Chewie: 5 y/o neutered male chocolate Lab, 92 lbs Background: Chewe’s owner has suffered some financial setbacks and is currently working three jobs to make ends meet. He realizes he no longer has the time to give Chewie the attention he deserves, The owner reached out to GGLRR to find Chewie a forever home where he can thrive. Chewie’s owner says: Chewie is a handsome 5-year-old chocolate Lab with a big heart and even bigger personality. At 92 pounds of pure enthusiasm, this friendly boy loves life and isn't shy about showing it. Chewie has spent his whole life with his person since he was just 6 weeks old, so he knows what it means to be part of a family. He's house-trained, knows his basic commands, and has lived peacefully with a cat his whole life. He gets along well with other dogs, though given his size and excitement level, slow introductions are important. A true Lab at heart, Chewie lives for his Chuckit and would happily play fetch all day if you let him. Daily walks are another favorite, and after a good session of exercise, he transforms into a chill companion ready to relax at home. He's a people person through and through, greeting everyone with enthusiasm and soaking up all the pets and attention he can get. Chewie can get overstimulated in new situations, so slow introductions work best for him. He also experiences anxiety, which can be eased by a consistent routine and clear structure. While he hasn't spent much time around children, his friendly nature means he could potentially do well with older kids in an active household that understands his need for patient introductions and steady routines. He does have environmental allergies, and weekly baths have helped keep him comfortable and itch-free. Chewie is up to date on all his vaccinations, neutered, and ready to find a family who can give him the time and space to be his best self. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring energy, love, and plenty of tail wags to your home, Chewie might be your perfect match. Chewie's Rescue Rep says: If “Big Lovable Goofball” sounds like your soulmate, Chewie is the dog for you. He’s a fun, happy guy! We’d love to see him go to a home with a yard to play fetch and someone around much of the day as that is what he is used to. He’s got a big wagging Lab tail to match his big heart, and his enthusiastic greetings mean he’d be best in a home without very young or very old people who might be unstable on their feet. Chewie is the kind of dog who can’t help but make you smile no matter how tough a day you’ve had. He’ll bring great joy to your life. Medical Information: Chewie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and will be getting a heartworm test soon.

His allergies are kept under control with a weekly bath with Malaseb. Chewie had TPLO surgeries on both legs a few years ago.
