Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and has striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. 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. He's a "Little Hero" from Pura Sanguine, a rescue dedicated to giving deserving animals a second chance.
Ideal Home
Slade would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation and structured activities, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs. He truly shines in one-on-one settings, and his playful, puppy-like nature takes over with distractions.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Slade's 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. Pura Sanguine provides behavior and medical care, including training and socialization, to prepare their animals for adoption.
