This dear old boy spent his life, possibly ten years, on a lonely chain in a dirty yard, below 40 in Winter and scorching in Summer.  He howled at night for most of those years. 

Did anyone care?  No one did anything until an AAS rescuer did.

We named him Chance because he's getting a chance at happiness and health at last - thanks to the rescuer, and to AAS, and to all the lovely animal-lovers who want AAS to help dogs like Chance.

Please make a donation for Chance  if you can.  If he stays in his foster home we are committed to all his expenses for the rest of his life.  Or you can just make it to "AAS's Dear Old Dogs" Fund because we are committed to other old dears too.

AAS immediately had a geriatric blood panel, a fecal sample, an exam, and an urinalysis done. He was starving (the vet's word) so that may account for his anemia and mildly elevated liver enzymes. He's on a high-quality gastro diet which he is taking well. In a few weeks the blood work will be done again to see if eating has improved some of the original findings.

His teeth and gums are in good condition.

If you would like to give Chance the home he deserves, please contact us at animaladvocates@telus.net.

Chance is grateful, but after a lifetime on a chain, he is still learning to make contact with humans and so far he's not good with the cat in his foster home.

There has been such a flood of appeals for help this year that we may not be able to reply very quickly or at all to more appeals.  AAS is now so well-known for its experience in all animal welfare and rescue matters that we are asked for advice and help from all over BC, Canada, the U.S. and the world.  For years I have answered each and every appeal with detailed advice that I have learned from 20 years of rescue and advocacy. Our high standards are well-known to the public, that is why we are so often asked for help and advice.
We are currently working on so many projects that I am sorry to have to tell you that we may not be able to help you with your rescue and/or your personal bills
