PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL'S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi... I'm Chocolate I'm a 1-year-old black Labrador Retriever with a gentle heart and so much love to give. I've already been a mama, and now it's my turn to find a family who will love and care for me I'm still learning about the world, so I can be a little unsure at times, but I'm trying my best every day. With patience, kindness, and reassurance, I'm starting to come out of my shell and show just how sweet and loving I really am. I absolutely adore being around people and would love a family with kids-I have such a nurturing, gentle nature and just want to be part of a loving home. I enjoy being outside, taking things at my own pace, and slowly building confidence. My ideal home: A loving family with kids A fenced yard where I can feel safe exploring A patient home that will help me learn and grow A calm, supportive environment where I can build confidence I may still be figuring things out, but I have so much love in my heart and so much potential to be an amazing companion. From my foster "She's learning the world right now and just needs patience and love. She's such a sweet girl." If you're looking for a gentle, loving dog to grow with and give a second chance...
