A Note from the Foster: 🐾 Meet Chase 🐾

Chase is an 8‑month‑old, 40‑pound black Lab mix with a heart as big as his puppy smile. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear he’s a people‑dog through and through. He loves being near his humans, soaking up attention, and snuggling whenever he gets the chance.

Chase does wonderfully with our older resident female dog and is incredible with kids, happily playing and gently interacting his foster kids ages 6 and 11. He enjoys running around the backyard, playing with his toys, and learning new things. He’s currently working on his leash skills and is eager to please — especially since he’s food motivated (but not food aggressive).

This sweet boy is potty trained and will politely whine at the back door when he needs to go outside. At night, Chase sleeps soundly through the night in his kennel, though we’re certain he’d love nothing more than to curl up close to you as he’s a true snuggler at heart.

Chase is ready for a forever home filled with love, companionship, and maybe a cozy spot on the couch.

Adoption Fee: $560 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
