Some friends of mine in Stony Plaines, Alberta (near Edmonton) lost their dog.

He's a tri colour-headed white sheltie and his name is Chance. I don't know if anyone knows anyone near Edmonton, but if you do please let them know to keep a lookout. He was rescued from a VERY bad BYB situation where he was kept in an outside kennel for two years with no human contact. He is very shy and scared and will not go near a person. He will basically need to be caught. He's such a scared boy, I can't imagine it will be easy to catch him. Another of the BYB dogs recently bolted from her foster home here in Kelowna, and she took weeks to catch.

Here are a couple pics of him.

He's mostly white with some big black patches on his side. He has the typical tri head. His ears aren't tipped. If cornered he may bite, but probably not hard as biting is a last resort for him and he doesn't like doing it.

Please pray for Chance, I really fell in love with him when my good friend and boos, Kelly, owned him. She gave him to her sister in law when her and her husband really wanted him, and Chance has been doing so well there being the only dog. :(

That's just awful. Whatta beautiful boy he is. I hope he is found soon. My aunt lives in Edmonton but it is really hard to get in contact with her, but if I do I will be sure to tell them.

Do you have a poster? I have some friends in that area. I can steal those pics if you don't and email it to them.

Thanks so much everyone! Chance needs all the prayers and help he can get.

Glacier, I'm not sure if they posted signs, but any help is good!

I hope someone finds him or he finds his way back home. He sure is a cutie. He's in my thoughts.

Still no sign of him. :( There are TONS of coyotes in the area. I can't imagine that he would ever fall for a coyote's tricks, he's very wary of everything, but they are smart and if they gang up on him he won't have a chance. I hope he just goes home. His owners are really beating themselves up right now. It is hunting season and a gun went off and scared him, he bolted. They didn't have a gate over the driveway.

Turns out that running away was the best thing that could have happened for Chance. Chance from day one has been a TOTAL freak, most terrified of everything dog in the world. But since getting a bit of independance, he will now actually go outside on his own (without having to be dragged out by his leash), he will actually go into the kitchen (where he would never go before), he isn't afraid of walking on the floor anymore, and he is actually begging for food! :eek:
