About Chet

Chet is a charming Shepherd/Lab mix who recently returned to the shelter when things didn’t work out with his last family. This energetic and young guy is full of potential, needing an active household that can keep his body and mind stimulated. Once he settles down, he shows a great eagerness to learn and please. He has displayed a drive to chase birds and other outdoor critters, so he’ll need supervision in those situations. Generally friendly with other dogs, he may come on a bit strong during play. Chet keeps his kennel tidy, is always excited to meet new friends, and has a lot of qualities that could make him a wonderful companion. While he’s still working on basic manners and leash skills, this excitable pup is ready for guidance and continued training. Chet is searching for a devoted family to support his growth. If you think you’d be a good fit, consider applying to adopt this handsome boy today! Chet is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccines and prevention.
