Available Dogs
__________________________
This bouncy boy is Thumper, one of the dogs that came to the Chance Foundation along with 11 other dogs. Thumper is a 1-year old, 35lb mini-aussidoodle. Of the two mini aussidoodles (affectionately nicknamed our 'bunnies'), Thumper is the male. He is named for the extra skip he gets in his step when he runs. Thumper used to live in an outdoor pen so we are not surprised by how much he likes to run in our grassy paddocks. He loves to play with other dogs but can be a little shy with people. Every day he becomes more comfortable as he is learning from our excellent staff and volunteers what love and affection can be like. He is adapting quickly to the advantages of an indoor lifestyle including fluffy beds and three square meals a day! If you are interested in Thumper please fill out an application, which can be found under our 'The Chance Foundation/Adoption Info' tab. We cannot respond to email or phone inquires at this time.

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. Like her brother, Thumper, she is 1- year old and about 35lbs. 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 she has become extremely sweet and affectionate with adults and children alike. 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, which can be found under our 'The Chance Foundation/Adoption Info' tab. We cannot respond to email or phone inquires at this time.

Meet Clifford, our little red, 4 year old, moyen poodle. Clifford was relinquished to The Chance Foundation along with 11 other poodle mixes. Clifford is accustomed to living in an outdoor pen with several other dogs, but he is learning how great life as an indoor dog can be. Although he can be a little shy, he is delightful to both dogs and people. If you are interested in Clifford please fill out an application, which can be found under our 'The Chance Foundation/Adoption Info' tab. We cannot respond to email or phone inquires at this time.

This goofy boy is Digby! He is the class clown of the kennel, and has many silly mannerisms that his caretakers find funny. Digby prefers to stand straight up like a person as we walk by his room. When he is outside he likes to dart around our grassy paddocks looking for new smells, then circle back around to check on his person. From the funny way he prances, to the goofy way he stands, we think Digby is in it for the laughs. Digby loves to be outside with his other dogs friends, but prefers to follow the scents under his nose rather than engage in play. When he finally lifts his nose from the ground, it is to check on his person. Digby is accustomed to living in a small outdoor pen with little human interaction. We think this is why he is so eager to explore, and why he soaks up as much attention as he can from the staff. We are hoping to find Digby a home with a big backyard so he can continue to explore.

Welcome Bindi to the Chance Foundation! She came to us with 11 of her doodle friends. We were told that Bindi is an Aussidoodle estimated to be about 6 months old. We are unsure of how big she will get, because some of her friends have grown up to be 40lbs, but Bindi is only about 20lbs at her age.
Bindi grew up in an outdoor pen, and she has a lot to learn about life as an indoor dog. She loves to play with other dogs, especially boy dogs. However, she is very timid with people. We are requiring a home with a fenced yard for Bindi as well as someone who has time to train and socialize her. We think Bindi would gain confidence and blossom with another dog to show her how good life as a pet can be. If you are interested in Bindi please fill out an application, which can be found under our 'The Chance Foundation/Adoption Info' tab. We cannot respond to email or phone inquires at this time.

Peppy is a sweet 3 year old Chihuahua bachelor who arrived at the Chance Foundation just in time for Valentines Day! Since arriving he has enjoyed being doted on by the female staff. He dresses to impress in his cute sweaters. Peppy hopes that if he puts his best paw forward, he will find a lovely lady to carry him around in her arms. Peppy can be shy with men, but our male staff is working to earn his love and trust. Once he trusts you...he worships you

Robin and his sister Annie may look like two of a kind, but, as with most siblings, they could not be more different. Robin lives for an affectionate pat on the head. He will perform any trick he can to vie for his person's attention. Robin and his sister were relinquished to The Chance Foundation when their mom's father fell ill and she felt like she did not have enough time to devote to her precious pups. This was especially hard for Robin, who is always happiest when his person is around to give him lots of attention. Robin is hoping for a home with someone who has lots of time to spend with him. He wants to spend his days following you around as they work in the house or the yard. At the end of a long day, he would want nothing more than to sleep by your side.

Annie and her brother Robin may look like two of a kind but, as with most siblings, they could not be more different. Annie is a confident independent kind of girl, age 6. Annie and her brother were relinquished to The Chance Foundation when their mom's father fell ill and she felt like she did not have enough time to devote to her precious pups.
Annie is hoping for a home where she can be the Queen. She loves a good romp in the yard, but at the end of the day all she wants to do is relax on a fluffy bed or couch surrounded by people who will dote on her.

Monkey is a 5 year old, spunky Chihuahua. He is a loyal companion who knows how to have a good time. You can always catch him 'monkeying' around with the other dogs, or flaunting one of his stylish sweaters. He can be weary of new people but he makes friends quickly. Loyal to a fault, Monkey can be protective of his family at home. He hopes to be adopted by a patient companion who can help teach him how to make new friends!

