NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
This gorgeous Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier, Harold, is looking for a very special home! He has been through a lot and we are working with him to help him become a more confident dog. He is good natured but very timid. We are working with him every day to get him more comfortable around people before he is adopted. When we choose a home for him we will require a fenced yard and a local adoption as he is a flight risk.

Please contact Debi @ 202-309-5464 or debtulou@gmail.com.
Gorgeous 7-year-old male Springer Spaniel, Drifter, is never happier than when playing or cuddling with people. He is a dog who loves to go places, especially to the beach or the woods. Drifter is pure Springer—fun-filled, spirited and a total love-bug.
Drifter needs a home without dogs and younger children. Although he always enjoyed other dogs in his early days, recent encounters with some aggressive ones have left him insecure and fearful of most dogs, even—sadly—his longtime sister. He did not grow up around children, and is worried by their noise and abrupt movements.
Drifter’s show dog heritage shows clearly in his stature and stride. He’s very well trained and mannered, and is perfectly content in his dog bed or at the end of a comfy sofa with a warm lap to rest his head.

This gorgeous girl Isotope, better known to her friends as Icy, was brought back to The Chance Foundation after living in a home for 4 months. She was brought back through no fault of her own, as she is a perfect girl. When she first arrived at The Chance Foundation last year she was easily startled by loud noises and could be rambunctious on a leash if she was approached by a stranger. Our staff worked with her and she is now a much more confident dog. That combined with her sweet disposition and flawless house manners makes her a perfect dog for any loving family. Icy is friendly with other dogs and older children, but we do not believe she would do well in a home with cats. She is a mature 6 years old and would be great for any person looking for a well trained companion for their home. We would prefer to adopt Icy out to a family that can keep her well exercised as she is very athletic.

This is Sam/Sammy! He’ll be 9 years old in July but you’d never know it because he’s still got so much spunk in him. He is SO very friendly. He loves children, he does well with other dogs after being acquainted, but doesn’t do well with cats. He loves to be outside where he can run. He knows how to sit and lay down on command and he loves to be right next to you to cuddle and follow you around to see what you’re up to. He’s incredibly sweet and would make a wonderful, devoted and loving companion. Feel free to call us at 540-788-3559 for more information or fill out our adoption application which can be found on our website at www.countryclubkennels.com.

ADOPTION PENDING
This darling girl is Bunny, affectionately named for the way she hops when she runs. Bunny is one of the mini aussidoodles that came to the Chance Foundation along with 11 other dogs. In her profile you will see a picture of what she looked like when she arrived, and then what she looked like after she was groomed! She used to live in an outdoor pen so we are not surprised by how much she likes to run in our grassy paddocks with the other dogs. Bunny was extremely shy with people when she first arrived, but after spending some time in a foster home she has become extremely sweet and affectionate. She is adapting quickly to the advantages of an indoor lifestyle including fluffy beds and three square meals a day! If you are interested in Bunny please fill out an application at www.countryclubkennels.com.

Moose is a Beagle mix and is between 1-2. He's a great boy who has, unfortunately been brought back to us through no fault of his own. He is a fun-loving energetic pup, only 1 1/2 years. old He learns his commands quickly and is potty-trained, but may need an adopter who can help him with his house manners. Moose is hoping for a family who will understand how energetic he is and provide him with lots of opportunities for exercise. He has a gentle heart and will need a loving hand to continue his training. We are hoping to find Moose a home with a fenced yard (must be 6 feet tall or higher) with plenty of room for him to run, and an active family with lots of time to exercise him.

Mia was relinquished to The Chance Foundation as her mommy is dealing with some serious health issues. The family is devastated as they love these dogs very much. We promised them that we would do all that we could to make sure Mia finds a wonderful, loving homes. Mia is from Tunisia. She resembles a retriever mix. She is very sweet but also very timid. We are working with her to help build her confidence.
We will be providing updates as Mia begins to come out of her shell. Her whole world has been turned upside down but we are hoping that eventually we will find a very special person to take her into their heart and home.

Meet Wylie, a 5 year old terrier mix. He is an adorable pup with a complicated past. Wylie is good-natured, but has come to the Chance Foundation for help with his socialization and to learn about love and companionship. Wylie has suffered abuse, and can sometimes take a while to warm up to a new person. His foster parents can tell you that once you have earned his trust, Wylie is a loyal and true companion. At home, Wylie enjoys cuddling with his foster mom and playing fetch with his foster dad. He spends many evenings watching television, which his caregivers find very amusing.
While Wylie is doing well in his foster home, he is still weary of strangers and requires time and patience before he can fully trust his loved ones. A patient and experienced dog owner will be needed to give Wylie the forever home that he has always dreamed of.

This gorgeous girl is Charlotte, a 5 year old, mature, Tree Walker Coonhound. After retiring from her demanding hunting job in rural West Virginia, Charlotte is happy to kick back and relax in the Virginia Country side. She has learned to appreciate the finer things in life like a warm fluffy bed, a full belly, and lots of fun walks. Since her arrival, Charlotte has learned to walk beautifully on a leash. She enjoys going on walks so much that we would prefer to adopt her to a family that would enjoy taking her for frequent, long walks. Charlotte is still new to indoor life and may need some guidance when she first goes to a new home. However, with time, patience and love we know Charlotte would make a wonderful companion for any family.

