Ugh, I have a stomach ache from worry. :(

I don't see why KayAnn can't try it :confused:
Chance DOES **NOT** "play" with the other Shelter Dogs!!!!
He is VERY AGGRESSIVE (read NASTY) towards
ANY other dog that does not totally Submit To Him!!
They Do NOT allow him in a run or exercise area with other dogs!
He "interacts" with other dogs from the Opposite Side of a FENCE!
The Shelter will not change their mind -
Chance does NOT belong with other dogs (or Cats, probably)!!
Chance needs a NO Other Animals Foster or FurrEver Home!
Sorry - but that's the Way He IS...
and his Alpha Attitude will NOT be an easy thing to Train him out of!!
We'll be a Lot better off to Search Out a Florida Family
that will be willing to Adopt and Train Chance as an ONLY Animal!

I READ those parts about Chance and UNDERSTAND that. HOWEVER, this is what you said in a previous postQuote:

SO that lead me to believe he is able to play with submissive dogs.Quote:
She said he's an Alpha Personality with other Dogs - if the other submits to him - he's Mr. Personality with the Wiggley Butt.
But he can't stand another Alpha Dog!
I still stand by my statement that KayAnn should try it. I've had years upon years of experience dealing with shelter dogs with very similar issues. You would be VERY surprised at how behaviour can change OUTSIDE the shelter. TRUST ME.
He interacted with other dogs at the day care place and was fine. Please Phred, respect my privacy in not naming places I frequent. Remember that this is the internet and thousands of people come here. Now, I'm worried more about Chance now. Aly, I don't have a shedule to where I can visit him every day, or I would. And I have done other things to try to find him a home. On 12/3 he was on tv and no one adopted him. He was at the adoptathon this past Saturday. Still nothing. He was advertised a lot on the radio today. I just don't want his time to run out. I'll be able to see him on Saturday. I think he gets along fine with Duke, though he's never been to my house. I live with parents so they didn't want another dog in the house. They helped me for a while now I'm able to help them so that's why I'm staying home. I guess I really hope KayAnn can do it. I'd be close to him and know he was getting the very best treatment.
Val ~~ I made this for you and for Chance. :)

I know you're doing all you can, Valerie. Keep up the great work!
Thats great news he got along with Duke. I somehow had a feeling there wouldn't be any problems. Now.. we all need to sweet talk KayAnn's parents!
Anyone else thinking I should print out "Chance wants to come and visit" signs all over the house? ;) ;)
I too would love to see him end up with KayAnn. We all know he'd have the wonderful care he needs and deserves there. My experience has been that with a little time and love, most dogs can be surprisingly adaptable. It might be a bit rocky at first but once everyone established their place in the "pack" I think things would go fine.
I know all of us here would also love to continue to see him and have updates on him.
Paws and fingers crossed for Chance-pup. X
That is so cute, KayAnn! I just didn't want you to have to ask your parents because the dogs already take up a lot of room and I didn't want them to feel pressured. But, I know Chance would have a great place to stay and even if you couldn't keep him forever, at least he could get some training and wouldn't have a set time limit and would be out of the shelter atmosphere.
Heck, i'll move into our newly built shed if I have to. :p the garage floor is fine with me as well. ;)
Definitely! :D :D :DQuote:

All offending references to "Places" have been

Good Luck, Chance... ;)

Good grief, when you are making the extra effort to help, Phred, I hardly think you owe anyone an apology!!! Sorry if I'm coming off in a negative manner, it just seems that a lot of information is coming out at the last minute that could have saved a lot of hassle from the very start, such as Valerie lives with others who will not welcome Chance, even though he might get along fine with Duke (that's good knowledge, just wish we had known it sooner). When we get this involved in a situation like this, we are all looking for any possible answer. Anything that we can know, immediately, helps!!! No need to apologize, Phred.
If she's not able to house Chance with her, because of her parents, then why would him getting along with Duke matter? And if you've followed this, from the bginning, I believe she mentioned once or twice in other threads that he got along with Duke.
Can we all please focus on the fact that this thread is trying to HELP Chance, and not bicker ........ finger pointing, and commenting on people's "errors or oversights" will not help anything or anyone.
Everyone who has offered help and their opinions - well done, you are all amazing people who obviously really care about Chance and all his options.
Logan, I am very thankful of Phred's help and I never said I wasn't. That's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying otherwise, Valerie. I have followed Chance's threads as closely as possible, and I just saw some things today that I was unaware of before. If KayAnn can take him, and her parent's agree, that is terrific! God knows, I wish I could help him in some way.
I am not pointing fingers, I just felt badly that Phred felt he needed to apologize for divulging information, when he had divulged very little.
That's all I was saying, and all I will say. I just want that boy to find a proper home, wherever it is.
Logan
She's posted pics of Him and duke together before, so it's obvious they get along. :)
No verdict yet?
My dad isn't home from Lakeland yet. I'm in the process of cleaning my room and the house.
:D Good thinking! :DQuote:

