Chance - Shepherd and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Chatham, New Jersey

My name is Chance, I am 3.5 months and 15 lbs. My ears and beautiful eyes harken to some type of Shepherd and my coat might tell us that I have a bit of Terrier or Hound in my genes. I am a handsome fella. I have been socialized with many things in my young life due to having a great foster home! Young kids, cats and dogs are part of my daily routine. I am playful, curious, affectionate and happy to be feeling like a normal puppy. I came to a shelter with a very painful case of mange. Because I am healthy and young, it just took a few weeks for my skin to heal and my coat to come in. I was unrecognizable at first so we had no idea what I would turn out to be! I am a doll and ready to live a life with only good things. I will need to learn the puppy rules which include what to chew, where to go to the bathroom and probably to keep four paws on the ground when I get extra happy. I am smart, food motivated and love toys! Here is a link to the application if you are interested in me! https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
