no intention of adopting a dog that day, but in her 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 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 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"!
