after his owner became critically ill. A social worker involved in the case first contacted Merlin's Hope on Chance's behalf and described appalling living conditions. Food was so sparse, that he sadly suffers from malnutrition; Chance's only access to water was the toilet bowl. The social worker had taken pity on Chance and after walking him during a few of her visits, felt that he deserved happier senior years. Chance and his owner were removed from their home by ambulance and unfortunately during this transfer, an attendant sustained a bite. We communicated with staff members and recieved videos of a happy dog during his mandatory bite hold at Animal Services. Merlin's Hope usually doesn't accept dogs with a bite history as they may not be adoptable, but because of our understanding of chows and the specific circumstances, we decided to take a chance on Chance! Chance's shelter report described an underweight dog whose sparse coat was not only matted with urine and feces, but somehow also contained blanket fabric and leash bits. Medically an infection was indicated along with skin and tooth issues, but his kidney and liver values are only slightly out of the desired range. The bad news is Chance was deemed to be aggressive at intake and in other shelter and vet interactions. Today we pulled this pitiful-looking guy who otherwise would have been euthanized and started him on a dewormer and antibiotics. Sadly there aren't many people looking for a 10-year-chow with missing fur, a bite history, and other medical issues. We do know that Chance deserves better than to be put down by strangers in a scary environment. So, we’re giving him a chance to settle in, improve medically, and perhaps even be adopted. Whether he is with us for a day, a week, or a year, so long as he is with Merlin's Hope, Chance will be well-fed and cared for. If his final days are with us, we will make sure that Chance has known love and compassion. Please consider giving Chance a chance. He has been an only dog for a lot of years, so let’s minimize the stress and pray there’s a quiet home with no other pets or children where he can relax and enjoy the rest of his life happily. Chance is a good listener, walks well on leash, gives paw and enjoys company. He is a playful boy who just needs to be loved…fed regularly (every day) have fresh water available all the time, and let outside to do his business a few times a day. He’s low maintenance.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
