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 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. Slade truly is a bright, driven boy with all the potential to grow into an incredible companion.
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, mental stimulation and structured activities, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were mentioned in his description.
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 has a team of dedicated animal care professionals who provide behavior and medical care to prepare each animal for adoption, including behaviorally training and providing social enrichment.
