It is with a heavy heart we share the passing of Chance, an HVR alumni.  

Chance came in to rescue with a myriad of health issues, at the forefront his advanced kidney disease. He had suffered a great loss in 2021 with the sudden loss of his dad, who he loved dearly - and his foster mom suffered the sudden loss of her own dog shortly after Chance came into rescue. These two came to love each other dearly as they both worked through their grief - and eventually foster mom realized Chance was already where he belonged.

Chance lived a beautifully spoiled and pampered life in the time he had with his mom - complete with road trips, many adorable outfits, pet stairs in every room, pets whenever he demanded, and the best medical care.

Chance was treated to a cheeseburger on his last day - and in true prince Chancey style, he made his mom remove the cheese and bread before gobbling it up (lol). His Mom was by his side in his final moments, with gentle words and tender kisses, to help him pass peacefully. 

Rest in Peace sweet Chancey boy