My dad's home, but he was very tired so I didn't want to ask him right away. He's been up since 6am.
I'll mention it on the way to school tomorrow then really talk to him about it when I get home.
poor chance, I wish I could take him.
All i can do is pray!!
Kayann when you talk to your parents make sure you say its only temperary then they might be a bit more willing! they may even love him and want to keep him!
I think his issues are hurdles not wall's you can train him to jump them. with training he'll learn to be an even better dog than he is now!!
GOOG LUCK!!!
Ky and Rio
I didn't talk to him about it this morning. He was tired from coming home so late and I was tired from staying up so late, so I thought it would be better off to just be quiet.
Now, how do I bring this up to him?
I was thinking of printing out all of the posts on Chance, since day one from Animal Control and showing them to him.
I asked him what he thinks about fostering a dog. He just laughed in my face. I feel like crying. I am crying. I feel like screaming. :( :( :( :( :(
i'm not going to give up though, i won't.
I just got caught up on all of this...... I pray for him!!!
Kay, I know how you feel, trying to just ask the question is very very hard. And when I asked my dad about another dog he also laughed and said no. But I still havent gave up. I have been keeping my room clean and all that stuff. I try to bring it up in some points. Just dont give up!
KayAnn, don't push your luck. You were so fortunate that he "gave in" and let you get Nala. I don't want you to mess up a good thing. Has your dad met Valerie, and has he heard about Chance, specifically? What about your mom?
Seems like there ought to be other options out there for him, other than all of the pressure to fall on you.
I will be anxious for an update about the advertising and how it is received. I hope that the shelter director was at least upbeat about Chance. Fingers, paws and claws crossed here. :)
I'm not pushing my luck. It's the first time i've mentioned fostering Chance.
Yes, i'm lucky he let me get Nala, after how many years? I wouldn't mess anything up and we'd NEVER get rid of Nala. I couldn't, my mom couldn't and my dad wouldn't dare.
Yes, he's met Valerie, both of my parents have as she's slept in our home before. they've also heard of chance and saw pictures of him when Valerie first posted about him.
I printed out a 2 page long full of information and posts about Chance. My dad is reading it right now.
Hey, you got him reading it. That's a great first step at least :)
Good luck!!!Quote:

KayAnn, I feel for you. I really appreciate your trying. I am sick to my stomach over this. I don't know what I'm going to do about it but don't feel bad if he says no. It's not his fault.
Just checking in to see how things are going. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending out good thoughts for Chance. I hope he finds some happiness really really soon! Hang in there, Chance! Its gonna happen. I can feel it!!!!
Robin :)
This seems to be how I'm feeling at this point. Has there beenQuote:

any feedback from the shelter efforts so far? Don't get me wrong,
I think it would be fantastic for Chance to be around Kay Ann for
awhile.She seems to be a natural with dogs of every persuasion.
I am hopeing and praying very hard for some positive news.:)
Just "bumping" this up, as I hope Valerie will update us in regards to the advertisements in the various media, and any positive/negative outcome. Fingers/paws/claws are all crossed, and many, many prayers for Chance, coming from SC.
Logan
Hey Chance,
How are you doing sweetheart? Please hang in there o,k,?
God must have a very special purpose in mind for you. I know
you haven't come this far just to be disappointed in humans
again. Don't give up hope baby, you are loved & cared about
by many folks you haven't even met yet. :) Wishing you the
very best in makeing the right connections to get to a loving
forever home. Good night & sweet dreams of a better future.:)
I don't really have anything new. He's going to be on the radio again next week. I put an ad in our employment want ads and am going to try to get flyers made up. I'm really getting discouraged and am losing hope.
Dont loose hope. You can do this O.K? I know what it is like to be in a stressfull situation, believe me. But I have the worlds greatest feeling that Chance will get that Chance and find a new home.
Valerie, I sent you a PM a few minutes ago. Just wanted you to be on the lookout for it.
On another note, way back sometime, Sandra mentioned "Save a Stray"........I can't remember much more about it. Were they ever contacted?
