Chancellor "Chance" is an amazing dog. However, he was not adjusting to rescue life very well, in the beginning, he went on a hunger strike that had us worried... he's eating now but you must spend time with him before meals. I'm sure that would change once he's comfortable in a home of his own.
He just wants to be with you and went from what we assume was a life running wild and free, doing whatever he wanted as he was homeless. He waited in one spot for over a week for his people to come back for him. He waited through thunderstorms and bad weather for a family that, unfortunately, never came back for him, nor did they claim him when he was caught. When caught, he was confined to a kennel and was not adjusting well.
His ideal home is with someone that has a large, fenced yard OR someone who doesn't mind taking him for walks frequently. He has good leash manners. He is a sweetheart who wants to climb in your lap and give you all the hugs he can. He loves car rides, although getting in the car is a bit scary, however, once he’s in the car, he absolutely loves it. He has some basic obedience and gets so happy when you tell him he's a good boy. He loves head scratches and big hugs with chest scratches. He also loves to be groomed and will allow you to brush him for hours on end, he gets excited when he sees a brush.
Chance is an Adult-Senior male. Our best guess is Lab x Chow, but many, including myself, think he looks a bit like a Carolina Dog.
As you can see, he's a cuddle bug and would make anyone the perfect companion. If you're looking for a dog that's going to give you unconditional love in exchange for the bare minimum, Chance is the guy for you!

Our adoption process consists of an application, reference checks, home visits when a reference check is not enough, meet and greet and adoption contract signing.
Please fill out all application fields as accurately as possible. We will not process incomplete applications.
If a dog/pup is listed on Petfinder, we are still accepting applications on him/her.
We do not adopt on a first come, first serve basis, but based on what we feel is the best fit for the family and most importantly, the animal.
We do not keep applications on file. If you are interested in a particular animal please complete an application for that particular animal.
Due to limited space and funding we are unable to, "hold" any animal to be adopted at a later time even with a completed adoption contract.
We welcome out of state adopters. However, please keep in mind that you will HAVE TO come to Holly Hill, SC to meet and adopt any of our animals.
Adoption fees are normally $500 for dogs $300 for cats. However they vary by animal and are listed in each individual posting.
Meet and Greets are scheduled only with approved adoption applications.
Please keep in mind that we do our best to make an educated guess as to the breeds of our rescued pets. In rescue we rarely see the parents of our dogs and puppies, and even when we do, they are usually mixed breeds as well. We also rarely know the age or background (behavioral & medical). We do our best to give accurate descriptions based on what we see while we have them.
