Chance's Story

All Aboard!!! Animal Rescue Passenger Chance Waiting for a Forever Home!<br/><br/>*IMPORTANT NOTE: Chance is extremely undersocialized and is working on gaining confidence in his foster home. He is looking for a very specific type of home. If you are interested in meeting Chance, your first step is to submit an application.*<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $375<br/><br/>Meet Chance: This handsome guy is very shy and working on gaining confidence. Chance is learning to love and trust again. Chance is looking for a home who is understanding that he will require patience and love to help him gain confidence. <br/><br/>From Their Previous Shelter:<br/><br/>With dogs - https://youtube.com/shorts/TS0V1OqpaMQ?feature=share<br/><br/>Poor guy has it rough and is shy but able to be handled, he's good with other dogs, just lounges in a spot and doesn't do much. He needs some love, kindness, and TLC to gain some confidence.<br/> <br/>Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/AR1SzmAbd2w?feature=share<br/><br/>Playgroup - https://youtube.com/shorts/s62f4Ur30fY?feature=share<br/><br/>Life hasn't always been kind to Chance.<br/><br/>This handsome 5-year-old neutered Australian Shepherd mix weighs 37 pounds and arrived from a home where he wasn't given the care he deserved. His coat, once beautiful and fluffy, became matted from neglect, and somewhere along the way, this gentle boy learned to make himself small and quiet.<br/><br/>But even after everything, Chance still has a soft heart.<br/><br/>With his soulful eyes and sweet expression, Chance is what we lovingly call an undercover lover. At first, he may keep his feelings tucked away behind a shy exterior, but beneath all that fluff is a kind and loving dog just waiting for someone to show him that the world can be gentle.<br/><br/>Chance isn't mean-not even a little. He's simply unsure. He needs a patient person with a soft voice, a cozy home, and a kind hand to help him discover that love and safety are real. The shelter is a big and overwhelming place for a sensitive soul like him.<br/><br/>Low energy and easygoing, Chance is happiest doing what he does best: lounging nearby, curling up on a soft bed, and quietly keeping you company. He would especially thrive in a home with other dogs, as canine friends help him feel safe and confident. A calm home where he can settle in at his own pace would mean the world to him.<br/><br/>His future is bright. With regular brushing and grooming to keep his beautiful coat in tip-top shape, and most importantly, with love and patience, Chance is ready to blossom into the dog he was always meant to be.<br/><br/>After years of simply surviving, Chance is ready for something new:<br/><br/>A soft bed.<br/>A full heart.<br/>A family that shows him kindness every day.<br/><br/>Sometimes the quietest dogs have the most love to give. Chance is ready to learn that there is still goodness in this world-and perhaps, for the first time, truly feel at home. <br/><br/>Interested in this furry companion?<br/>The first step is to complete our online application by clicking the "Apply for Adoption" button.<br/><br/>*PLEASE NOTE*<br/><br/>Photos, information, age, breed, size, medical status, behavior, and adoption fee are all subject to change as we get to know them.

All Aboard Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process: We are a foster based rescue, and do not currently have a location. To meet or adopt any of our dogs or puppies you will need to attend one of our weekly Saturday adoption events. You must be present at the event to adopt a dog. We ask that you pre fill out an application prior to attending the event so that we can get you approved and you can take home your new puppy from our event. We start marketing our available dogs and puppies BEFORE they arrive in CO to work on finding them their forever homes as quickly as possible and to decrease the amount of times they have to be moved around. Most of our dogs and puppies are NOT in CO when they are posted on the website. Step 1 – Fill Out An Adoption Application Please fill out an application online, which can be found under the adoptions tab. Applications must be filled out in full and electronically signed or we will not review them. Please allow us 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you. You will receive an email back from us letting us know if you are able to adopt or not. If you fill out an application less than 24 hours before one of our adoption events, do not expect to get a response back from us before the event. Step 2 – Placing a Dog or Puppy on Hold We are able to hold one dog or puppy per approved applicant to give you the first chance to meet and hopefully adopt that puppy. Dogs on hold will only be held for the first hour of our adoption event from 10-11am. After 11am all dogs will be available on a first come first serve basis. A dog is not on hold for you until you have received a confirmation email back from us letting you know that your application has been approved and you have confirmed that you will be at our adoption event to meet your chosen dog. Step 3 – Attending an Adoption Event Our adoption events are held every Saturday from 10am-1pm at the Fort Collins Petco located at 2211 South College Avenue. No one will be let into the event before 10am, as we are setting up and all of the foster dogs are arriving, so please do not crowd or pester us. If you have a dog on hold a volunteer can help you locate that dog and you get the next hour to socialize with that dog and decide if it is a good fit. If you do not have a dog on hold, you are welcome to come meet our dogs that do not have holds on them, but dogs with holds will not be available to meet until after 11am. Volunteers will be happy to answer questions and help you introduce the dog to your current dog(s), kid(s), etc. Once you are ready to adopt there will be more paperwork and an adoption fee. Step 4 – Adopting Even though you have already submitted an application online, there will be more paperwork required to make the adoption official. You will need to complete all of the required adoption paperwork and pay the adoption fee. ADOPTION FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
