He got a second chance at life, a chance to save lives, and now Chance has a chance to be a national top dog. The cur mix breed, that was once severely abused, rescued and became a deputy dog, is now one three semi-finalists in the shelter dog category of the 2021 American Humane Hero Dog Awards.
Chance was found roaming around a Lehigh Acres neighborhood in February 2019 bleeding, dehydrated and bound with red electrical tape around his mouth. Officers described him then as being near death. They believe he was being used as a bait dog for dog fights. Chance was adopted by Lieutenant Richard Castellon and deputized by Sheriff Carmine Marceno.
