    That's true, but you never know.

    Well, I've just read this whole thread & I'm glad that I'm part of such a wonderful community!
    Phred, I'm glad you talked to them & let us all know what was said.
    I think Phred is right, it sounds like Chance just might get his "chance" to have a nice forever home soon!

    Pat, the Shelter's Full-Time Manager, didn't offer that as a solution;
    so I rather think it's not a formal Shelter option.

    BUTTTT...
    Not ALL of the Shelter's VOLUNTEERS have seen Chance, yet.

    So there IS some HOPE that a Volunteer will fall in love with him and
    either Take Him Home -OR-
    *work* on a Friend or Relative to Give Him a New Home.

    He's still pretty *NEW* to the Shelter -
    and Pat seemed quite CERTAIN they will be able to
    Fix Chance Up with a NEW Home for Christmas!

    Maybe a few PT Prayers offered over the
    ThanksGiving Table might Help!!

    I'm sorry I missed all this this week, but it sounds like Chance is safe for now and emergency plans are in place. We will be praying the right family comes along...the poor dog has been through so much he deserves it!

    Well I certainly don't have a "dogless" home but something MUST be done. I will drive anywhere for a rescue and pay whatever I can for vet's or whatever is needed right now. p.m. me for whatever I can do. It's Thanksgiving tomorrow but I'm not having a "thing". My husband died four years ago today and I can think of no better tribute to his life.

    That's a very good idea. I always look for any new pics or
    updates on Chance and posting everything here makes it a
    lot easier to keep up. I don't want to miss any pictures or other
    messages from Valerie about Chance.

    I visited Chance today and he was SO HAPPY to see me! The dogs don't get to socialize there like they did a doggy day care. They all have their own kennel. Chance was jumping and giving kisses like crazy. I just want to make sure he knows that I didn't forget about him. Took me a while to get the leash on him as he was so wiggly with happiness. I spent at least 30 minutes with him, walking him and letting him enjoy the grass and the cooler weather. He's such a sweetheart. Made me sad to see people picking other dogs to take to the play area. I wish someone would want him.

    And I love this next pic. I did get him to smile while I was there.

    I hated to leave him. He jumped up on the gate and looked so sad. I couldn't bear to get a pic of that, though. I told him I'd be back soon. They're not open on Monday and I 've got to work 2 days after that but I'll be sure to see him on Thurs. and Friday. I want him to be as comfortable as possible while he's there. They seem to be taking really good care of all the dogs.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    He's just adorable and I am praying hard that he will find his forever home very soon. Please keep us posted, Valerie, as you find out more about his situation at the SPCA. And thank you, Phred, for all the input you have already given (and I'm sure will continue to give).

    What an angel. I would take him in a heartbeat if I could afford the time and money to travel from MD to FL.

    What a happy update, Valerie! Though I know it must have been very hard on you and on Chance as you left . I can't believe that he hasn't been taken out for a test run yet I'm sure that will change very soon! And many thanks to Phred for his help and support; as usual, Cinder and Smokey are on the job! And Micki, you're the best! What a kind and agenerous offer! With everyone pulling for him, he just has to find that furever home very soon!

    Chance looks very happy in those pictures Valerie!!
    Thanks for the update!!!
    I'm still praying for this sweet boy, and I am definitely at my limit, but if all else fails, he can have a home here in PA, with 4 other doggies.
