Chance’s Story
Chance, a blind dog, was asked what they could do to make him less agitated.
Dog Operations Manager’s Survey Response
“I took the key points from the communication with Chance (as far as his requests for interacting with people) and made an information sheet that is hanging on his kennel for volunteers to read before interacting with him. This has prompted a lot more discussion around Chance and his well-being with volunteers and his helping them to be more aware. In the last few weeks Chance seems less disoriented, more settled, and is navigating the spaces he is in with more awareness. He’s also been less restless at night and responding to more of the verbal cues we give him. The communication session with Chance was so helpful to us in being able to better meet his needs and I feel like is a big part of the positive changes we are noticing with him!”

“Also, I wanted to share with you that Chance is now in a foster home!
We’ve received many good updates from the foster about how well Chance is doing there and how he’s showing more of his personality. The foster does have another dog also. I know in the communication session it came up about him wanting to be around another dog, so I’m so happy he has that now. We are so thrilled with him getting to be in a home and are keeping our fingers crossed that this will turn into an adoption! “
