Chancey's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Mansfield, Ohio. Chancey has received top-notch veterinary care: he’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, heartworm negative and on prevention, as well as flea prevention. He’s also had a dental cleaning with a few extractions and has recovered beautifully—now he's ready to flash that sweet senior smile your way!

Meet Chancey – A Distinguished Gentleman Looking for Love

Chancey is the very definition of a gentle soul. This handsome senior came into rescue through no fault of his own, and while life may have shifted, his loving heart and charming personality shine brighter than ever.

At this stage in life, Chancey knows what he likes: porch sitting, car rides, tasty treats (he's a fan of fruits and veggies!), and most of all—being close to his person. He’s a true cuddle connoisseur who prefers a cozy bed (yours, if you don’t mind sharing), a warm lap, and a quiet home where he can enjoy the good life at a slower pace.

Chancey does well with house training when kept on a schedule and is learning to communicate his needs—sometimes with a little extra volume! Chancey believes in speaking his mind—his sassy commentary adds to his charm, but it does make him better suited to a home without shared walls."

He’s currently living with another low-energy dog, though he’d also be perfectly content as the center of your world. He’s on medication to keep his arthritis pain managed, but stairs can be tricky for him—so a ranch-style home or one with minimal steps would be perfect.

Chancey may have a few gray hairs, but he’s still got so much love to give. He’s looking for a calm, loving home (without young children) where he can bask in attention, enjoy the occasional healthy snack, and soak up every moment of his golden years.

Looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold and a big personality? Chancey is ready to be your devoted best friend.

PLEASE NOTE:   If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances.  If you go to the  individual webpage of our dogs , you will be able to get more information each dog.

Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix.  We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Our Adoption Process

The adoption process has several steps involved. Please review prior to submitting an application. Our adoption process is detailed here:  http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption

Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog.  We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved.  It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.

Special Requirements

Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable.  If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence.  Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets. 

The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms.  The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information.  If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed.  Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home.  No application is approved prior to the home visit being done.   At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.

Out of State Adoptions

We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out of state adoptions can take longer.  We do not ship our dogs, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
