Chance is a 6-year-old American Bully in Randleman, NC, who needs $1,000 for surgeries.

Chance came to me after my little Yorkie died in a tragic accident. Winston was my first dog and I loved him so much, so when my husband realized that I was still depressed a year later, he decided to look for a new companion to fill that void in my heart. Chance was found by his rescuers chained to a tree, abandoned and starving. We saved him, and he saved me.

What stands out the most about Chance is is loving nature. He craves love and giving love. Gentle giant, by definition. He is noticeably more uncomfortable these days because of his condition which breaks my heart, because despite this he still tries to give as much love as he possibly can muster. His energy levels have significantly depleted because of his many ailments.

I lost my job because of the Covid-19 pandemic. After that, I had our first baby. We are currently surviving off my husband's income alone. If we didn't have a child, I would absolutely spend all our money on treating Chance.

Chance has horrible skin allergies, which requires large doses of expensive medication to manage. He also has an enlarged prostate and a massive abscess around his penis which requires surgery just to explore. In addition he is going blind. And lastly, he has what appears to be a tumor on the back of his neck which would cost several hundred dollars to remove.

Chance is as special as they come! He loves to play, roll around on the floor with me, he comforts me when I'm upset (he always knows), and loves to go on adventures or do ANYTHING as long as he's with his mama and/daddy. He's got his quirks of course, he's afraid of the vacuum and the broom! Which is a bit funny just because he's a big boy! He's very well behaved due to his desire to please us!
