Chandler

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

🖤 Chandler the rescue puppy who has one last chance to catch the Happy Bus this year 🖤 Chandler hasn’t had the best of luck. He and his siblings were found when they were only a few days old and had to be lovingly raised by hand. Since that moment, they have known nothing but love, kindness and affection. Chandler has been reared in a home alongside cats and other dogs, helping him grow into the friendly, loving and well-socialised young dog he is today. He was supposed to travel with his sister ( Cassie) on our August Happy Bus, but there simply weren’t enough spaces. She left for a new life while Chandler stayed behind in Portugal, still waiting for someone to choose him. Sadly, black dogs are often considered unlucky in Portugal and are frequently overlooked. Chandler hasn’t received a single offer of a home—something the volunteers find impossible to understand because he has the most wonderful temperament. He is friendly, affectionate and full of love for everyone he meets. By October, Chandler will be around six months old & we have no Happy Bus travelling in December If he misses it, his chances may become even slimmer. As a bigger, older puppy, Chandler could take up the transport space needed for two smaller puppies, making it more likely that he will be overlooked again in favour of younger dogs. Chandler has done nothing wrong. He is simply growing up while he waits. He is a handsome, black Labrador-looking boy who is expected to be around Labrador size when fully grown. Somewhere, there must be a family who can see beyond the colour of his coat and give this loving young dog the future he deserves. Could you be the person waiting at the other end of his journey? Most of our dogs have been found abandoned as young pups, discarded as unwanted litters, as is often the case in Portugal where neutering is not as common as in the UK. After rescue, all of our pups spend time in private shelters and foster homes, meaning they arrive happy, healthy and well socialised. UK Registered Charity Number 1183775
