Hi I’m Choco! I’m a young, handsome pup (about 1 year old) and I’m just as sweet as my name. I’m a chocolate lab mix who recently came to the shelter when my family fell on hard times and couldn’t keep me. I’m a little new here, but I’m already showing everyone what a fun and lovable guy I am! You might notice my gorgeous chocolate-colored coat and striking blue eyes right away! I do tend to turn a few heads, but my personality is just as irresistible. I’m a high-energy, happy pup who loves being around people and brings playful, joyful vibes wherever I go. I’m super social and love hanging out in the office, especially when I can politely ask for pets (okay... sometimes enthusiastically ask). Toys are my favorite and KONG wobblers and balls are at the top of my list! I greet everyone who comes into my space with warmth, tail wags, and big smiles. I already know some basic obedience commands, and I really want to please my people. Since I’m still settling in, the shelter is continuing to learn more about how I do with other animals but one thing’s for sure: I’m a fun little guy with tons of potential. I’m looking for an active home that’s ready to help me learn, grow, and go on lots of adventures together. If you’re searching for a playful, loving companion with a big heart and even bigger personality, I might just be your perfect match. Come meet me today! If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog's better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.
