My story

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

Van Haagar is doing so well in his foster home but he would love to lay down some roots in a forever home! Van Haagar was born 9/27/2022 and is a pitty mix. Here is what his foster mom has to say about him:

He LOVES food and is very treat motivated, which is amazing for training. He is very sweet, and I think he just needs a lot of love and patience as he gets used to a new home. He truly just wants to hang out and spend time with his humans and doggy friends.

Other fun facts:
He loves his bed and the couches…anything soft!
He loves to snuggle - he makes the perfect coach potato.
He is hesitant of loud noises.
He is kennel trained but prefers the couch. 🛋️
He is house trained.
He does get curious of the trash can because he is so food driven so a trash can with a lid is recommended. 😂
He enjoys car rides-especially if a pup cup is involved
He is working on leash training because he does tend to pull but he does pretty great with recall.
He gets along well with his foster dog siblings- but he can play rough sometimes. He would live a sibling that matches his energy and play style
Cats would be a big NO 🐈🐈‍⬛
Kids are unknown but his foster would recommend kids 8+ just because he is a big boy and could easily knock over a little one.

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.

More about this rescue

"Mikey's Chance" is a dog rescue organization organized under Washington State articles of Incorporation as a Non-profit Charity. 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. We work with individual adopters, private rescuers, and rescue organizations that share our values. 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.
