My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hank is a Parvo survivor born August 20, 2024. He is a German Shepherd mix. He’s in the Velociraptor stage, but has a super soft mouth, and hasn’t left a single mark. He’s a cuddle bug and wants to be near you. Hank has a rock-solid sit, still working on down, and a good recall when off-leash. He is good on a leash, a good walker and runner-by himself or in the pack. He wants to learn many new skills, especially if you reinforce with food.

Hank is mostly potty trained with very few accidents. He is working on going to the door AND letting you know he needs to go outside using a bell. Pees like a girl, though.

He is very fond of cats, and lets you know loudly when they are close-by. He is very interested but haven’t had any significant interactions.

He is very solidly crate trained. Takes his food in the crate. Takes naps and is good all night.

He has recently found his voice, so you will be aware when the "Brown Santa" (aka UPS truck) is at the door. As he gets more confident the noise will go down, but every person and dog have his attention. As he meets people and dogs a second time, he knows that they are not Freddy and his level of attention goes down. The mouthy part may be a bit much for under 5 yo, but he’s getting better every day.

He's wicked smart. At the time of this post, he was on day 11 with his foster and was solidly into their routine on day 2. Best fit home for Hank would be an active one with a securely fenced yard and if there are kids in the home, over the age of 5. Applications: www.mikeyschance.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application to be filled out which includes personal references. An in-Home check by a Mikey's Chance volunteer is also performed prior to adoption. Our dogs come to the adopter "ready-to-go" with current Vet health checks, all shots and vaccinations current and the animal spayed or neutered, as well as micro-chipped.

Our adoption process can take 2-4 weeks to process as we are run completely by volunteers, all of whom work full time jobs.

Go meet their pets

We depend on a network of volunteers and fosters for the care of our dogs. The dogs are fostered primarily in Tri-Cities, WA. We often have Meet 7 Greet events at Petsmart and Paws Natural Pet Emporium LLC both in Kennewick.

To find out about these and our other events check us out on Facebook or at our website at MikeysChance.com.

We focus mainly on saving dogs that are at risk or on “Death Row” in shelters in our area, and placing them to great families.

All our dogs are up to date on shots, sterilized, and microchipped prior to adoption, and they are all carefully evaluated to ensure the best possible match with adopters.
