Meet Slade 🐾 Just shy of 2 years old, Slade is a handsome chocolate Lab with striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. This energetic boy is looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels. Slade truly shines in one-on-one settings, where his focus is impressive and his eagerness to engage is clear. Add in a few distractions, though, and his playful, puppy-like nature still takes over — he’s young, enthusiastic, and still learning to channel all that energy appropriately. His leash manners are decent, but he’ll need continued work on his heel command. He knows “sit” and “down,” especially when treats are involved, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion. He would thrive in an active home that can provide: Consistent training and clear boundaries Plenty of physical exercise Mental stimulation and structured activities An experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs If you’re ready to invest the time and guidance to help this bright, driven boy reach his full potential, Slade just might be your perfect match. ❤️
