Chance, a stunningly handsome 13-month-old, came to AGR after living with a family in Lake Havasu City for a couple months. They had gotten him from a neighbor who couldn’t care for him anymore. However, even though they kept him outside, they found they couldn’t care for him well either, as they had committed to a puppy before Chance came to their home, and having two dogs was one dog too many. So, AGR transporters made the long drive to Quartzsite, where the family was kind enough to meet them with Chance. Then they drove him directly to his new home with an adoptive couple. He made a very favorable first impression, but as time passed and he unpacked his “baggage,” some undesirable behavior traits, primarily doing his business in the house even though there was a doggie door, started to manifest. Our AGR behaviorist was called in to help straighten him out. He really is a wonderful dog now that he has been convinced he is in his forever home. He did very well at the Mayo Blvd PetSmart Meet-and-Greet in September 2012, so we hope that his adopters will continue to bring him to our events.
