Meet Chipmunk, a one-year-old black Labrador with a big heart and an even bigger personality! Chipmunk is a very strong, energetic young boy who is still learning the ropes of good manners. Like many young Labs, he can be a little mouthy when he gets excited—but he’s just a playful teenager figuring things out. With consistency, positive training, and a little patience, this smart guy is going to shine. In his kennel, Chipmunk doesn’t always show his best self. Shelter life can be overwhelming, and he can come across as a bit too much at first glance. But once he’s outside the kennel, you’ll see the real Chipmunk. He relaxes, softens, and turns into a loyal companion who just wants to be close to his person. He allows full handling and seeks affection, happily staying by your side—and yes, he’ll even try to crawl right into your lap despite his size! Chipmunk would greatly benefit from getting out of the shelter environment and into a home where he can decompress and continue learning. He’s strong and would do well with someone who can provide structure, exercise, and continued training to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with lots of love to give, Chipmunk might just be your perfect match.
