Meet Slade! He's just shy of 2 years old and a handsome chocolate Lab with 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 was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Texas and is excited to start his next journey with you!
Ideal Home
Slade is looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels. He would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, and mental stimulation and structured activities. An experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs is a must.
Ongoing Health
All vetting is included in the adoption fee, which includes DAPP, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, spay/neuter, flea prevention, heartworm testing and prevention, and micro-chipping.
Training & Support
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. Our team works day in and day out to bring every Little Hero out of their shell and provides behavior & medical care to prepare them for adoption.

- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- For those being picked up at our Angleton, Tx location, the fee is $75.