Saniya is young, and learning her basics, but is very smart and eager to please! She loves to play with other dogs, but requires some intervention from time to time as she learns how to play appropriately.
Saniya will need a family who will give her plenty of exercise, as well as continue her training so she can be the best girl ever. She would love to go on lots of walks, chase squirrels in the yard, and end her day cuddling with her family.
You'll turn heads wherever you take beautiful Saniya. She is striking, sweet, smart and very special. Please contact us for more information on Saniya, or to schedule a time to visit here.

Hello, I am Denzel. I am a laid back guy with a heart of gold. I’m a sweet man in the prime of his life. I can play with the best of them, but also appreciate the quiet moments. Spending the first part of my life chained outside has toughened me up on the outside, but don’t let that fool you. I have the gentlest disposition, love other dogs and people, and want nothing more than to have a lap to rest my head on.
When I first got to The Chance Foundation, I had just had cherry-eye surgery on both eyes. I hadn’t spent any time around other dogs, and no one had ever been nice to me before. It didn’t take me long to figure out how great it is to have friends and get pets and treats. The icing on the cake: I’m housetrained! All that’s missing now is my forever family.
A Note from the Staff:
We here at the Chance Foundation just love Denzel. He is a favorite of us all. Denzel has an issue with the ligaments in his wrists which will likely limit his mobility later in life. We will be happy to give you more details from our vet on how you can help keep him happy and comfortable. You should also be aware that our sweet boy has a major obsession with livestock. We believe he would be best NOT living in a more rural environment. Here at our facility, the cows drive him crazy!

Hi, I’m Taurus. I have been living here with The Chance Foundation for several years. I have many great friends here who love and adore me, but I am looking for a family who will share their comfortable home with me, and help me continue to grow as I continue my quest to be the BEST BOY EVER!
Since I arrived here, I have already learned so much. At first, I was not socialized, and now I am happy to say that I have more dog friends than I can count! I love meeting large dogs, small dogs, males and females, like to play and swim and eat treats, and love going on long walks with my human friends.
I am a very sweet boy who will quickly get into belly-rub position and sit at your feet. I haven’t always been so gentlemanly, so I am looking for a family who will help me continue my training and socialization. They will need to be assertive at times so that I don’t get too pushy, but this can be easily learned.
Please consider adding me to your family. I will be forever loyal!
Note from the Staff:
Taurus has limited vision, which means that consideration must be taken when approaching him so he doesn't startle. We would be happy to give you some tips on how to make this work for you.

Hello, I’m Pepé! As you can see, I am absolutely adorable, but before you start squealing, you should know that I am a very complicated man. I’ve been adopted and returned so many times I’ve lost count. I thought I found my special person, the one who could see through my naughty behavior and love me, but here I am at the shelter again. I know that I can be difficult, but put yourself in my paws. It’s heartbreaking to be given up on, so know I’m on the defensive, not giving away my love too quickly. I will put you through the ringer and make you work for it, but if you keep at it, I promise I will show you my sweet side which is buried deep inside.
Now for the good stuff – I love belly rubs, walks to the pond so I can dip my feet, playing with stuffed toys, treats and prancing around showing off how lovely my fur is! I am a perfect little size to fit into your home coming in at a whopping 10 pounds. I have been working very hard on my good behavior and making great progress with a few of my friends at work. I am house trained and crate trained and know “sit” and “lay down” flawlessly!
A message from the staff:
Pepé is a long term resident at The Chance Foundation and it will take the absolute right person for us to send him off into the world again. He is not afraid to bite and does not take corrections well. It will take the right person a significant amount of time to make a connection with Pepé. This will be a process that we would ask you to be fully committed to. Pepé would do best in an adult only household. He is ok with other dogs, but does misbehave from time to time. He will require a bit more caution with grooming, visiting the vet and being in public, so please consider carefully and make sure you are up for the challenge.

Our Resident Sanctuary Dogs
This cute little senior Maltese is expected to be about 12 years old. We are looking for an adopter or a foster for this special lady.
Betty White has kidney disease, which is currently being managed by a special diet. We will happily provide any prospective families with the guidance needed to keep her happy and healthy. Betty White also has occasional dry eye, which requires drops and eye cleaning. She also needs regular grooming. If she is in foster care, you can come out to our facility where we can do this for you.
Betty White has become affectionately known as "Bossy Betty". Her tiny little frame holds a huge personality! She is a queen, and she knows it. She loves to cuddle and be affectionate. She will find a way to get your attention, and would be happiest as the only dog in the house, although she is fine with other dogs.
Betty was trained to use pee pads. She seems to prefer this over going potty outside. She is a true diva who knows what she wants and how to get it!
We love Betty White, but want her to be as happy as she can. She came to us after her dad got very ill and could no longer care for her. She knows how it feels to be loved and we would love for her to be doted on again as the apple of your eye.
RIP Howard aka "Howie", 2004-2018
For 12 perfect years Howard was a member of our family. Howard was incredibly protective of his family and found himself in some trouble as a sassy 3 year old. We vowed as a team to keep Howie safe and the only way to do that was to keep him with his CCK&T Family.
The day he left us there was not a heart left unbroken among the staff and volunteers of the CCK family.
Howard lived like a king in our kennel and his incredible personality and ability to love will never be forgotten.
Howie meant so much to our team here, He was the best listener and many of us would use him as a shoulder to cry on. He was also incredibly protective of his family, we never felt unsafe with him around. But best of all Howie had a heart bigger than anyone could imagine. His love had no limits.
Our family lost not only our Shining Star, but our therapist, body guard, and our Best friend.
See you over the rainbow one day, until then.... We love you Howard.
