Chance was taken to the fire station the same day before the dog was seen at a Starbucks when he was picked up by the humane society when Jennifer was able to adopt Chance and bring him home with her to spend time with his new family which includes two Anatolian Shepherds and a poodle a miniature poodle in their ranch for the rest of his life after three attempts to find a home fell through due to the dog weighing 100 pounds.

It is very hard to take care of a dog that huge, but so worth it.

That is true since most dogs that I used to own were medium sized dogs.

He is certainly a big dog. I'm glad he has found a forever home.

Chance makes my late dog Poochie look small by comparison.

Thankful Chance for his forever home. My brother and his family had a Mastiff, Ginger weighed around 125lbs. She was a gentle giant.

I did own a dog named Poochie who was a mixed breed dog that weighed about 150 pounds. She was a kind dog as well.

That is one huge dog, and not many people would be prepared to take-on the management of such a large dog. It is good that the dog has gone to a ranch now, and that there are other similar breed dogs there for him to befriend too.