Bandit and Rocky have found themselves in need of a new home after their mom became ill and could no longer provide them the care they deserve. They will be 3 years old in March and we were told that they are Pug Pomeranian mixes. They are incredibly cute, friendly and playful and will make a wonderful addition to a loving home. We would like to find them a home where they will be doted on and preferably with a fenced yard as they do you like to romp and play.

This beautiful 6 month old lab mix, Zena is a social butterfly. She loves to meet new dogs and people. She charms every creature she meets with her doe eyes and playful disposition. Well... every creature except for maybe cats. Zena is excitable and playful, but also incredibly intelligent and trainable. She aims to please, and is looking for an owner worthy of her loyalty. We are hoping to find Zena a forever home with someone who has time and energy to play and train her.

This 4 1/2 month old German Shepherd puppy, Freya, is new to the Chance Foundation. She was previously unsocialized, but in just a few days she has learned that she loves playing with the other puppies. Freya has a soft heart and can be shy. For this reason she will need a gentle handler to continue her training and socialization with lots of enthusiasm and praise and no heavy handed techniques. She responds well to positive reinforcement methods. We hope to find Freya a home with a big fenced in backyard with someone who is home during the day as we do not want her crated more than 3 hours at a time. We will be inundated with interest in this puppy so please fill out our adoption application found on our website at www.countryclubkennels.com only if you meet the aforementioned criteria.

Meet Moose, a fun-loving energetic boy at the Chance Foundation. Moose is a very sweet, 1 1/2 year old He learns his commands quickly and is potty-trained and crate trained. 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 with plenty of room for him to run, and an active family with lots of time to exercise him.

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.

Meet Wylie, a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix 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 has just recently discovered that touch from a caregiver can be a positive thing. Recently, Wylie has been moved into a foster home with parents that he trusts. At home, Wylie has learned to accept physical attention. He 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. Wylie responds negatively to strong corrections, and can become possessive over his food and personal space if handled improperly. A patient and experienced dog owner will be needed to give Wylie the forever home that he has always dreamed of.

Hi there, folks. I'm Daphne!
I've been living with my friends at the Chance Foundation for too long. I like it here, but I really need a family to love me and pet me and give me some much deserved attention. I don't know why I keep getting passed over, but I promise I am a good girl.
Here are some of the many things I have to offer to my new family:
- Soft velvety ears
- A calm disposition that requires only a moderate amount of exercise
- A naptime buddy (I've never had a really comfortable bed like yours...)
- A walking buddy
- Someone to talk to who will love you unconditionally
I think I'm a really great catch. I am low maintenance, and would do well with most families once I have some time to adjust. Please consider scheduling a time to visit with me, I really deserve a family and maybe you're the one!

Hi I am Charlotte! I am a sweet, calm, good-natured gal who is looking for a family who will love me and let me enjoy all the comforts of an inside life. I recently at The Chance Foundation from a rural part of West Virginia, where hounds like me usually live outside. It feels good to be done with my hunting life and starting my early retirement in comfort. I'm glad to be here but would love a little family to spend my time with.
I love to go on walks, cuddle and play with my dog friends. I get along with humans of all ages and am as gentle as they come. I am kid-proof!
I am working on my basic obedience training now, and it is going very well. They say I am smart and willing to learn new things. I'm having fun with the training because I enjoy making the humans happy when I do things right. I just hope I can make my family as proud as they are.
Please come out to Country Club Kennels to meet me. I think you will find that I would do great with almost any family, and I don't require much exercise or dog experience. I hope to see you soon! I'll be waiting!

Hi there, I'm Bobby. I am a young beagle who recently came to The Chance Foundation. I've been seriously upgraded since I got here; I've put on weight and some of my fur is growing back. I like playing with my new dog friends, and these people here seem alright too!
I am learning my basic obedience while I wait for my forever family, and it's going great. I am very treat and toy motivated and will do almost anything for a pupperoni.
I am looking for a home that will treat me with kindness and patience, since I haven't had much of that in my life yet. I would be happy to live with other dogs and families of any design. I will enjoy walks around the neighborhood, watching movies with my people, cuddling on a soft comfy bed, and maybe getting a few little bites of whatever you are having for dinner, hint hint!
I hope you will consider adding me to your family. I'm a good boy who hasn't had it so good, but I'm ready for a new chapter. I will be an excellent companion to your family, and a lifelong best friend. Please call or email to schedule a visit with me. You won't be disappointed!

Meet Saniya! This beautiful young pup is new to The Chance Foundation, and getting to know her has been so much fun. This striking girl is full of life, energy and exuberance!
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 Dog
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.
